Guidance Note on COVID-19 and Transport in Asia and the Pacific
Asian Development Bank | July 2020
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to share (i) the collective experiences on how COVID-19 is affecting social and travel behaviors in Asia and the Pacific and how the transport sector is responding in the face of the crisis, and (ii) guiding principles and good practices in transport operations to support economic recovery. The fight against COVID-19 is expected to be a long journey. Some experts believe that COVID-19 may not be wiped out completely until a vaccine is developed and disseminated widely. In the meantime, new solutions are required to enhance the resilience of transport services and infrastructure to keep economies running and growing without compromising public health. The crisis has already inspired innovations across the sector, highlighting opportunities for future partnerships and synergies.
