Role of transportation:
Transportation contributes to the
economic,industrial, social and cultural development of any country.
Transportation is vital for the economic development of any region since every
commodity produced whether it is food,clothing, industrial products or ! medicine
needs transport at all stages from production to distribution. In the
production stage , transportation is required for carrying raw materials like
seeds , manure, coal, steel, etc. In the distribution stage, transportation is
required from the production centres viz. farms and factories to the marketing
centres and later to the retailer’s and consumers for the distribution. The
inadequate transportation facilities retard the process of socio economic
development of the country. The adequacy of transportation system of a country
indicates its economic and social development.

Economic activity and transport :
The economic activities are the processes by
means of which the products are utilised to satisfy the human wants. Two
important factors well known in economic activity are
means of which the products are utilised to satisfy the human wants. Two
important factors well known in economic activity are
I. Production or supply
II. Consumption for human wants or demands
Man and his products are thus not bound to
his local surroundings. The importance of transportation in economic activity
is to be found in its effect on both humans wants for goods and satisfaction
through production and distribution. While discussing the general effects of
transportation, it may be said that the increased productivity and it’s
efficient transportation can lower the cost of the products. The transportation
cost is always an influencing factor on consumer price of commodities.

Social effects of transportation :
Progress follows the the lines of
transportation. Population have always settled along with the rivers shores,
road sides and near railway stations. In the present concept of transportation
network, this kind of ribbon development is greatly discouraged. Attempts are
being made to decentralise the population centres away from the sides of the
main transportation routes. Thus town planning patterns are rapidly changing.
To avoid congestion around the populated areas across suburban living and
industrial enterprises are developing. These suburbs and satellite towns acting
as counter magnets should be linked up
with rapid transit systems. The various social effects of transportation may be
further elaborated as :
