The article criticizes how transportation policy is studied, finding that most papers focus on technical tools rather than real-world examples or governance issues. This narrow focus limits the usefulness of the research for actual policy making. The authors suggest that the field should pay more attention to governance aspects like context, power, and legitimacy to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
