Abstract
Pandemics like novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are a major threat to global health. It has resulted in disruptions of supply chain, global economic infrastructure, and day-to-day activities of the general population. Modern transportation plays a major role in the spread of this disease through air, road and rail networks. However, transportation system is elementary to any society. It provides the required mobility to people and essential goods. Reduced demand during and after lockdown along with the negative perception about the role of transport environment in spreading the virus, may affect its sustainability. Thus, necessary measures should be taken to ensure the sustainability of transportation after the lockdown, which is enforced in different countries to control virus spread, is lifted. The objectives of this paper is to; (i) identify the impacts of COVID 19 on transportation infrastructure; (ii) highlight how the transportation system should be shaped to meet needs of the community post COVID-19, and (iii) suggest a set of policy recommendations, strategies, and interventions to address the transportation issues in a post-COVID world. The discussed interventions are an attempt to develop safe, sustainable and disease resilient transportation system in a post-COVID world.
