What is the value of a driver licence? A contingent valuation study of Australian adults

Holding a driver licence was found to be of substantial value to participants. While support for alternative methods of transport is important, these results highlight the importance of programs to support driver licensing, and those addressing known disparities in licensing status across population groups, such as those faced by Australia's Indigenous communities. Given the link between licensing and wider social and economic opportunities, such programs can potentially play a broad role in addressing social disadvantage and exclusion.
