Abstract
This paper investigates the distributional impacts of transport transition policies in Germany, focusing on transport poverty. A two-step methodology, combining principal component analysis (PCA) and latent class modeling (LCM), defines a transport poverty scale (TPS). The TPS classifies German households into four groups: transport-poor, car-dependent, sufficient, and independent. The car-dependent and transport-poor are identified as the most vulnerable to increased driving costs due to inelastic driving demand. Policy recommendations, including a redesigned commuter tax allowance and an optimized scrappage system, are proposed to mitigate the negative impacts on these groups and increase the acceptance of transport transition policies.
