This paper summarises the results of a research project examining transport disadvantage in metropolitan Melbourne. The project is part of a wider international research program funded by the Australian Research Council which is currently focusing on understanding transport disadvantage in Metropolitan Melbourne. The aim of the research is to explore the concept of forced car ownership as it might apply to urban Melbourne. The paper explores the relationship between income, location, car ownership, accessibility and public transport supply. It also explores car related expenditure and income and the travel behaviours of low income residents who have zero cars and those who might be considered to have forced car ownership.
