This material has been developed to help post-16 students studying for the Transport Economics module of the A2 Economics course offered by both OCR and AQA examination boards. It is intended to provide both structured and relevant material allowing students of all abilities to fully access the course.

The resource pack has been developed by an experienced teacher of Economics to ensure that all-key aspects of both the theoretical and applied sections of the module are covered.

Each section of the course has a set of worksheets that are easily accessible to students with clear instructions as to what is required of the users. The sheets are designed to be used as an extension of the delivery of the core module or alternatively to be used as part of a structured revision processes.

The majority of the work sheets contain specific questions and for each of these sheets there is an accompanying teacher's sheet with a number of suggested answers. The remaining sheets contain group and individual research, presentation and discussion tasks.

One of the key skills to be developed at A-level is that of evaluation and discussion. In order to further this, a significant proportion of the questions are discursive in their style and require students to both consider a number of viewpoints and to make a justified decision.

Lastly, the material has been designed to be relevant to both students and reality, in order that they are able to enjoy the completion of their course.
