Abstract: Let $ \Omega$ be a bounded Lipschitz regular open subset of $ \mathbb{R}^d$ and let $ \mu,\nu$ be two probablity measures on $ \overline{\Omega}$. It is well known that if $ \mu=f\, dx$ is absolutely continuous, then there exists, for every $ p>1$, a unique transport map $ T_p$ pushing forward $ \mu$ on $ \nu$ and which realizes the Monge-Kantorovich distance $ W_p(\mu,\nu)$. In this paper, we establish an $ L^\infty$ bound for the displacement map $ T_p x-x$ which depends only on $ p$, on the shape of $ \Omega$ and on the essential infimum of the density $ f$.
