Sustainable Transport and Mobility Handbook: Volume 1
Our cities and towns are growing at an alarming rate and the need for transport and mobility solutions that are viable and sustainable has never been greater. We are now required to radically rethink how we transport ourselves and our goods.
Now add the supreme challenge of global climate change as transport accounts for approximately 35% of green house gas emissions globally – so much attention will be focused on this important sector in the short to medium term.
Increased government and industry regulation around emissions, safety and efficiency is aimed at:
• increasing transport and mobility capacity
• reducing time spent traveling
• avoiding new construction interventions
• increasing safety
• reducing vehicle pollutants (such as CO2 and oil)
