Sustainable Transport

Pursuing sustainable transport requires addressing several aspects by using the right instruments and measures. For instance, the provision of reliable, safe and affordable public transport is an effective measure. Putting in place the right economic incentives, which can lead to decreased private motorisation is an effective instrument. Promoting modal shift from private vehicles to public and non-motorised transport (NMT) is an efficient measure. Similarly, the implementation of massive information campaigns to increase awareness of the negative impacts of transport pollution among politicians, decision makers, practitioners and the public in general thereby leading to behavioural change, is another measure that has proven to be efficient.
