Advantage Of Sustainable Transport.

Sustainable transport improves our quality of life by:

• reducing congestion
• reducing traffic noise
• improving air quality
• humanising streets
• creating spaces for social interaction
• improving accessibility for all.

Sustainable transport improves our health and wellbeing by:

• reducing road traffic injuries through less (and slower) road traffic
• improving physical and mental health through increased walking and cycling
• increasing active play through safer streets and public spaces
• reducing respiratory diseases through reduced air pollution.

Sustainable Transport

Sustainable Transport is a term used for various modes of transport that assist in meeting our mobility needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Sustainable Transport is accessible to the community, offers a choice of transport modes, balances the need to travel with the need to improve the quality of life, and reduces impacts on public health and the environment by minimising fuel consumption, reducing air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions (ghg).

Sustainable Transport includes:

• Car Sharing
• Electric or Hybrid Vehicles
• Cycling
• Car pooling
• Walking

what is sustainable transport?

Car usage is a big contributor to climate change due to the emissions given off by traditional fuels. Whilst there are now many fuel alternatives available, sustainable transport is a term used to describe transport which has little or no environmental impact. To class as sustainable transport it must be possible to create the resources needed to create and fuel the mode of transport and to be able to absorb the waste from its creation and use.

Truly sustainable transport basically comes down to cycling and, in particular, walking as these require very little of the earth’s resources. There are a number of initiatives in place to encourage these activities as ways of helping to sustain the planet as well as contributing to a healthy lifestyle. A quarter of all car journeys are less than two miles long so it is not unrealistic to significantly increase the number of journeys people make by foot or cycle. Currently, for example, only about 2% of children ride their bike to school but 33% would like to do so.
