Sustainable Transport
Sustainable transport minimises the negative environmental and social impacts of travel, whilst maintaining an efficient and effective transport system that supports sustainable economic growth. This includes, for example, reducing transport emissions that contribute to local pollution problems and climate change; and promoting environments that encourage safe and pleasant walking and cycling.
