Sustainable Transportation includes the development of new methods in transportation. Transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. Transportation has been integral in the evolution of human culture and trade. Vehicle, infrastructure and operations are all part of transportation industry. Transportation infrastructure such as roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines; or terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and seaports, that support more environmental means of transportation and the operations and logistics to implement them, are important to sustainability.
Often there can be a sliding scale of green transport depending on the sustainability of the option. Public transport on traditional diesel buses uses less fuel per passenger than private vehicles so is more green than private vehicles, but is not as green as using a solar powered bus. It can often be useful to talk about moving a community towards the ultimate green mode transport outcomes - instead of declaring that they are there if they cross a particular sustainability threshold. Walking across sensitive environments can often cause considerable damage and so is not always the greenest option. |
