Sustainable Transportation Planning

The term Sustainable Transportation Planning came into use as a logical resulting from sustainable development, and is used to describe types of transport, and systems of transport planning, which are consistent with extensive concerns of sustainability. This is not just a singled definition of Sustainable Transportation Planning it keeps on varying as per the regions.

Sustainable transport refers to the wide subject of transport that is or approaches being justifiable. Transportation sustainability is generally being measured by transportation system efficiency and productivity as well as the environmental impacts of the system. 

Sustainable transport systems make a progressive impact to the environmental, economic and social sustainability of the societies they assist. Transport systems exist to provide social and economic connections, and people quickly grab the opportunities offered by increased movement. The advantages of increased mobility need to be weighed against the environmental, social and economic costs that transport systems pose.

Sustainability spreads beyond just the functioning efficiency and discharges. A Life-cycle assessment involves production and post-use considerations. A cradle-to-cradle design is more important than a focus on a single factor such as energy efficiency.
