| description |
In its crucial role, transport fosters
development as it connects people to goods, services,
social, and economic opportunities. But today’s data shows
social exclusion linked to accessibility gaps in transport
services—in rural areas, women, and the elderly—, high costs
tosociety from poorly integrated transport systems, road
fatalities, traffic congestion, air pollution, and
environmental degradation. The question for global and
country transportdecision-makers is how to meet the mobility
needs of people and goods now, while preserving
futuregenerations? The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
identify an important and rich array of characteristics that
define a sustainable world. Those characteristics, along
with those identified in the economic literature, can be
used to frame“sustainable mobility” around four global
goals, which should address more than access. Formobility to
be sustainable, it should have four attributes—equitable,
efficient, safe, and green. In this way, mobility can
benefit both present and future generations. |
