What is Sustainable transport Sustainable transport is a phrase which was coined in the late 20th century to describe all forms of transport which minimise emissions of carbon dioxide and pollutants. Sustainable transport can mean public transport, car sharing, walking and cycling as well as technology such as electric and hybrid cars and bio-diesel.
How to Influence Travel Behaviour ‘Smarter Choices’ are techniques for influencing people's travel behaviour towards more sustainable options such as encouraging workplace and individualised travel planning. They also seek to improve public transport and marketing services such as travel awareness campaigns, setting up websites for car share schemes and producing travel option guides.
