Sustainable Development
“Development that meetsthe needs of the presentwithout compromisingthe ability of futuregenerations to meettheir own needs”
(Brundtland, 1987)

Sustainable Transport
• ‘Allows the basic access and development needs of individuals, companies and society to be met safely and in a manner consistent with human and ecosystem health, and promotes equity within and between successive generations;
• Is affordable, operates fairly and efficiently, offers a choice of transport mode, and supports a competitive economy, as well as balanced regional development;
• Limits emissions and waste within the planet’s ability to absorb them, uses renewable resources at or below theirrates of generation, and uses non-renewable resources at or below the rates of development of renewable substitutes, while minimising the impact on the use of land and the generation of noise’.
(European Union Council of Ministers of Transport)

Sustainable Transport
European policy highlights:
• Risk of congestion on the majorarteries and regional imbalance
• Conditions for shifting the balancebetween modes
• Priority to be given to clearingbottlenecks.
• New place given to users,at the heart of transport policy.
• Need to manage the effectsof transport globalisation
