Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The transportation sector is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions amounting to approximately 12 billion metric tons, and therefore many countries are seeking to rely on sustainable technologies and behaviors in the transportation sector.
The concept of “sustainable transport” or “green transport” refers to the use of low-emission means of transport, aimed at providing services and infrastructure for the movement of people and goods.
Thus it plays an essential role in promoting economic and social development. Thanks to transportation infrastructure, people are connected to jobs, education and healthcare, as well as its key role in enabling and promoting global trade.
The importance of sustainable transportation is highlighted in developing countries that suffer from a large proliferation of vehicles, which often leads to traffic congestion and difficulties in finding parking, whether in large or medium cities. As a result, sustainable transportation offers a range of solutions and means to move away from traditional, environmentally polluting means of transportation.
Sustainable transportation systems focus on providing safe, low-cost routes, and seek to reduce polluting emissions and waste. This is done by enhancing the use of public transportation, encouraging the use of electric or low-emission vehicles, improving fuel efficiency and developing urban planning to reduce travel distances.
