SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION PANEL-SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

This summary describes the findings of an international scanning review undertaken to examine how other developed countries are addressing sustainable transportation issues. In the United States, the transportation community has an increasing interest in sustainable transportation and its linkages to land use and urban development patterns, economic growth, environmental impacts, and social equity. In addressing this interest, many US agencies are re-examining their policies, planning approaches, and evaluation methods and are considering changes to every aspect of practice, from the materials and designs used in construction to the kinds of alternatives considered for implementation. Federal, state and local agencies as well as private organizations are working to translate the broad goals of sustainability into specific transportation policies, objectives, and programs.
