The Possibilities for Mitigating Negative Effects of Transport

The success of the correct execution of designed measures depends on our succeeding in reducing the negative influences of transport on health and the environment; however, to eliminate these negative effects it is almost always necessary to take more measures. In this case we speak of a set of measures which are inter-connected, and their efficiency is thereby enhanced. As an example, it is possible to mention the increase of the positive influence of a new service of urban public transport on the reduction of car transport, together with the building of an park and ride facilities in a suitable area on the public transport service route. From the design stage of the measures to their implementation it often takes a long time, therefore the complex of the measures should always be designed by a team of experts who are capable of judging the efficiency of various alternatives and subsequently design an optimum solution.

Keywords: transport, mitigation, measures, impact on the environment.
