Sustainable Development and Transport

Transport is one of the crucial factors in the development of individual countries. However, there is a constant contradiction between society, which requires ever higher mobility, and the public opinion, which is less and less tolerant towards the negative impact transport has on the environment and health, chronic delays, and the low quality of some transport services. Considering the fact that transport demands are rising steadily, we should not be restricted only to the construction of new infrastructure and opening markets. It is necessary to optimize the transport system so that it meets the requirements for sustainable development. The modern transport system has to be sustainable, in terms of economy, social, and the environmental aspects.

Keywords: transport, sustainable development, environment, means of transport.
