Sustainable transportation solutions meet current transportation needs without compromising the transportation needs of future generations.
Sustainable transportation solutions protect and enhance the natural environment by reducing vehicle-miles of travel, fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gases and other emissions, and, thus, one’s carbon footprint.
Multi-modal transportation integrated with compact, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development is sustainable since it consumes less land and reduces auto-dependence, peak hour vehicle-trips (and, hence, congestion), and vehicle miles of travel (VMT). Compact, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development reduces driving by 20 to 40 percent or more.
