    This paper is a response by the European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) to the draft OECD report on “Policy Instruments For Achieving Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST)”, and in particular to chapters 4 and 5 of this document. T&E welcomes, and has done so on different other occasions, both the EST process and its highly valuable outcome. This latest report on policy instruments supports many of T&E’s own positions and arguments and represents an excellent scientific reference for environmental NGOs working on sustainable transport.

    T&E welcomes the emphasis the report places on the social, cultural and political dimensions of transport, while still addressing transport economics and transport technology (from a social, cultural and political angle). This approach well illustrates the cultural role of mobility and the meaning that transport has in society.
