Transport and sustainability: The social pillar
Sustainable transport systems enhance social inclusion, reduce environmental problems and help create a more efficient economy; raising quality of life.

But transport’s social problems are often unclear, and the social/psychological factors supporting transport patterns are often forgotten.
