Sustainable Transport System is one that:
SOCIAL
SUSTAINABILITY
Allows the basic access needs of individuals
and societies to be met safely and in a
manner consistent with human and
ecosystem health, and with equity within and
between generations
ECONOMIC Is affordable, operates efficiently, offers choice
of transport mode, and supports a vibrant
economy
ENVIRONMENT Limits emissions and waste within the planet’s
ability to absorb them, minimizes consumption
of non-renewable resources, limits
consumption of renewable resources to
sustainable yield level, reuses and recycles its
components, and minimizes the use of land
and the production of noise

Sustainability and Economic growth
As Cities expand resources are placed under pressure
Congestion becomes a major issue
Cities therefore invest in numerous Transport and PT solutions that could
include; Commuter Heavy Rail, Commuter Light Rail, Trams, Ferries, Bus
Rapid Transport, Bus services, Mini-bus services and others.
To ensure economic growth and sustainability these services need to be
delivered as efficiently as possible with a focus on commuter convenience.

Principles guiding Transport Canada’s vision for
sustainable transport are:
Highest practicable safety and security of life and property
Efficient movement of people and goods to support economic
prosperity and a sustainable quality of life
Respect for the environmental legacy of future generations
User pricing that better reflects the full costs of transportation activity
and transportation infrastructure decisions that meet user needs
Reasonable access to the national transportation system by remote
regions
Accessibility in the national network without undue obstacles for
persons with disabilities
Coordinated and harmonized actions across all modes of transport
Partnerships and collaboration among governments and with private
sector for an integrated, coherent transportation policy framework.

Urban Transport
Overview
Transport is the backbone of our economy and society. It enables trade, which is essential
for growth and development. Every day we move ourselves through means of transport, be
it for work or pleasure, or to freight goods between companies, countries and continents.
The challenge is not to curb transportation but make it sustainable.
Sustainability reflects a parallel model, which assumes that each mode can be useful,
and strives to create balanced transport systems that use each mode for what it does
best. Transport progress therefore involves improving all useful modes, not just the
newest mode, as illustrated below. For example in many cities, the most beneficial
strategies may involve improving walking and cycling, more support for public transit, and
restrict automobile travel in congested urban areas. This does not assume that improved
transport necessarily means faster travel or more mileage, improvements may
increase comfort and safety, provide cost savings, or even reduce the total ned for
travel.
Walk Improved walking conditions
Bicycle Improved cycling conditions
Trains/Bus Improved public transit
Automobile Improved automobile travel

Urban Transport and Technology
The arrival of the “information everywhere” world has opened up new opportunities to
make the existing transportation network far more efficient and user friendly. The
Intelligent, Digital and Smart City, all contribute to “information everywhere”.
Coupled with new transportation and information capacity, the changes spurred by
technological change and the innovations it inspires will help preserve freedom of
mobility in the Transport Sector. The mobility field and use of technology will enable
stakeholders to become:
• Massively networked, with ubiquitous connectivity throughout the system;
• User centred, taking into account users’ needs, priorities, data flows, and dynamic
responses to conditions;
• Integrated, so that users can move easily from point A to point B, regardless of mode,
service provider, or time of day; and
• Information, access to real time planning and management information
The next generation integrated or intelligent urban transportation systems will
connect all transportation modes, services and technologies together in innovative ways
that pragmatically address a seemingly intractable problem. This also provides a
seamless transport experience for all commuters.

Monitoring & Evaluation and Impact Evaluation
What is Monitoring & Evaluation and Impact Evaluation
Monitoring
Regular systemic collection and analysis of information to
track progress of program implementation against pre-set
targets and objectives
Did we deliver?
• Clarifies program objectives
• Link activities and resources to objectives
• Translates objectives into performance indicators and sets
targets
• Reports progress to managers and alerts them to
problems
Evaluation
Objective assessment of an ongoing or recently completed
project, program or policy, its design, implementation and
results
What has happened as a result?
• Analyses why intended results were or were not achieved
• Assesses specific casual contributions of activities to
results
• Examines implementation process
• Explores unintended results
• Provides lessons, highlights significant accomplishments,
recommendations for improvement
Impact Assessment
Assesses what has happened as a result of the intervention
and what may have happened without it – from a future point
in time
Have we made a difference and achieved our goal?
• Seeks to capture and isolate the outcomes that are
attributable (or caused by) the program
• Will review all fore-going M&E activities, processes,
reports and analysis
• Provides an in-depth understanding of the various causal
relationships and mechanisms through which they operate

Measurement for Sustainable Transport
TERM Program has developed and monitored 40 indicators under seven headings:
Environmental consequences of transport
Transport Demand and Intensity
Spatial planning and accessibility
Supply of transport infrastructure and services
Transport costs and prices

Sustainability requires more comprehensive and integrated planning, which
accounts for a broad set of economic, social and environmental impacts,
including those that are difficult to measure.
Sustainability tends to support transportation planning and market reforms
that result in more diverse and economically efficient transportation systems,
and more compact land use patterns that reduce automobile dependency.
These reforms help increase economic efficiency, reduce resource
consumption and harmful environmental impacts, and improve mobility for
non-drivers.
