There is a wide diversity of problems and experience; no simple solution fits all countries. But there are some generally applicable principles and best practices which can be identified as the basis of a policy for more sustainable transport. The simultaneous achievement of long term economic, environmental and social sustainability is the key to meeting these challenges.
