Challenges to the sustainable development of vehicle transport

The emergence of many urban problems in the field of urban transportation, such as air pollution, increased accidents, and economic losses, reinforces the need to move toward sustainable transportation. In this regard, it is very important to identify and prioritize sustainable transport development policies. In the meantime, creating a change in the type of consumption and changing the behavior of consumers are basic measures that urban managers should perform. Today’s world is the world of cars. We are looking for the highest efficiency with the least activity. In developing countries, the authorities are always looking to change the form and shape of the problem instead of the solution, and this always causes pollution, traffic jams, and more crises in the next decades. As long as we do not want to change anything, the situation is the same. This chapter has been compiled with a descriptive-analytical view and is based on documentary and library information. In this chapter we will challenge the concepts of sustainable development in relation to transportation.
