Abstract:

It is increasingly clear that current transport systems are not environmentally, and, consequently, not socially or economically, sustainable over the long term. A new policy approach is needed that gives prominence to environmental criteria along with other policy goals. Recognizing this need, the OECD Environmental Policy Committee's Task Force on Transport (now the Working Group on Transport) initiated the EST project in 1995 to give some precision to the concept through the use of quantifiable criteria that have environmental significance. As part of the project, workshop was held on the economic and social implications of sustainable transportation at the Government Centre in Ottawa, Canada on the 20th and 21st October 1998. The main purpose of the workshop was to review and contribute to work in progress rather than to resolve substantive issues about sustainable transportation or to seek solutions to pressing global problems; it was very much a workshop rather than a forum for the presentation of results. Workshop papers, figures, tables, 153 p.
