Sustainable transport — with its objectives of universal
access, enhanced safety, reduced environmental and climate impact, improved
resilience, and greater efficiency — is central to sustainable development. Apart from providing services and infrastructure for the
mobility of people and goods, sustainable transport is a cross-cutting
accelerator, that can fast-track progress towards other crucial goals, such as
eradicating poverty in all its dimensions, reducing inequality, empowering
women, and combatting climate change.
