Session 2a - Guiding Principles for the Achievement of Sustainable Transport

Abstract of address by Stuart L. Smith

Sustainable Transportation Principles

By means of multi-stakeholder consultation, Canada's National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) will have developed by March 1996 a set of strategic principles with respect to sustainable transportation.

Among other matters, consensus appears to building upon issues related to environmental protection, waste management and lifecycle analysis, energy use, demand management, land use and urban design, as well as methods of accounting, decision making and achieving public accountability.

The strategic principles agreed upon will be presented at the conference so they can be discussed by an expert panel and the conference as a whole.
