Sustainable Sites

Avoid open or green space

Optimizing benefits between competing constraints

Increasing transportation efficiencies

Clear zones seeded with mixtures that reduce maintenance needs

Establish buffers to natural resources

Avoiding or enhancing rare biotic communities

Providing new recreational or informational access (kiosks, maps,

parking or water access)

Building upon Green Infrastructure

Replanting at greater rates than removal

Living snow fencing

Regionally available materials to limit transportation cost and

environmental

impact

Lifetime minimization of hazardous material use, emissions, released

from

abrasion (VOCs, HAPs, GHGs, Pb, etc)

Utilize biotechnical engineering techniques including vegetated

matting, targeted biological controls

Removal of contaminated soils beyond what is necessary for the

project

GOVT. EFFORTS

Finalised and issued the National Urban Transport

Policy (NUTP) in 2006

Initiated demonstration projects with Global

Environment Facility (GEF)Strengthening the institutional set up

Initiating an ambitious capacity building programme

Support to improve both road and rail based mass

rapid transit (MRT) facilitiesMaking emission norms increasingly stringent and

improving quality of fuels

Conclusion

Sustainable transport systems are the future

transportation in India. Even in the past many

developed nations like Germany , U.S.A and most

the western world tried this system and failed.So India should learn from there mistakes and

promote sustainable transport system aggressively.
