            Transport vital for economic development and personal welfare, but…
            •  Difficult to meet growing demand (economic and population growth, 
               rising income) –faster than economies growing
            •  Growing energy consumption and other resources –                  15‐ 20% or 
               more of total import cost
            •  Air pollution, emission of GHGs – growing faster than GDP
            •  Adverse health and social impacts ‐ outdoor air pollution contributed 
               to 712,000 deaths in South Asia (GBD Study)
            •  Road safety – more than 2,800 road deaths in Sri Lanka in 2010 (WHO)
            •  Non‐inclusive development – not all are benefiting
                                Combined cost could be up to 10% of GDP
                                    Cannot do business‐as‐usual
     Sustainable Transport  
                           Concept
     Sustainable Development
     •The development that meets the needs of the present 
     without compromising the ability of future generations to 
     meet their own needs (Brundtland Report)
     •Three pillars: economic, social, and environmental
