{"pk":3288,"title":"Achieving Sustainable Transportation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Sustainability is a serious concern for future transportation planning, but it should not be regarded as a straightforward problem with a simple but difficult solution. Achieving sustainability is a contextual and multi- dimensional process. Just as transportation pollutes the environment in a variety of ways and over a long period of time, addressing these pollut- ants requires a long-term, incremental, and multi-dimensional strategy to achieve sustainability. Genuine sustainability will likely take generations to achieve, but such a goal is most likely to be achieved through steady, incremental understanding and improvements in environmental impact. Given that sustainability is a long-term agenda, history is a useful and essential guide.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"History"},{"word":"planning"}],"section":"Essays","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fc8c7ht","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jonathan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mason","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-06T03:23:30+01:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-06T03:23:30+01:00","date_published":"2011-12-06T03:23:59+01:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3288/galley/2069/download/"}]}
