Highway and Transportation Implications on Environmental Sustainability: Urban Planning, Construction, and Operation Counter Measures
This paper addresses the alarming consequences of high emission rates of greenhouse gases and the significant transportation contribution. It outlines pavement construction impacts on the urban setting and environment. Urban planning options to reduce congestion are explored, including more reliance on public transportation to make it more affordable and attractive for commuters. Furthermore, encouraging environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as walking and bicycling, is essential. Finally, including carbon tax to encourage the transportation sector to promote green technology and lowcarbon footprint products is another viable consideration.
