Example of Non-sustainable Current Transportation

Agove is another example of non-sustainable current transportation design.

Walkable, Pedestrian-Friendly Streets

All transportation begins with pedestrians. At some point, we must get out of our cars or other means of transportation and walk from place to place. Unfortunately, not enough attention has been given in the past to the creation of walkable, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. If we want to reduce air pollution and energy usage from transportation, however, we need to reclaim our streets to include a place for pedestrians.

Bicycling

If we want to build more sustainable communities, we need to provide for every form of low-impact transportation, including bicycling.

Solar Cell Car

One emerging method of reducing air pollution and energy usage from transportation are cars powered by solar energy cells.

Mass Transit

Mass transit is another method that we can reduce air pollution and energy usage from transportation. Mass transit includes buses, trains and light-rail mass transit.
