Securing a sustainable future is one of the most significant challenges facing transportation professionals today. This article addresses what professionals can do to make a positive impact for future generations. Goals for transportation sustainability include reducing vehicle emissions and reducing vehicle miles of travel. Intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies can be used to meet these goals. It is recommended that transportation professions increase the integration of ITS technologies in order to promote sustainability. Systems should be designed for all users and provide modal choices. Transportation professionals should also work with land use planners to create street systems that promote connectivity and reduce encouragement of urban sprawl. The Institute of Transportation Engineers is working on the development of a certification program similar to Leadership in Environmental Excellence in Design that would recognize and promote sustainability for transportation operations.
