Integration of Land Use and Transportation

The need to integrate land use and transportation is a key objective in delivering the transportation vision. Integration can contribute to sustainable development in the following ways: • it will reduce the need to travel and will facilitate more sustainable transport choices; • it will promote genuine choice between different modes of transport, allowing each mode to reach its full potential and offering seamless travel across modes; • it will promote more effective government policies on education, health, economic growth, access to employment and targeting social need through better integration with transportation; and • it will contribute to the creation of healthier living environments and the support of healthy lifestyles.
