The Sustainable Mobility Project (SMP) was established in 2000 by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), to consider how global mobility patterns might evolve in the period to 2030 and beyond, what strategies exist to influence this evolution in ways that might make transport more sustainable, and what is required to enable these strategies to succeed. The project concentrated on mobility issues related to road transportation.
This initial study (Mobility 2001) assesses the worldwide state of mobility and identifies the particular challenges to making mobility more sustainable.
