Sustainability Literacy: Mobility and Transport

A guide to help UL students and researchers develop critical thinking skills and identify scholarly resources in specific areas of sustainability

Introduction to Mobility and Transport

The mobility of people and the transport of goods are essential components of our modern society, with significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. Mobility and transport research can involve the study of the systems and policies that facilitate the movement of people and goods, as well as the behaviors and attitudes of individuals and communities towards transportation. Across several disciplines, including engineering, urban planning, economics, psychology, and geography, students may have the opportunity to explore topics such as sustainable transportation, traffic safety, urban mobility, and transportation policy and can contribute to creating more efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation systems for the future.
