Foreword

Well-developed, efficient, clean, safe and secure inland transport systems offer important access to markets, employment, education and basic services that are critical to poverty alleviation. Transportation, and road transport in particular, is simultaneously a major driving force behind a growing global demand for energy, it has a significant environmental footprint, and its impacts on public health are of major concern due to the worldwide death, injury rates and illness resulting from road traffic crashes and air pollution.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Decent Work and Economic Growth
