Galen's homework

Means of transport policy is often divided into the following categories:
‘Infrastructure measures;
Management measures;
Information measures;
Pricing;
Land-use. ‘(Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT), 1995)
Their impact on the environment has also taken a lot of ways. Infrastructure might be in order to reduce congestion and pollution, by providing more road space, or encourage the use of alternative modes of transport. Management measures may be intended to affect the use of technology, for example, through the introduction of more stringent emission standards, or a controlled manner, the use of the technology, such as traffic management measures, or to improve the integration of public transport. Information on the scope of trying to encourage more economical driving style, it is in order to promote public transport. The more consistent pricing is including fees of the true cost of alternative transport modes and measures to encourage the use of cleaner vehicles or fuels. Land use planning aimed at separation of pollution may be to their homes and employment opportunities, reducing the demand for travel, or to promote the use of public transport, walking or riding a bicycle. (Chris, N. 2000).On the other hand, appropriate policies were considered to be the transport demand in the forecast, the construction of new facilities. Therefore, we have shifted to a complex case, must fully take into account the environmental impact, however, measures to develop an integrated transport policy. (Chris, N. 2000).
