Abstract
The transportation sector has emerged as a significant contributor to global energy consumption, leading to a disparity between the rates of resource formation and extraction. Consequently, sustainability targets have been established in numerous countries; however, only a limited number of them have made substantial progress toward achieving these objectives. This paper will investigate how sustainable promotion could simultaneously improve social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Socially, it emphasizes that social equity can be advanced by upgrading the accessibility of vulnerable groups of people through service adjustment and subsidy provision of public transport. Environmentally, carbon emission mitigation is considered the primary priority of transportation, so low-carbon infrastructure and electric vehicles are applied in urban. Economically, public transport allows shorter commutation time for workers, and also provides employment opportunities for the unemployed group, shortening the gap of economic inequality. Those sustainable transportation strategies improve sustainability in various fields, efforts from social, environmental and economic measurement also return positive, eco-friendly and equitable impacts toward development, leading to a virtuous circulation in urban areas.
