The Environmentally Sustainable Transport project of the OECD aims to provide an understanding of EST, its implications and requirements, and to develop methods and guidelines towards its realisation. The core of the EST approach was to develop long-term scenarios and identify instruments and strategies capable of achieving it by using a backcasting methodology. The EST project attempts to demonstrate what strategies to achieve EST might look like, as well as their economic and social impacts, considering long-term environmental issues. It is an attempt to establish a basis for a diverse range of policy-makers and economic actors to communicate and a framework for government to set goals, objectives, targets or standards and initiate actions.
The Centre for Sustainable Transportation seeks to create a source of reliable information on sustainable transportation, educate and raise awareness, undertake research and provide leadership in strategic directions such as on measures in achieving Canada's Kyoto target in the transportation sector, workforce transition, freight transportation industry, labeling and certification.
The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy promotes environmentally sustainable and equitable transportation policies and projects worldwide.
