Abstract
This study compares and contrasts a traditional
view of traffic management with an emerging,
broad interpretation that supports sustainable
development. We then summarise recent
research we undertook to examine the
feasibility of applying sustainable
transportation principles within Vancouver’s
downtown in a comprehensive programme
called area-wide traffic management (AWTM).
AWTM attempts to improve transportation
efficiency by reducing over- reliance upon
motorised vehicles within urban centres.
