SUSTRAN is an information sharing network. It promotes people-centred,
equitable and sustainable transport with a focus on Asia and
the Pacific. SUSTRAN was launched in 1995 and has active participants
in Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Korea,
Japan, Australia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. It also
has partner organisations in North America, Europe, Latin America
and Africa. The Secretariat is hosted by Pelangi, an independent
research institute in Jakarta, Indonesia. The scope of the Network
activities has begun to expand beyond information sharing to
include campaigning and advocacy work, aimed at improving the
transport policies of international institutions and around
the region. SUSTRAN has identified information as one of the
ten steps towards more sustainable and people-centred urban
transport. They argue that communities need information in order
to influence the decisions that are affecting them.
Its web site includes access to SUSTRAN publications and
a list of written resources in related topics. In addition,
SUSTRAN has an electronic newsletter and an electronic discussion
list. These information sources cover sustainable transport
issues with emphasis on urban transport. This web site is
addressed to those interested in raising awareness about sustainable
transport in their countries.
