Youth for Contemporary Sustainable Transport Solutions: Insights from a Survey of Engineering Students

Abstract

The adoption of innovative transport solutions is a challenge and to great extent relies on the attitudes and perception of user on prospects of new technologies where new services based on sharing economy stand out. Results show dissatisfaction with current infrastructure supporting sustainable transport and low satisfaction with bicycle and pedestrian paths. However, students believe technology can greatly enhance urban transportation efficiency. This study highlights the importance of researching students’ attitudes and provides a foundation for increasing their engagement in the development of sustainable transport solutions.
