TransportMistra

TransportMistra, funded by Mistra, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research, consists of three sub programs: IMPACT, INFORM and INCLUDE.

IMPACT´s main ambition is to develop models and tools for the support of sustainability oriented decision-making and implementation in the transport sector through the use of a selection of common focal points (CFP). The CFPs will be analyzed through a set of research themes, thereby letting IMPACT draw conclusions about how strategies can be improved to better correspond with intentions of sustainable mobility.

The overall goal of INFORM is to develop strategies which address how current stakeholder discourses on sustainable transport can be realigned to more efficiently promote sustainable transportation solutions. To analyze how consensus can be attained, the focus of the research programme INFORM is on stakeholders´ definitions and applications of sustainable transportation, and the resultant associated goals and practices that such use permits.

INCLUDE contributes to the development and implementation of strategies, methods and tools for achieving an environmentally sustainable transport system that is well integrated with the natural and cultural properties in the environment and allows creating new landscape values that harmonize with national and international environmental quality objectives.
