• The systematic transport governance for climate change- Organically structured from the national plan to the master plan

• Political supporting- Sustainable transport indicator and management (by region)- Negotiated agreements (by company)

• Technological supporting- ICT-based technologies

- 19 -

• Economy vs. Environment- The controversy of different views and values between efficiency and

environment- The possibility that non-flexible and uniform regulations could degrade

public transport quality.

• Korea’s Lessons- Strategically persuading the public to embrace sustainable development plan- Selection of cost-effective policies- Harmony between economic values and environmental values
