Key systems are illustrated by Case Studies and there is an analysis of cost and environmental benefits.
Creating excellence in highways and transportation
Everyone understands the need for sustainable and integrated transport systems, which are safe and environmentally friendly.
The challenge is to make this vision a reality.
Through the CIHT Partnerships Network, organisations are able to collaborate closely with our work and drive new standards of excellence in transportation infrastructure and services.
