Our Vision
SLOCAT envisioned fostering inclusive, coordinated, and transformative progress to strengthen transport systems that are socially inclusive, economically viable, environmentally responsible, and resilient.
SLOCAT Vision for Transport Transformations
To achieve this, the following systemic transformations in land transport are needed. They will also leverage wider socio-economic transformations.
We define equitable, healthy, green and resilient transport and mobility systems based on the positive interactions with the UN 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.
One
Transport connects people and prosperous societies, and works for them as a system of multiple modes and services
Two
Cities are compact and managed to maximise access to socio-economic opportunities, health and equity for all.
Three
Rural and interurban mobility services are low in emissions and focus on users’ needs to improve access.
Four
Walking, cycling and public transport get priority.
Five
Well-managed transport demand reduces kilometres and car use.
Six
Electrification drives low carbon land transport and puts the most sustainable modes first.
Seven
Digital technologies increase access and transport efficiency.
Eight
Pricing and fiscal policy guide market forces and, together with finance, channel public and private funds towards the most sustainable transport services.
Nine
Freight systems efficiently combine different low-carbon modes, share capacities and rely on sustainable first and last mile delivery.
Ten
Industry, trade and transport are shaped to support a circular economy, local value creation, and short and resilient logistic chains.
Eleven
Transport systems and services are resilient in extreme weather events and other shocks.
Sustainable Low Carbon Transport
Transport is the lifeline of our communities and economies. Expanding passenger and freight transport services that are efficient, accessible, affordable, safe, sustainable and resilient is among the most impactful steps to enable inclusive communities and shared prosperity for a liveable planet. To get there, changes in the policy, resources, practice, mentalities, and relationships for transport are needed.
SLOCAT works to foster inclusive, coordinated and transformative progress to strengthen transport systems that are socially inclusive, economically viable, environmentally responsible, and resilient.
SLOCAT Theory of Change
A just transition to equitable, healthy, green and resilient transport and mobility systems
The SLOCAT Theory of Change serves as a compass for our work and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
