Regardless of your occupation, age, or travel habits, it’s safe to say that almost all citizens of our contemporary world have the need to get from Point A to Point B. We’re not going to stop needing to get places anytime soon, so the demand for greener, cleaner transportation is great, but so far there aren’t a myriad of viable sustainable options, especially for longer distance travel. The ever-present issue of transportation shapes cities, infrastructure and home design, uses energy, and moves people. No matter how you look at it, transportation is a hugely important issue, and will play a pivotal role in the future of our society. With that in mind, Inhabitat is excited to launch of its newest weekly column, Transportation Tuesdays…

Every week (STARTING TODAY!) we’ll be bringing you a design, concept, or project that addresses issues of sustainable transportation. We’ll show you the coolest greenest vehicle designs, the best ways to get around while minimizing your carbon footprint, and projects and initiatives from around the world that are helping to make transportation more innovative, efficient and environmentally-friendly.
