About us

Transport Today and Tomorrow was founded in 1998, in order to promote the development of a transportation system based on the principles of Sustainable Transportation. Our vision is based on the following principles for developing transportation system:
• Providing all individuals with an equal and optimal accessibility to attain social, cultural and financial activities, based on the principle of social justice.
• Reducing negative effects over the population and the natural environment, while strengthening cities and protecting natural open spaces.
• Absolute intolerance to traffic accidents and their high cost for society
• Balancing between social justice, urban development, accessibility needs, environmental protection and economic rationality.
