| Abstract | The chapter examines the need for environmentally friendly transportation options that limit negative effects on the environment, emphasizing developments in public transportation, electric vehicles (EVs), alternative fuels, and creative mobility ideas. It offers a thorough examination of the benefits and drawbacks of environmentally friendly transportation options, emphasizing the productivity increases of well-thought-out public transportation networks and the revolutionary advancements made possible by electric cars that run on rechargeable batteries. But there are obstacles in the way of sustainable transportation, such the need for behavioral changes, budgetary constraints, and limited infrastructure. The chapter breaks down these difficulties, illuminating the nuances that require consideration from stakeholders, politicians, and scholars alike. Building and sustaining broad public transit networks, EV charging infrastructure, and alternative fuel production facilities require deliberate investment and cooperation, which makes infrastructure development a crucial cornerstone. Cost is a significant obstacle, especially as the initial expenses of alternative fuel and electric cars are higher than those of their conventional equivalents. The chapter promotes financial gap-bridging government incentives and research funding to make sustainable transportation solutions available to a wider range of people. Advances in technology, from battery science to self-driving car capabilities, are what propel the development of environmentally friendly transportation. The chapter emphasizes the necessity of ongoing research and development projects to improve these technologies’ cost, range, and efficiency. Changes in behavior provide a special issue that calls for successful public awareness campaigns and governmental initiatives. The chapter looks at the ways that activism, education, and innovative legislation might help to bring about this cultural change. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025. |
