Abstract

In this study we developed a Sustainable Transport index (IST) to evaluate the impact of public policies on the sustainability of a transport system for different regions of a country. We focused on the energy transition policy via vehicular fleet electrification by analyzing the IST levels and their evolution in a country. The IST index was obtained from 89 sustainable transportation indicators representing the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability.
