Infrastructure is the fundamental facilities that plays an important part in socioeconomic development for modern societies, if such sector is well planned, managed by decision makers in a way that is compatible with the population growth, safety, and national security needs; it will enrich progress, prosperity, awareness, social and economic welfare for any country.Infrastructure is the most important socioeconomic aspect of life, because it can provide materials, products and services that will improve and facilitate living conditions and maintain sustainability at the same time, and in order to study critical infrastructure in general we must think sustainability, otherwise there will be a significant gap. Recently researchers all over the world are paying more and more attention to the critical infrastructure systems the urban infrastructure is considered one of the most important sectors of the economy, which affect all sectors in the communities of both developing and developed countries because it is linked to the civilizational and urban development, meanwhile, choosing the appropriate transportation mode that will provide a good level of service and increase the satisfaction of the potential users is a difficult task. This research paper tries to assess where is Jordan located vs. each Transportation Sustainability dimensions in aspects related to social, economic and environmental dimensions based on (Zietsman et al. 2006) adopted model for Sustainability Transportation infrastructure. Performance measures for each dimensional goal were traced and supported with needed data and statistical findings. The study uses Analytical descriptive style and methodology based on different references and previous studies from secondary data sources to support the case and conclude with recommended actions and future directions to reform the investigated case. Although this is the case for Jordan, it also can be applied to most developed countries, since most of them suffering from significant problems related to infrastructure and public transportation services.
