Whilst the world economy is developed, the life and development of
human beings have been threatened by the imbalance among environmental and
ecological aspects. Thus sustainability is becoming increasingly the focus of
various social fields. For most developing countries, a strategy with good
sustainability for social development is of long-term significance to keep the
economy in expansion. This paper first reviews the conceptual framework and
up-to-date development of sustainability. Second, it reviews the current transport
situation of China and its future demands. Third, the paper analyses transport policy
from the viewpoints of energy consumption and environment pollution caused by
transportation. It finally summarises suggestions for transport policy that China
should consider in the future
