Community Transport: Today
In this activity, students are asked to think about current methods of community transport and the associated pros and cons. Their ideas are then used to compile a class list of criteria that future methods of community transport should fulfill. For example, sustainability (materials used to make the transport, the infrastructure needed as well as the fuel used), low pollution, use of renewables, low energy consumption (high energy efficiency), cheap, fast, good networks and frequent service.
Students can then watch the film 'Intelligent transport systems' which looks at how technology is used to keep traffic flowing.
Other lessons and resources for this theme can be found in the Energy and Transport collection.
