Transforming the way transport projects are built on a global scale, one route at a time.

Who We Are

Sustainable Transport Council (STC) is an independent non-profit public benefit corporation with a vision of transforming the way the world builds transport projects, one route at a time.

We help professionals think beyond business as usual in design and construction to enhance climate security, reduce environmental impacts, reconnect communities, and even save money.

We are best known for our consensus-based, research-backed Greenroads® Rating System and rating program and proudly introduce our Greenrails™ and Greenmodes™ brands.

We offer three programs that support the use of our rating systems around the world to design and build outstanding transport projects: membership, education, and project rating.

Please be patient while we are rebuilding our new site. Some pages still are under construction.

Why Green Transport Matters

Governments spend billions of tax dollars each year building and maintaining transport projects. Business as usual transport infrastructure has led to pollution, noise, sprawl, and ecosystem degradation and unsafe spaces.

Meanwhile, the world is entering a new era where infrastructure demands must adapt to meet the new needs and expectations of current and future generations.

Every dollar your community invests in transport infrastructure is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reimagine your neighborhoods, highways, bridges, rails and trails as environmentally sustainable, safe, and inclusive places.
