Through nearly 20 years of continuous exploration and experience, China has established a basic general path toward implementing and developing green sustainable transportation. China has realized that the urban transportation issue not only is limited to solving the problem of urban traffic congestion, but also is an essential element of land resource utilization, of saving energy, and for making improvements to the environment across the entire country. With rapid development and urbanization, and with continually improving standards of living, the number of private motor vehicles is growing rapidly and has huge potential for further growth. Therefore, the transformation of urban transportation development policy is facing stringent challenges. The critical process of changing the mindset of what development entails, the policy of giving priority to developing urban public transportation, of properly regulating and controlling the use of private motor vehicles, and promoting the rational use of different means of transportation is both a vital and a difficult matter. This process requires the government and community to gradually reach a collaborative agreement, take comprehensive measures toward, and work together to drive the implementation of a healthy plan for green sustainable transportation.
