The management of urban transportation systems represents one of the most formidable challenges for local government that generates several problems related to the wellbeing and the comfort of the public that commute and travel in their daily life. Improvements to various policies and practical measures can move us closer to the ideal of sustainable urban areas with sustainable urban transportation systems.Nevertheless, these aspirations in no way ensure unanimity over the most effective actions to take and the extent of their benefits. In response, a mathematical model has been developed for decision-taking purposes using multi-criteria analysis adapted to urban transportation systems. This model not only takes account of environmental parameters, but also examines economic, social, and urban models, the characteristics and condition of the transport fleet and freight distribution vehicles, in order to generate a sustainability index value for the transportation system of urban areas.

Passenger's transportation in urban areas is an increasing problem in the current society. The expansion of the current roads is not an adequate solution to this problem but the passenger's transportation has to be planned in order to mitigate the negative effects that originates: traffic congestion, accidents, pollution, etc.The promotion of collective public transportation, mobility plans, parking policies, and new mobility alternatives like car sharing are among those tools used in favor of a more sustainable mobility.Through the analysis of a specific experience, the main reflection of this essay is to improve the mobility patterns of the Technical School students of San Sebastian in favor of the most secure, sustainable, fair and efficient ways of transport.
