Land

Transport makes considerable impacts on land:

• Depletion of non-renewable resources including:
  • fossil fuels used in the manufacture and use of transport
  • excavation and mining of aggregates for road foundations
  • iron and steel for bridge building
  • increased exploration and development of new oil field

• Withdrawal of land from other uses to provide the infrastructures
  


• displaces communities and neighbourhoods causing social changes


• contaminates land from oil, diesel and other run-offs from highways
