Social Justice, Senior Mobility, and Sustainable Development in the Transportation Sector
2025
Venezia,Elisabetta
In light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the world's aging population, achieving sustainable mobility for older individuals has emerged as a top policy goal. Even while inclusive mobility is a key component of many national and regional initiatives, there is still a continuous disconnect between these lofty goals and the practical capacity to measure and carry them out. By putting out a scientific framework for assessing the sustainability and equality of transportation systems for senior citizens, this research fills this gap. The paradigm, which is based on social justice and economic rationality, uses specific metrics to evaluate the spatial distribution of mobility resources, service accessibility, and infrastructural adequacy. The study illustrates how inclusive transport plans can increase accessibility, lower dependency costs, and promote active aging by drawing on European experiences, such as integrated mobility services in Nordic nations and accessibility-enhancing initiatives in the Netherlands and Germany. The suggested paradigm gives policymakers an evidence-based instrument for coordinating transportation investments with the SDGs' pledge to "leave no one behind" and facilitates rigorous comparisons across regional contexts. This strategy achieves the goal of sustainable development through transportation policy by combining the social, spatial, and economic aspects of mobility fairness
