ABSTRACT
Starting from the two last decades of the last century, the development of transport is tending
more and more towards the contradiction that brings increasing demand for transport and
environmental pollution. The blocking of roads by their vehicles overcrowding, especially
private cars, has become a common phenomenon. The transport development trends in
condition of the free market competition are showing irrevocably, that the roads will continue
to increase their share of passenger and freight transport in the coming decades. As a result of
this expectations investment in the roads are expected to increase further. The question arises.
Can investment in roads solve the contradiction between transport development and
environmental pollution? The example of Albania, especially the social economic development
of Tirana - Durres axis shows that investment and supporting policies only on roads are not
the right solutions to the problem. Unfortunately, though these big investments, social costs of
transport in this area are growing steadily. It is necessary to understand that the support of the
policy of investment in integrated transport is the only way to reduce social costs and ensure a
sustainable development of public policies in the transport sector.
Keywords: integrated transport, sustainable development, public.
