ABSTRACT
Transportation is one of the largest contributors to gas emissions, due to the need for transportation in various aspects of life. Efforts are needed to develop environmentally friendly transportation by implementing the green transportation concept. The idea of "green transportation" refers to using transportation while considering its effects on the environment, particularly gas emissions. This study's objective is to evaluate Pekanbaru City, Riau, Indonesia's current state of sustainable transportation. From three primary perspectives - economic, social, and ecological - this study will assess how sustainable transportation is. The exploratory descriptive methodology of this study involves the collection of primary and secondary data. While secondary data came from previously conducted research, government reports, and statistical data that already existed, primary data was gathered through field surveys and the distribution of questionnaires with total 150 respondents. The study's findings indicate that transportation system generally has a less sustainable state. It was discovered that transportation-related gas emissions are still high and have an adverse effect on the environment in the ecological dimension. It was discovered that transportation costs lacked efficiency in the economic realm. Conversely, in the social realm, detrimental effects on nearby communities were discovered, including disparities in access to transportation. The primary finding of this study is that the government and practitioners need to pay more attention to the sustainable aspects of transportation development. The city government may use the findings as a reference when creating more environmentally friendly transportation regulations. This research, which examines ecological, economic, and social aspects, finds areas where improvements can be made to promote transportation sustainability. It is hoped that this will improve the quality of life for the people living in Pekanbaru City, Riau, Indonesia, by lowering noise and air pollution. Due to the fact that this study's restrictions are restricted to the roads in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia, it's possible that the municipal administration of Pekanbaru, Indonesia, will be the only entity to use the study's findings to implement green transportation. To make generalizations about this, more study on the social, economic, and environmental components of each Indonesian region's ecology is necessary.
