Abstract English

There is a great reliance on sustainable transport assessment toolsimodels in order to monitor the implementation of sustainability in the transport arena. These assessment modeb are varying in nature, type, and context. The selection of an appropriate assessment model within different contexts is a chalbngeable task not only due to the vast number of available models, but also because of the numerous attributes of sustainable transport and the different relative importance that each attribute possesses from a user perspective. These attributes have different influences on the way sustainable transport could be monitored and achieved. Accordingly, this study aims to measure user preferences towards sustainable transport indicators in Assiut City, Egypt as an attempt to promote sustainable transport solution within the Egyptian context. The study utilizes the Analytical Hierarchy Process [AHP] model, and draws upon the data of 144 participants. The results of the study indicate that users allocated higher importance to attributes related to public transit and active travel modes. These resuits give clear indication directed at both policy makers and local authorities in the planning process of new communities in Egypt. In addition, it prioritise the required interventions that are required if we are to promote sustainable solutions in the transport and the urban contexts
