2004 - 2008 Comprehensive Transport Study of Iran in Islamic Republic of Iran
Based on current transport policies and plans of Iran, Enviro Pro developed a detailed environmental assessment process that was integrated into a multi-criteria screening process for transport plans and programs, in the absence of SEA legislation in Iran at that time. The SEA was then used to streamline and prioritize transport programs such as modes of transportation and national transport corridors.
Enviro Pro's role in this project involves the following:
Environmental policy analysis and stakeholders capacity assessment of transportation sector in Iran
Diagnostic study report for environment/transport framework
Short-term policy recommendations to government on environmental issues, related to transportation.
Environmental evaluation of existing and proposed transportation strategies and plans
