Green transport is a category of sustainable transport which uses human power, animal power and renewable energy. Often the definition does not include public transport which relies on non-renewable energy.

Often there can be a sliding scale of green transport depending on the susainabilty of the option. Public transport on traditional petrol buses uses less petrol per passenger then private vehicles so is more green then private vehicles, but is not as green as using a solar powered bus. It can often be useful to talk about moving a community towards the ultimate green mode transport outcomes - instead of declaring that they are there if they cross a particualr sustainability threshold. Walking across sensitive environments can often cause considerable damage and so is not always the greenest option.

Green transportation is for reducing the environmental damage originated in individual's use of cars and light trucks.
