European Federation for Transport and Environment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) is a European umbrella for non-governmental organisations working in the field of transport and the environment, promoting sustainable transport in Europe; which means an approach to transport that is environmentally responsible, economically sound and socially just.

[edit] History
T&E was created in 1989 with the realisation that many political decisions that influence the environmental damage caused by transport - both positively and negatively - are taken at a European level. These involve getting the prices right, vehicle emission limits, fuel quality standards, taxes, funding of infrastructure, safety requirements, air quality standards, deregulation and liberalization and more.
"Europe" offers a great opportunity to work to higher standards of environmental protection.
