With the growing trend of incorporating UN (United Nation) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in different fields of research, it has been observed that some SDGs have direct and indirect impacts on the transportation systems engineering and planning of cities. It has been evident in past studies that the transportation sector contributes to more than 70% of carbon dioxide emissions. In the Indian context, since the time of independence, several Five-Year Plans (FYPs) and transport development strategies have incorporated the targets which help in achieving sustainable development, but there has been no direct linkage of such targets with any policy instrument to date. Even though sustainable transportation strategies are mentioned in National Urban Policy Framework (NUPF) 2020 of India, incorporation of SDGs in the document is missing. There is an urgent need to study the impact of transportation on SDGs and their association with policy interventions that can lead to effective implementation of SDGs at all levels of governance. The study majorly deals with identifying UN SDGs and associated targets with direct and indirect relevance to transportation. Several UN SDG targets can be linked to sustainable transport indicators, which can further be incorporated into a policy framework. It is essential to incorporate the SDGs related to transportation in the master plans and comprehensive mobility plans to frame robust and comprehensive policy interventions for sustainable development. This paper identifies suitability of 201 sustainable transportation indicators using SMART criteria framework, reviews the Indian transport policies to understand to what extent the SDGs have been incorporated into their strategies. These indicators can be used in future studies for monitoring progress to achieve SDG targets through a comprehensive sustainable urban transport index and policy framework.
