Hallo Jeffrey.
   
  You can take contact with the Urban Transport Research Group in Cape Town.
  They have a program of studies in Urban Transport, You can consult with them about a syllabus too, like Zvi have write you in a anterior mail.
   
  This is the link of the Group:

  If you are interested in more 'text-book' style sources, then depending on how technical your course is, Sustainability and Cities: Overcoming Automobile Dependence by Newman and Kenworthy or The Geography of Urban Transportation, Eds. Hanson and Giuliano might be good general references. Newman & Kenworthy is definitely oriented towards sustainability issues, whereas the Hanson & Giuliano textbook is an excellent overview of the vast topic of 'urban transportation' - the most recent edition includes numerous references to sustainability issues.

Have you worked out a syllabus yet? I would be interested in knowing what you plan to cover.

Cheers,

Zvi

I have been asked to teach a course on "sustainable transport" to second year university students.  Is anyone aware of a decent textbook in this area?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

SUSTRAN-DISCUSS is a forum devoted to discussion of people-centred, equitable and sustainable transport with a focus on developing countries (the 'Global South'). Because of the history of the list, the main focus is on urban transport policy in Asia.
