Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The lack of institutional capacity and coordination, outdated rules and
regulations, poorly perceived implementation of motorization policy, and
knee-jerk approaches for transportation planning are the challenges to progress
toward sustainable transportation in Lahore, Pakistan. This study evaluates the
current potential of transport departments of Lahore, Pakistan toward a
sustainable urban transportation system. The Benchmarking and Analytical
Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches have been used to analyze both primary data
from the relevant stakeholders through a questionnaire survey and secondary data
obtained from the reports (e.g., Barella et al. [<span class="xref">1</span>]) and official websites. The results show that the qualitative
assessment of transport departments in terms of quantitative data (internal
evaluation factor) is equal to 1.712 on a scale of 4.0, which means that the
current potential of transport departments has not yet grasped even the minimum
requirements of achieving sustainability in urban transportation. To improve the
current potential, suggestions are made to reach the desired state of
sustainability in transportation in terms of improved outcomes and service
delivery.</div></div>
