| Abstract | Urban transportation system contributes not only to a city‟s economic growth but also to the resource consumption and pollution. Nowadays, it is underdeveloped and faced serious problems in developing cities. Hence, this research is investigated the awareness in urban transportation sustainability with government, academic and general people sectors In this research, all sectors were more awareness in environment because transport sector is one main contributor of corbon dioxide gases.
