Abstract

The presented study takes in consideration the environmental impacts of transportation, transportation and energy,
transportation and alternative fuels, including the impact of the transportation in the Albanian Economy.The transportation sector is
linked to environmental problems, because the transport activities have resulted in growing levels of motorization and congestion. And
also transportation activities support increasing mobility demands for passengers and freight. This is ranging from urban areas to
international trade. Environmental impact of transportation can fall within three categories: direct impacts, indirect impacts, cumulative
impacts. The environmental impacts of transportation is relate to air quality, water quality, climate change, noise, biodiversity. Energy
and the activities of transport are closely related to each other. Energy consumption has strong modal variations: land transportation,
maritime transportation, air transportation. Fossil energy reserves are exhaustible. In this study are set out possible solutions to
eliminate the negative effects of transport on the environment in Albania.
