Masdar City bases its transportation strategy on a hierarchy that puts pedestrians first and emphasizes sustainable, public transportation, which is supplemented with clean point-to-point services, and finally adds personal vehicles. As part of that strategy, Masdar City has introduced several technologies that support its mission, both as commercial and pilot projects. The transportation strategy, though, is only part of the overall sustainability story. This starts with neighborhoods that provide all basic services within walking distance. It is more sustainable to walk to the store or café than to use a vehicle. This expands to a higher level of services in specific locations in the city such as schools and hotels that are accessible on bikes or with Masdar City transportation. Building the city in that way enables the transportation strategy to be successful.
