Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, it has been proposed that a multimodal trip planner should be used to promote appropriate (i.e. environmentally friendly) transport-related behaviours reflected in the choice of travelling modes and routes which enable reduction of negative environmental effects of transport. The trip planner discussed in the paper is an outcome of works conducted under the international Green Travelling project implemented within the framework of the ERANET Transport III programme. The paper also provides an example of the GT Planner application which enabled comparing different routes in the aspect of time, distance and two environment-related parameters for three travelling modes (passenger car, public transport and the Park&Ride system). The testing ground used in the research was the area of Biscay (Basque Country, Spain).
