Abstract: Vietnam authorities are more and more faced with increasing environmental issues of motorbike boom in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The alarming rise in traffic accidents together with air and noise pollution, the emerging traffic congestion on on-peak hours call for an appropriate transport policy during the next years. Results from a household survey in Hanoi highlights perception by the population of these issues and bring some information on acceptability of policy measures favoring a more sustainable transport system. Differences among socio-economic subgroups and among districts of residence for adopting such measures are analyzed and discussed. A more balanced system transport for Hanoi might be achieved both with disincentives for private motorized modes and a more attractive public transport for work and education trips. Non-motorized transport is not yet completely phased out and it should be favored as a complementary mode in residential districts and for short trips.
