The latest global developments have highlighted the importance of transport sector in the free trade economy and relation between states and people. After year 1990, Albania emerged from the long period of isolation with the collapse of communist regime which was replaced with democratic system and established the free trade economy. The importance of transport sector increased in the whole country and especially in Shkodra city. In this period most of the investments in the main cities of Albania and in Shkodra were to the construction sector, especially in the construction of road infrastructure. This paper aims to analyze the growth and development of transport sector in the last 28 years focusing on its evolution and the socio-economical and environmental impact in the city of Shkodra. Assesssing the importance and complexity of this topic, this paper first addresses the concepts of sustainable transport and then analyzes its indicators for Shkodra city as a case study, highlighting the dynamics of this sector in line with the main principles and objectives of sustainability. Through the analyze of the main indicators for sustainable transport in the case of Shkodra city we aim to determine whether its transport sector and service is moving toward sustainability or unsustainaibility.
