Three critical factors which affect choice of transportation type are time, distance, and environmental impact. Create a chart to show which is the best choice in the following situations: coal being moved 2000km ; an important parcel going 700km ; cars made in Italy to sell in Canada; students going to school 3 km away.
Railroad cars are the most efficient in moving coal 2,000 km.
The parcel should travel by truck.
Cars made in Italy will travel by ship.
Students could either walk or ride a school bus.
