Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of environmental impact preferences of transport using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and the Analytical Network Process (ANP). The authors suggest using these methods within the decision-making process and assessment of transport strategies or projects and their impacts on the environment. There are many various dependencies and links among factors influencing the decision-making process of transport implementation. It is not just environmental impacts that influences acceptance of decision-making, but also other major factors such as time (term), space (territory radius) and means of transport (mode). Finally many expectations of benefits obtained from transport implementation must be included in the decision-making process as well. The paper shows the complicated structure of these processes. The AHP model is used for preference evaluation of environmental impacts without any of the other factors or characteristics of!
transport projects, plans or strategies. The ANP model is more complex and is used for the evaluation including other characteristics of transports projects. The results of both models are compared.
