Sustainable Urban Transport Project Welcomes You

Policy-makers are facing demands to meet the changing mobility needs of citizens in ways which are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.

The Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP)-Asia is a partnership between the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), CITYNET and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) which aims to help developing world cities achieve their sustainable transport goals, through the dissemination of information about international experience and targeted work with particular cities.

Transport and Climate Change: Pathways for Transport in a Post 2012 Process

Transport is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector (13 percent of global GHG emissions) and its importance will increase in the next years. Since 1990 CO2 emissions from transport have been growing instead of declining. Reduction of emissions in developed countries and slow down of rapid motorization in developing countries are necessary to prevent dangerous climate change: Transport must be part of the solution, i.e. any international agreement should recognize the sector, provide more incentives to move to a low carbon transport model and thus help governments move in this direction.

Are Vehicle Travel Reduction Targets Justified?

vmt_red.jpgMr. Todd Litman, Victoria Transport Policy Institute (VTPI), has released a report on Vehicle Travel Reduction Targets. This report investigates whether transportation policies should include targets to reduce vehicle travel and encourage use of alternative modes, called mobility management objectives. Such objectives may be justified on several grounds: they help insure that individual short-term decisions support strategic  goals, they provide numerous benefits, and they help prepare for future travel demands. Many mobility management strategies are market and planning reforms that increase transport system efficiency and equity. Mobility management criticism tends to reflect an older, automobile-oriented planning paradigm which considers a limited range of objectives, impacts and options. More comprehensive analysis tends to favor mobility management. Appropriate mobility management can reduce vehicle travel in ways that minimize costs and maximize benefits to consumers and society.

Is it hard to find information on transport? Did you ever wanted to spread the word about the upcoming workshop/conference that will be of great benefit to the transport community? Considering these issues the transport team at GTZ has compiled a list of Newsletters and Discussion Groups for Researchers, Policy-makers and Planners in the Transport Sector. The 14 page document attempts to list all the well visited transport discussion groups and also sorts these groups into specific areas of focus.

Copenhagen Accord NAMA Submissions: Implications for the Transport Sector

A week after the official deadline for submissions, the Bridging the Gap Initiative has analyzed the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) submissions for the Copenhagen Accord made by developing countries as of February 4th, 2010 (see attachment). 16 out of 25 countries made explicit reference to the transport sector. This shows that transport gains increasingly importance on the agenda of climate change mitigation efforts. The analysis provides a comprehensive overview of NAMAs submitted and classifies them according to transport measures proposed. The results find that submissions vary to a great extent in detail and specification, but the inclusion of transport is already a very positive sign. This can be seen as the will to act and Bridging the Gap will help developing countries in the expansion of further transport NAMAs. The analysis will be updated as more NAMAs will be submitted. Stay tuned!

How to Achieve a Global Low-Carbon Transport System by 2050

A session was held at the 89th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) looking at a study conducted by the Institute for Transportation Policy Studies (ITPS) titled “Transport in a Low Carbon Society”, which takes a back-casting approach to identify pathways to reduce CO2 emissions from the transport sector by 50% compared to the total level of emissions in 2000, and make bold policy recommendations to achieve this goal.
