This report’s analysis shows that consumers should feel confident that driving an electric vehicle yields lower global warming emissions than the average new compact gasoline-powered vehicle
This document is a stepping stone towards achieving the government vision of seeing Putrajaya and Cyberjaya becoming pioneer green townships in Malaysia.
The work described in this report was carried out by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), and has benefited from an extensive consultation with, and reviews from, key experts in transport and climate policy around the world.
The Bus Rapid Transit Planning Guide is the most comprehensive resource for planning a bus rapid transit (BRT) system, beginning with project preparation all the way through to implementation.
Following the success of the smart bike-sharing system in Paris, these systems are rapidly being introduced in European cities for daily mobility. The basic premise of the smart bike-sharing concept is sustainable transportation.
A sustainable economy is sensitive to economic, social and environmental constraints. Sustainability requires more efficient, equitable, and environmentally sensitive transport. This cannot be achieved simply by improving the efficiency of vehicle designs or traffic management. It requires changes in the way we think about transportation, and how we identify and evaluate solutions to transport problems, “paradigm shifts.” This paper discusses these changes and their implications for transportation decision making.
Transport sector policies already contribute to moderating greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles and are increasingly designed to contribute to overall societal targets to mitigate climate change. The Round Table investigated the effectiveness and costs of various mitigation options.
The Electrification Roadmap endeavors to serve a practical function: to provide a public policy guide to transforming the u.s. light-duty ground transportation system from one that is oil-dependent to one powered almost entirely by electricity.
In order to shed light on these challenges, Modernizing Public Transportation: Lessons Learned from Major Bus Improvements in Latin America and Asia, presents a comparative analysis of the performance of 13 modernized bus systems in cities including Bogotá, São Paulo, and Santiago, Jakarta and Beijing.
Most Asian cities have grown more congested, more sprawling, and less livable in recent years; and statistics suggest that this trend will continue. Rather than mitigate the problems, transport policies have often exacerbated them.
