Innovation in Transit: Reducing Emissions November 22, 2010 By Michael Replogle, Global Policy Director and Founder Institute for Transportation and Development Policy International Economic Forum of the Americas, Toronto
Growth Choice: High or Low Carbon Footprint? • What growth rate for motor vehicle travel? • How efficient are transportation networks? • What implications for overall long-term building and community energy efficiency?
Avoid-Shift-Improve Large reduction in CO2 from transport possible Large net negative cost per ton of CO2 avoided considering co-benefits
Can we manage, allocate, and price street space to favor a faster, affordable pathway to low-carbon transport?
