The transport sector plays a crucial and growing role in world energy use and emissions of GHGs. In 2004, transport energy use amounted to 26% of total world energy use and the transport sector was responsible for about 23% of world energy-related GHG emissions (IEA, 2006b).

THE CONTRIBUTION OF TRANSPORT ON GHG EMISSIONS

AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS IN EU



PM10 CONCENTRATION



NO2 CONCENTRATION



About 100 000 deaths a year could be linked to ambient air pollution in cities in the WHO European Region, shortening life expectancy by an average of a year. The number of casualties attributed to air pollution is comparable to the number of fatalities from traffic accidents, and its imprint is observed in all age groups, including children (Valent et al., 2004).

HOW TRAFFIC AFFECTS AIR POLLUTION IN CITIES



There are three primary ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport:

„

AVOID SHIFT IMPROVE

Reduce or avoid travel or

the need to travel

Shift to more Environmentally

friends mode

Improve the energy efficiency of trasport modes and vehicles

HOW TO REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM TRAFFIC?

PARIS AND LONDON

London : charging station •'I want to rapidly accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles and make London the epicentre of electric driving in Europe. Increasing numbers of motorists are opting for cleaner, greener electric transport, delivering a host of benefits to the driver including a 100 per cent Congestion Charge discount.


Paris Autolib Autolib’ is the first public service plan with electric vehicles to be developed in a large

European metropolis.

Vicenza: V.E.LO.CE. (Vicenza Eco-Logistic Center) All goods destined for the zone with limited traffic are sent to the VELOCE Eco-logistical Centre of Vicenza’s historical city centre. The Centre then sees to the delivery and pick-up of goods using only ecologically powered vehicles.

BEST PRACTICES SELECTED: LOGISTIC SYSTEMS









London •Number of vehicles declined by 18%. •Traffic delays cut by 25%. •7-15% decrease of NOx, CO2 and PM10 emissions.



BEST PRACTICES SELECTED: CONGESTION TAX

Effective action on Urban Transport is central to achieving target on GHG reduction and to reduce pollution in cities 1. “Reducing the need to travel”: efficient logistic and trasport systems for people 2. Move of road freight to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport 3. Higher involvement of the small medium european cities throught european projects (i.e the Convenant of Mayors) 4. Strengthen public awareness of sustainable: demonstration project such as European Mobility Week 2012 or Corrente-in-movimento 2012 5. Higher involvement of the local ONG to implement bottom-up approach on mobility plans
