Climate Change Impacts at 2 to 3°C (450 - 550ppm CO2e)
> 35% of species extinct (corals, polar bears…)
Amazon rainforest & Great Lakes ecosystem
collapse
100s of millions displaced from coastal areas, at
risk of hunger
Partial deglaciation of Greenland Ice Sheet could
begin: sea level to increase 4-6 meters over
centuries to millennia

Eye on the Prize: US must cut GHGs60-80% below 1990 levels by 2050
15-30% below 1990 by 2020 to keep on track» European Commission; Höhne; Meinshausen
Delayed action means higher risks and costs» unless you‟re very optimistic about technology, policy
or behavioral breakthroughs.
What‟s “needed” from transportation depends on what‟s expected/possible in other sectors» Unlikely to be able to compensate for transportation
Major reductions will be needed in all sectors

Growing Cooler: The Evidence on Smart Growth and Climate Change (ULI, Sept 07)
Ewing, Bartholomew, Winkelman, Walters & Chen
Comprehensive review of 4 literatures plus new analysis» Aggregate and disaggregate travel studies
» Regional and project-level simulation studies
» Addresses induced demand/development and self-selection
Compact development can cut VMT/capita 20-50% relative to trend by 2050
Potential 16% reduction in passenger vehicle CO2 by 2050 from land use
» 1/3 (reduction in VMT per capita with compact development)
» 2/3 (increment of new development/redevelopment)
» 4/5 (proportion of weighted VMT within urban areas)
» 9/10 (ratio of CO2 to VMT reduction)
Funded by US EPA & the Hewlett Foundation

Transit, Pricing, Smart Growth, etc. could cut VMT 23% by 2030 (NRDC/Cowart)
Widespread implementation of best practices:
1. Pay-as-you-drive 368 B VMT
2. Smart Growth, NMT 298 B VMT
3. Speed limits & Drivers Training 73 B VMT
4. Road pricing 65 B VMT
5. Parking measures 58 B VMT
6. Other TDM (HOV, telecommute) 58 B VMT
7. Transit 49 B VMT

The Public Wants It.The Market is Starting to Respond.
Public opinion (NAR/SGA 2004 survey)
» 48% would opt for smaller houses w/shorter commute
Demographic Changes» Fastest growing groups -- older, non-family, non-white
households -- have historically used transit more (CTOD)
Condos» Record sales, more than 12% of the market
Forecasts» Demand for large lots projected to decline (Nelson)
» Demand for TOD will more than double by 2030 (CTOD)
AASHTO: goal cut VMT growth rate in half

The Future Ain’t Here Yet
“Nearly half of what will be the built environment
in 2030 doesn’t even exist yet, giving the
current generation a vital opportunity to reshape
future development.”
Arthur C. Nelson, “Planning for a New Era,” Journal of
the American Planning Association, Fall 2006.
Can we Build it?

State Efforts on Smart Growth & Climate
California» Climate Action Team established a smart growth working
group, chaired by CEC
» Atty General: General Plans and EIRs should disclose and reduce GHG emissions under CEQA
» SB375: incentives for smart growth planning
» Leverage $40 billion in infrastructure bonds
MA: Large projects must report and mitigate CO2 emissions
NYSDOT: MPOs report GHGs from TIPs and plans
NYC: Congestion pricing. Reduce GHGs 30% by 2030, 44% from smart growth & sustainable transport
NJ DOT: integrating land use into transp planning

Recipe for Success on VMT?
Green-TEA» Performance criteria to reward low VMT in funding formulae
» Planning support (visioning, data, models)
Regulatory approaches» Require alternative analyses in regional transportation plans
» GHG Conformity?
Climate Policy» Fuel price signal via a carbon tax or an „upstream‟ cap-and-trade
» Use revenues to support smart growth, transit, TDM
Elect regional and local leaders with the guts, wisdom and vision to overcome „NIMTO‟ and launch long-term policy solutions
