The road forward: Cost-effective policy measures to decrease emissions from passenger land transport

This book is a resource for that perennial challenge of all urban policy: implementation. The policies in this case are those aimed at reducing passenger transport emissions on land, and especially (but not exclusively) in urban areas.
The reduction of transport emissions has become a key priority for many cities and towns, particularly as we seek effective action to mitigate the disastrous effects of global climate change. Transport emissions reductions are also essential to improve air and water quality, to promote human health and wellbeing, to support urban liveability and quality of life, and even to enhance economic performance and competitiveness.
