39th Meeting of APEC EGEE&C Sydney, Australia 28 February 2012 Cooperative Energy Efficiency Design for Sustainability (CEEDS), Phase 3 Energy Efficient Urban Passenger Transportation Laura Van Wie McGrory

CEEDS: Objectives & Process Promote “high-performance” energy efficiency policies in selected sectors in APEC economies Complement “PREE” (single-economy review) Phase 1 – Appliance Efficiency S&L Phase 2 – Building Codes & Labeling Phase 3 – Energy Efficient Urban Passenger Transport Workshop 1: San Francisco, 14-16 Sept. 2011 Workshop 2: Singapore, 17-19 January 2012

Business as Usual Forecast: Unsustainable Transport By 2020: Car ownership triples Road fatalities grow 80% in low/mid-income economies By 2050: CO2 emissions from transport up 300% Significant urban growth, rise in premature deaths from transport (accidents, air pollution) Rising oil prices and supply constraints Climate concerns

Phase 3 CEEDS Participating Economies Viet Nam Thailand Mexico Philippines China Indonesia

Key Issues Discussed at CEEDS 3 Workshops Livable communities and transit oriented development Mass transit as a key component of TOD Vehicle efficiency Decisions made today about urban design will impact our cities’ energy use for decades to come.

Livable Communities and TOD Best practices include: De-emphasize vehicles Charge for vehicles coming into city center Maximize intermodal connectivity of transit hubs Focus on mass transit (e.g., BRT) Incorporate pedestrian and bike networks Highlight co-benefits (e.g., congestion reduction) to ensure widespread support Interagency cooperation is Key

Mass Transit as Key Component of TOD: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Cost effective and quick to deploy Greater service area than rail, for less cost Best practices: Median-aligned bus lanes Dedicated lanes Off-board fare collection wide doors and level boarding Careful intersection design, station placement Safe, weather protected stations Integration with bike paths & bike sharing

Road Vehicle Efficiency Technology New vehicle standards, fuel standards (e.g., Euro 4) Hybrids, EVs Fiscal measures Tax inefficient/subsidize efficient vehicles Phase out motor fuel subsidies Pricing and congestion policies Ownership control: Quota system and fees/taxes User-side measures: Area Licensing Scheme (ALS), Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) Imported vehicles: Tighter emission regulations Consumer information, vehicle labeling

Other Key Recommendations Adopt short/medium/long term goals with measurable targets Measure and report progress toward goals Direct investment flows toward sustainable transport Foster inter-Ministerial collaboration and collaboration between central and local government agencies Raise public awareness
