(Virtual) Accessibility Emissions breakdown Emissions from transport grow more than in other sectors: what’s behind and what can be done? Energy Output * Energy intensity GHG intensity Emissions Energy * Total Emissions = Output Volume of transport Demand Management (Virtual) Accessibility Land planning Exploit strengths of each mode Network optimisation Efficient vehicles Switch to cleaner fuels

Which policy instruments? Infrastructure policy: revision of TEN-T with focus on bottlenecks and transmodal platforms  achieve a fully integrated transport system Technology policy: standards and demonstration  develop an alternative fuel policy and mass deploy Intelligent Transport Systems Pricing: internalise externalities  provide correct signals and source of funding for transport Legislation: harmonisation and market opening  improve efficiency through competition Information, training and education  encourage more sustainable behaviour and accompany transport revolution
