1. 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

2. 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, Sept. 2011
Workshop 2: Singapore, January 2012

3. 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

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

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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
