4. Framework for transport emissions Transport emissions per mode = Number of vehicles x Distance travelled x Emissions per vehicle distance travelled Mode share (behaviour) Land-use (urban form) Fuel efficiency (technology)  Land-use  Zoning  Route structure  Vehicle mgmt.  Fuel type  Propulsion system  Maintenance  Driver behaviour  Dedicated lanes  Dwell times  Affordability  Comfort  Convenience  Load factor  Safety  Security  Travel time

5. Mode share versus technology The impact of gaining one more bus load of passengers Assumptions: 120 passenger bus at 50% occupancy 5 people switching from autos, 35 switching from other motorised vehicles, and 15 switching from non-motorised transport Source: International Energy Agency, 2002 Bus equivalents

6. Conclusions of mode share vs. technology “Regardless of whether a bus is ‘clean’ or ‘dirty’, if it is reasonably full it can displace anywhere from 5 to 50 other motorised vehicles...” “Certainly, a cleaner bus will yield lower emissions, but in this scenario the emission reductions from technology choice are overshadowed by reductions from mode switching (and the resulting ‘subtraction’ of other vehicles)...Dramatic reductions in road space, fuel use, and most emissions can be achieved through displacing other vehicles with any bus, even the ‘Euro 0’ buses typically sold in the developing world.” Source: IEA, 2002

7. Bus rapid transit (BRT) Bus Rapid Transit € 0.3 - 10 million / km Bus Rapid Transit is a mass transit system that mimics the rapidity and performance of metros but utilises buses rather than rail vehicles. Bogotá’s “TransMilenio” BRT system By 2015, TransMilenio will serve 5 million passengers per day over 388 kilometers of busways.

9. TransMilenio greenhouse gas reductions Avoiding the “leakage” of older vehicles by scrapping 7.0 to 8.9 older buses for every new articulated bus introduced  20% of TransMilenio users formerly drove private vehicles  Estimated greenhouse reductions for first 30 years of operation: 15 - 25 million metric tons of CO 2 -equivalents

15. The path to sustainable transport 1. To date, the transport sector has played a surprisingly small role in mitigation efforts under the UNFCCC mechanisms. 2. The current focus on fuel switching has meant that transport measures are generally not cost competitive or realizable in the short term (e.g., fuel cells). 3. However, shifting mode share from private motorised vehicles to public transport and non-motorised transport can enable the transport sector to compete in mitigation efforts.
