JMP and SEI research for the Yorkshire and Humber Assembly
3
Research aims to identify practical, deliverable measures within the scope of regional transport policy to significantly reduce levels of carbon dioxide emissions from the transport sector
4
Context for this study
5
Climate Change Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) Fourth Assessment Report
6
Context The earlier YHA report Evaluating the contribution that key regional strategies make towards addressing climate change identifies the contribution of transport to the region’s carbon dioxide emissions 2007
7
Context Transport’s contribution to CO 2 emissions in Yorkshire and the Humber
8
Context – earlier YHA research Modelling of the contribution of transport to a number of hypothetical future scenarios was undertaken, including the Y&H Vision, and a Stabilising Carbon Trends (SCT) scenario
9
Context Transport assumptions in the SCT scenario
10
Our research and the modelling using REAP
11
The task on transport
12
How did we do this?
13
Modelling using REAP
14
In short REAP modelling can provide an indicative view of carbon dioxide emissions under a range of policy scenarios.
15
Modelling in this research
16
Developing Scenarios
17
Business as usual scenario Essentially a baseline position based on continuing delivery of LTP and other existing programmes of transport policy interventions.
18
Do-something scenarios Packages of practical measures that help to achieve increased vehicle occupancy and reduced travel distances, especially by the car This involves the modelling of far reaching programmes of practical transport investment and interventions in the period from 2011, way beyond the scale of current practice in the region
19
Practical transport interventions
20
Interventions used in the modelling
21
Far reaching packages Applied at practical levels to account for regional differences Up to 16 different interventions modelled in each future scenario Modelled effects of the combination of these interventions
22
Interventions used in the modelling Personalised journey planning Regional smartcard Light rail extensions Bus priority measures Rail electrification Workplace travel plans Home working or teleworking Travel awareness and education campaigns Grocery home shopping
23
Interventions used in the modelling School travel plans Car clubs Car sharing HOV lanes Mileage based road user charging Congestion charging in urban areas Car free zones A radical approach to land use planning at new developments
24
Results of the modelling
25
Business as Usual Land transport only
26
Business as Usual Including aviation
27
Step change scenario Land transport only
28
Step change scenario Including aviation
29
Accelerated scenario Land transport only
30
Accelerated scenario Including aviation
31
Comparison of scenarios Including aviation
32
Key Conclusions
34
Where do we go from here?
