Urban transport and energy efficiency

Module 5h - Sustainable Transport: A sourcebook for policy-makers in developing countries
SUTP
January 2012

Considering the challenges of limited oil resources, increasing energy prices, climate change, environmental pollution and health risks, it is essential to establish an efficient transport system that meets demand, but consumes as little energy as possible. The SUTP Sourcebook Module 5h titled "Urban Transport and Energy Efficiency" serves as a navigator for decision makers and stakeholders, including local and national authorities, the private sector and non-governmental organisations. It provides a comprehensive overview of measures and policies designed to promote greater energy efficiency in transport, and assigns specific tasks and responsibilities to particular parties. Case studies illustrate international experiences in implementing measures to increase energy efficiency in transport.

Transformando la movilidad urbana en México

ITDP
Marzo 2012

Las políticas de transporte pueden tener un impacto significativo en el desarrollo económico del país y por ende en la calidad de vida de los mexicanos. El transporte es crítico para las actividades económicas (transporte de bienes y mercancías, transporte al trabajo, transporte de turistas, compras, entre otros), por lo que sistemas de transporte eficientes impulsan el desarrollo económico y social de México. De igual modo, si son eficientes, reducen las exter- nalidades o costos negativos generados a la sociedad por el automóvil, como: pérdidas económicas por congestión, costos de salud, accidentes y daños ambientales, entre otros.
