APPEL À CONTRIBUTION Mercredi 29 février 2012 Les conditions de production d'un transport durable : nouvelles interventions publiques, nouveaux référentiels ? The conditions for producing sustainable transport: new public interventions, and new referentials Publié le lundi 16 janvier 2012 par Loïc Le Pape RÉSUMÉ La revue « Développement durable et territoires » lance un appel à contributions qui pose la question des conditions de production d'un transport durable. De nouvelles options d'interventions publiques ou de nouveaux référentiels pourront alors être discutés. Les propositions de résumé, attendues pour le 29 février 2012, devront s'inscrire dans une des 3 directions suivantes : - comment analyser les déterminants de la demande de transport pour différencier les leviers d'interventions publiques ? - comment mieux intégrer la dimension servicielle du système de transport ? - comment renouveler les conditions de production des politiques publiques de transport ? ANNONCE Appel à contributions pour la revue Développement durable et territoires : Les conditions de production d'un transport durable : nouvelles interventions publiques, nouveaux référentiels ? Corinne Blanquart, Frédéric Héran, Thomas Zéroual Argumentaire  La nécessité de modifier ou de compléter l'action publique en matière de transport apparaît dans les discours à différentes échelles, notamment au regard des problèmes environnemen­taux. Selon la Commission Européenne, en effet, la réalisation d'une poli­tique durable des transports passe par « l'adoption d'une panoplie plus vaste, et plus souple d'instruments d'ac­tion » (CCE, 2006). Toutefois, cette diversification souhaitée est peu effective, et les change­ments dans les interventions publiques demeurent limités. Pourtant, les résultats médiocres des politiques conduites plaident en faveur d'une évolution plus marquée. Ainsi, en 2009, une Communication de

Urban transport in the developing world: perspectives from the first decade of the new millenium Harry T. Dimitriou, Ralph Gakenheimer 0 Resenhas Edward Elgar Publishing, 30/03/2011 - 631 páginas The twenty thematic chapters in this book provide a broad set of perspectives on the plight, possibilities and opportunities of urban transport in the developing world, set against the challenges of sustainable development. The contributors expertly set the international context of transport policy-making and planning for developing cities and present a critical review of recent developments that have taken place and which offer lessons for the future. The special features that distinguish this book are: its multiple institutional perspectives on transport in the urban development of developing cities: its efforts to link sustainability with urban transport and other development concerns; and its understanding of the consequences of globalism in choices and obligations for urban transport. This Handbook will prove invaluable for professional practitioners and academics engaged in and concerned with the future of movement in cities of the developing world. It will also be of interest to students of urban transport and city planning, particularly those from developing countries. Politicians, policy-makers and international development agencies and investors, as well as those working for international non-government organizations wishing to familiarize themselves with the mounting transportation challenges of developing cities, will also find this book a source of inspiration. « Menos    Ver uma prévia deste livro » O que estão dizendo - Escrever uma resenha Não encontramos nenhuma resenha nos lugares comuns.

Concurrently, the need to manage environmental impacts effectively will increase. How successful we are in coping with demand will depend on our ability to innovate, to manage congestion, and to improve the quality of transport services. Technological and regulatory innovation will shape the future of transport. These conference proceedings bring together ideas from leading transport researchers from around the world related to the future for interurban passenger transport..  A first set of papers investigates what drives demand for interurban passenger transport and infers how it may evolve in the future.  The remaining papers investigate transport policy issues that emerge as key challenges: when to invest in high-speed rail, how to regulate to ensure efficient operation, how to assign infrastructure to different types of users, and how to control transport's environmental footprint by managing modal split and improving modal performance.

It shows that in large and small "rural cores" of 2,500 to 50,000 residents, the share of total trips made on foot or by bike is only 20 percent below the rate for larger urban cores. Furthermore, when it comes to work trips, rural areas fall right in line with the national rates of biking and walking to work.

Councils responding to the survey spent more than $72 million on bicycle-related programs in 2009-10. More than two thirds of responding councils either have a bicycle strategy or are working towards one. As at June 2010, councils responding to the survey reported having constructed 11,704km of cycling infrastructure. When their cycle networks are complete the infrastructure will measure 17,842km.

EMBARQ Network Launches New Association to Advance Public Transport in Latin American Cities Published on Apr 5 2010 Curitiba's public transport system has become a model for other Latin American cities. Photo by Mariana Gil/CTS-Brasil. CURITIBA, Brazil, March 29, 2010 - Top executives from Latin America's most influential transit agencies will gather next month to launch the Latin American Association for Bus Rapid Transit and Integrated Transport Systems--a member-driven organization that seeks to advance urban public transport and improve quality of life in the region's biggest cities. EMBARQ - The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport, which launched the initiative, will serve as the association's Technical Secretariat, under the leadership of EMBARQ's Director for Latin America Luis Gutierrez. Guitierrez said, "Despite the progress of urban mass transit in Latin America, the managers of transit agencies and other transport projects do not currently have the tools to deal with some of the problems that exist in the industry. This new association will help transport officials identify common challenges, share their experiences and knowledge, and ultimately, improve their services." Association members will pay an annual fee to participate in meetings and workshops that will take place throughout the year. EMBARQ Network experts will work with members to measure the performance, impact and management of their city's existing transit systems, as well as to plan and implement future transport projects. Specific technical and managerial support will come from the EMBARQ Network's three Latin American centers: the Center for Sustainable Transport in Brazil (CTS-Brasil), the Center for Sustainable Transport in Mexico (CTS-México), and the Center for Sustainable Transport and Health in the Andean Region (CTSS-Andino.). "Latin America has some of the highest rates of urbanization and motorization in the world, leading to

How to choose environment-friendly means of transport Transport is responsible for one-fourth of all Norwegian emissions. A new research project is now underway to identify the changes needed to reduce emissions from this sector. By Silje Pileberg If major, comprehensive measures are not implemented, the transport sector's impact on the climate will continue to increase throughout this century. This applies to Norway as well. From 1990 to 2005, emissions from the transport sector increased by 27 percent, while total emissions in Norway increased by 9 percent. The Norwegian Government's white paper on climate change calls for emissions from the transport sector to be reduced by 2.5 to 4 million tonnes of CO2 compared with the anticipated level of emissions in 2020. What must be done to reach this goal?   "There are many research activities now underway that aim to develop environment- and climate-friendly technology. But it does not help to design and build emission-free forms of transport if we cannot get society to use them," says Lasse Fridstrøm, Managing Director of the Institute of Transport Economics.   Fridstrøm heads the recently-launched research project called TEMPO, which will study the social conditions for a sustainable transport sector. Choices made every day "Choices between climate-friendly and climate-unfriendly transport alternatives are taken every day - by the individual consumer, company or agency. How can we get these millions of individual decisions to move in one sustainable direction?" asks Fridstrøm. He continues:   "How can we achieve one consistent, effective policy? What instruments do we have at our disposal? What instruments work best? Which ones do not work? There are many myths out there and just as little scientific knowledge."   The TEMPO project will create a better basis for decision-making on climate policy in the transport area. The Institute of Transport Economics is heading the project in conjunction

TRANSPORTATION Zen and the art of urban transportation 7 BY JOHN GREENFIELD 16 DEC 2011 6:18 AM Commissioner Gabe Klein. Photo: Steven Vance This is excerpted from a longer story in GRID Chicago. To read the original, which includes a (somewhat hair-raising) ride to work with the commissioner, click here. When forward-thinking Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Commissioner Gabe Klein reported for work on May 16 as part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's new administration, it marked a sea change in the city's priorities. Chicago spent most of the 20th century trying to make it easier to drive. In recent years, as other cities pioneered green transportation initiatives like car-protected bike lanes, large-scale public bike sharing systems, and "ciclovia" events which shut down streets to make room for car-free recreation, Chicago futilely tried to fight auto congestion by removing pedestrian crosswalks, shortening walk signal times, and installing slip lanes and right-on-red signals to help drivers make faster turns. After Emanuel won the election, his choice of Klein made it clear the mayor-elect was serious about sustainable transportation. The new commissioner was fresh from a stint as transportation director for Washington, D.C., where in a mere 23 months, he made numerous pedestrian safety improvements, launched a new streetcar system, expanded the downtown circulator bus system, piloted protected bike lanes, and created the nation's first and largest bike share system. He arrived a month before starting work, so within six months on the job, the commissioner racked up an impressive list of accomplishments and firsts, installing the city's first protected bicycle lane, starting work on new protected lanes on two other streets, and laying plans to install a total of 100 miles of protected lanes within Emanuel's first term. Under Klein, CDOT has begun striping conventional bike lanes continuously through intersections, it has broken the R

As discretionary expenditures, transportation programs likely face significant changes if they are to cope with spending cuts across all levels of government. These changes would require not only reprioritizing the use of scarce funds, cutting ineffective programs, and improving the performance of remaining programs, but also encour­aging states and local partners to find other sources of funding for transportation.

Accessibility is the ease of reaching valued destinations, such as jobs, shops, schools, entertainment, and recreation. As such, accessibility creates value. Capturing some of this value would allow state and local governments to invest in the operations, maintenance, and in some cases expansion of their transportation networks. Accessibility, as an outcome-oriented metric,

Help from CfIT for local authority practitioners working on the 'integration' of town planning and transport planning. If you think it is difficult to plan for sustainable travel, then think again. Urban structure and mobility are inextricably linked. This website gives expert advice on planning for a more effective location and form of development that can help achieve sustainable travel. This website and related work seeks to: Provide evidence for a range of actors involved in town planning and transport planning. Disseminate good practice, with an emphasis on 'strategic' issues and good working practices, developing 'key themes' for practice advice. Develop case study examples of current working practice in integrated urban and transport planning, with a focus on areas with development growth aspirations (such as Growth Areas and Growth Points). Provide signposts to related guidance by government and others. Hence, help practitioners more effectively use spatial planning tools in enabling greater sustainability in travel. The Evidence The location of activities - homes, workplaces, leisure, health, education and other facilities - act as the physical 'structuring framework' for travel. Although socio-economic, attitudinal and contextual characteristics all play important roles in the demand for travel, it is increasingly clear from the empirical evidence that there are significant associations between the built environment and travel. Urban Structure as an Enabler of Sustainable Travel Spatial planning is typically a long term instrument; its effects manifest themselves over several decades. However, the cumulative effect of land use decisions over recent decades has had a profound effect on travel patterns, and has the potential to have an equally significant effect, positively or negatively, in the future. Target Audience This website aims to publicise the evidence from research and practice which has become available since the last update

Despite these positive effects, it also generates negative (economic, environmental and social) impacts on cities worldwide. Relatively little attention has been paid to these issues by researchers and policymakers until recently. The analyses found in City Distribution and Urban Freight Transport aim to improve knowledge in this important area by recognizing and evaluating the problems, with a focus on urban freight transport systems.

Sustainable Mobility on the Road to Rio+20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Daniel Sperling, Elizabeth Thompson, Michael Replogle, Polly Trottenberg, Gordon Feller, Peter Lehner, Cornie Huizenga THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2012 - WASHINGTON, D.C. inShare Email More Resources Print Page The UN secretary-general's new five-year action agenda identifies sustainable transport as one of five building blocks of sustainable development. Yet transport is virtually invisible in the initial framing of Rio+20, the June 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. A panel of experts will discuss the prospects of getting sustainable transport on the agenda in Rio; how the United States can best promote the issue internationally; and what civil society, business, and government can do to ensure a successful conference. Carnegie's Dan Sperling will moderate.
