Submitted by Nick Nigro | 05/02/2011 This post first appeared in Txchnologist. It is too early to pick the ultimate car of the future. Plug-in electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and biofuel vehicles are currently in contention, but it is quite possible that no single alternative will dominate the future the way that gasoline-powered cars own our roads today. The competition will be fierce because these new technologies will not only be competing against each other, but also against the ever-improving internal combustion engine. By 2035, it's quite possible a new gasoline-powered car will get 50 mpg and a hybrid-electric car (like the Toyota Prius) will achieve 75 mpg. Whatever technologies win out, it is clear the societal costs of oil are too high. The price at the pump fails to include all the national security and environmental costs of exploration, extraction, distribution, and consumption of oil. Since oil appears cheaper to the consumer than its true cost to society, we end up consuming more than we should. We send hundreds of billions of dollars out of our economy each year - $330 billion in 2010 alone - to oil producers with monopoly power instead of investing the money here at home. Considering that 70 percent of the oil Americans consume is used to get us where we need to go (by land, sea, and air), moving away from oil challenges our relationship with our cars. Although recent trends indicate we're increasing the efficiency of our vehicle fleet, we clearly have a long way to go - our cars and light trucks consume almost 8 million barrels of oil per day. In a report the Pew Center on Global Climate Change released in January, the authors laid out a path for moving away from oil as our dominant transportation fuel through action on three fronts: technological progress, targeted public policies, and a commitment from Americans as consumers and citizens. The critical takeaway from this yearlong study sponsored by the Transportation Research Board of the

Towards a new logic of transport planning? Marvin, S. | Guy, S. Town Planning Review. Vol. 70, no. 2, pp. 139-58. Apr. 1999 This is a lead paper in a policy debate suggesting that a new planning policy is emerging in the transport sector based on Demand-Side Management (DSM). This is a shift from solving network capacity problems by investing in supply capacity to a strategy based upon managing demand through greater attention to network efficiency and end-use consumption. Includes comments by D. Banister, A. L. Bristow, M. Breheny and B. van Wee. (Abstract quotes from original text) Descriptors: ANTE | Transport | Planning | UK

The metropolitan areas of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Oslo (Norway) both aim to facilitate economic development, opportunities for choice and growth in the building stock while limiting negative environmental consequences. Since the 1990s, the rate of consumption of land for urban development has been lower than the economic growth rate in both city regions. Land use policies in Oslo and to some extent in Copenhagen have been explicitly geared towards limiting traffic growth. In both cities, public transport improvements have been combined with road capacity increases. Traffic growth has therefore only been weakly decoupled from economic growth. In both city regions, lack of coordination between sectors, levels and administrative territories is conceived a barrier to sustainability.

Non-Motorised Transport Many urban residents in developing countries and emerging economies rely on cycling or walking but with economic growth, the Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) share in transport systems is being threatened. Yet, NMT or Active Transport (AT) bears a relevant potential in low carbon transport scenarios  and in urban mitigation action. This makes NMT a key element in the transition of transport policies to sustainable mobility. Cycling - Half of all trips in cities are short and within cycling distance. The protection (and revitalisation) of cycling in Asia and the promotion of cycling elsewhere have to become an ingredient in comprehensive mobility plans to mitigate GHG emission in developing country parties of the IPCC. Cycling bears substantial significance for avoiding emissions, poverty alleviation and development. The first results of calculating the carbon value of cycling can be found here. The earlier cycling expertise is brought into transport and urban planning processes, the larger the long term benefits from a cycling inclusive transport system will be. The post 2012 framework should lever government investments in planning for such systems. We can build upon the transition in transport strategy by, among others, the multilateral development banks. Local, national or international strategies and plans should be translated into Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). The NAMA framework can become a stimulus for most of the developing country parties to take up planning for cycling but only if cycling's GHG reduction potential and other benefits to society are better understood and made measurable, reportable and verifiable. The Global Cycling Coalition aims at contributing to SLoCaT's work program on this.

Relationship Between Transport Accessibility and Land Value: Local Model Approach with Geographically Weighted Regression Journal Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board Publisher Transportation Research Board of the National Academies ISSN 0361-1981 Issue Volume 1977 / 2006 Category Planning and Administration Pages 197-205 DOI 10.3141/1977-25 Online Date Wednesday, February 28, 2007 Add to marked items Add to shopping cart Add to saved items Recommend this article PDF (512.5 KB) Authors Hongbo Du1, Corinne Mulley1 1Transport Operations Research Group, School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, United Kingdom Abstract In recent years, land value capture has attracted increasing attention because of its potential for funding transport infrastructure. It is well acknowledged that transport infrastructure can improve accessibility to employment and amenities; thus one might expect that it is the improved accessibility that adds value to land. Therefore, the issues in the relationship between transport accessibility and land value rise in connection with the concept of land value capture. A study looked at the relationship between transport accessibility and land value with the implication of a local model, geographically weighted regression (GWR). Traditional techniques, such as hedonic models, used to understand the attributes of land value, are global models that could be misleading in examining the spatially varying relationships, such as transport accessibility and land value. By using the Tyne and Wear region in the United Kingdom as a case study, the study revealed that nonstationarity existing in the relationship between transport accessibility and land value indicates that transport accessibility may have a positive effect on land value in some areas but a negative or no effect in others; this suggests that a uniform land value capture would be inappropriate. The use of GWR

The paper describes the legal background to the use of benefit assessment, and the process of implementation for the first construction phase of the Los Angeles Metro Rail project. The process of developing the benefit assessment structure was a consultative one, utilizing technical inputs from a team of specialist consultants, a task force consisting of major developers and property owners in the affected area, and politicians representing many of the interests in the region. The initial benefit assessment districts were set up to raise $130 million of the cost of the first 4.4 miles of the rail project, and are based on the benefits accruing to certain categories of property in the vicinity of stations. The assessment would be collected for about 18 years and bonding would be used to provide the capital at the time of constr

Overview Conference Summary Presentations Sponsors Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities Conference Agenda Format for Paper Submission Track Chairs and Conference Program Committee Freight Week Hotels/Room Accommodations Things to do The National Urban Freight Conference 2006 examined the impacts of goods movement and international trade in metropolitan areas. (Scroll down for Conference Agenda.) The purpose of this event was to provide a forum for sharing research on all aspects of urban freight transport, including planning and modeling, impact analysis, and roles of politics and institutions. This conference was among the first to focus on the urban aspects of goods movement and offers opportunities for understanding how growing freight volumes affect metropolitan areas and how freight flows can be better managed. On the conference agenda, you will also find presentations on best practices and lessons learned. These sessions offered tools to industry stakeholders and researchers interested in the problems caused by the intersection of goods movements, urban congestion, environmental awareness, and changing land use and travel patterns. There were over 70 presentations--by respected authors from all over the United States as well as international representatives--organized in tracks of concurrent and plenary sessions on the following topic areas: Models for transportation, port, air, intermodal operations, impact analysis Port operations, productivity Trucking, air, rail economics, productivity, labor issues Local and regional environmental externalities: congestion, air quality, etc. Policy and institutional issues in urban goods movement Security/vulnerability of goods movement infrastructure Best practices and lessons learned

Transport and the Urban Environment Jean-Paul Rodrigue Context Increasing urbanization and mobility has brought forward new dimensions of environmental issues, notably transportation. Urban transportation is now a source of several environmental problems. This course investigates the numerous dimensions involved, from environmental externalities induced by air, water, noise and hazardous materials pollution to socio-economic externalities imposed by land use, safety, and congestion. All these problems are fundamental to the issue of urban and transport sustainability. Policy formulation is the next major challenge and will have to include strategies that consider environmental and socio-economic externalities alike. Objective This course aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the role, function, extent and impacts of urban transportation over environmental systems. It is divided in two major parts, one conceptual and one methodological.
