The impacts of urban passenger transport are not just a growing concern in Brazil, but an increasingly problematic source of GHG emissions, responsible for nearly half of all energy-related emissions. The rapid growth of passenger transport, particularly in Brazil’s many large cities, has exacerbated the impacts of traffic congestion, pollution, and inequitable access to public transportation. These challenges, coupled with the ongoing struggle to provide reliable and sustainable public tra...| Institute for Transportation and Development Policy - Promoting sustainable a...

A key objective of sustainable transport policy is to reduce driving in cities, which is often measured by vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT). Facilitating this shift away from private vehicles may seem challenging in places currently experiencing rapid growth, especially as data in nearly all of the key regions where ITDP operates indicate a rise in VKT. This is expected to further increase by 50% globally by 2030, or approximately 15% every five years since 2015. In the Africa region, VKT by...| Institute for Transportation and Development Policy - Promoting sustainable a...
Cleaner air has long been a shared goal for Jakartans, and it has become increasingly urgent with visible smog and pollution regularly shrouding the city. The implementation of LEZs provides a solution for improving air quality by reducing transport-related emissions and limiting the use of polluting vehicles in high-traffic areas. In general, LEZs are adjoining areas that employ both priced (fines or fees) and non-priced (time restrictions) strategies to reduce vehicle use. In 2021, the Gove...| Institute for Transportation and Development Policy - Promoting sustainable a...
