You Say You Want a Transportation Revolution? How About Three of Them?

Katherine E Kerlin — May 02, 2017 - 12:40pm

Three transportation revolutions are in sight, and together, they could help reduce traffic, improve livability, save trillions of dollars and reduce urban transportation CO2 emissions by 80 percent or more worldwide by 2050. That’s according to a report released today from the University of California, Davis, and the New York-based nonprofit Institute for Transportation & Development Policy.

But to receive the most benefit from electric, driverless and shared transportation, the three revolutions must happen at the same time.

Global shift to bicycling could save world trillions of dollars, 10 percent of transport emissions

IET WebDev — November 12, 2015 - 8:40am

A dramatic global shift to increased cycling and electric biking, or e-biking, could cut energy use and carbon dioxide emissions from urban transport by up to 10 percent by 2050 compared to current estimates, while saving society nearly $25 trillion. That is according to a report by the University of California, Davis, and the New York-based Institute for Transportation & Development Policy.

The report, “A Global High Shift Cycling Scenario,” takes a comprehensive look at the future of cycling for urban transportation.
