This assessment estimates the impacts of urban transport. It currently focuses on health impacts (air pollution, accidents, physical activity) and greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 emissions), but the assessment may be expanded later. The model file is Impacts of urban transport.ANA.
Contents
Scope
Purpose
What are the health and climate impacts of urban transport?
Boundaries
- Urban area of a random city
- Years 2010, 2030
Scenarios
Scenarios for year 2030:[1]
- Business as usual
- no additional greenhouse gas policies.
- Lower-carbon-emission motor vehicles
- reducing the emission factors from motor vehicles.
- Increased active travel
- a large increase in cycling, a doubling in the distance walked, and a reduction in car use with a small reduction in road freight.
- Towards sustainable transport
- combined the lower-emission motor vehicles from the lower-carbon-emission motor vehicles scenario, and the low car use and longer distances walked and cycled from the increased active travel scenario.
- Short-distance active travel
- included the same low-car use as in the increased active travel scenario but with half the rise in distances walked and cycled because of shorter distances and reduced travel times.
Intended use and users
- Mega case study users
- City-level policy-makers
Participants
- This is an open assessment. Anyone can participate.
