      <title>Spatio-temporal analysis of charging requirements for Victoria's electric bus fleet</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2536129</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 2020, the Victorian Government launched a $20 million initiative to explore the feasibility of a large-scale shift to Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) within the state's public transport network. The project involved six Victorian bus operators trialling 50 Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) on existing routes across metropolitan- and regional areas. This valuable trial provided an opportunity to study key aspects of a successful ZEB transition, including depot infrastructure upgrades and route planning for a large-scale BEB fleet. This project aimed to leverage data collected from the ZEB trial to develop a comprehensive BEB energy consumption model. This model empowers bus operators to estimate energy usage across various routes under different conditions (weather, traffic). This information allows for optimised planning of charging schedules, strategic placement of off-depot charging stations, and informed decisions regarding battery size requirements for future BEBs.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This Blueprint document presents a vision for how transport services in rural and regional areas in the NSW context could be better organised to meet the needs of residents and visitors. The Blueprint features a mobility framework for Rural and Regional MaaS which is multi-modal (including all modes available, including the private car) and multi-service (e.g., non-mobility services such as parcel deliveries, library services, food and medicine distribution, media streaming). The Blueprint also provides a focus on decarbonising transport and combatting social exclusion.]]></description>

      <title>Health impacts of low-carbon transport in cities: evidence for better policies</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2509085</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Transitioning to low-carbon transport reduces greenhouse gas emissions and also significantly improves public health, for example, by encouraging active mobility and lowering air pollution levels. These improvements contribute to decreased health-care expenditures, with the potential to balance investment costs in the long run. Health and transport sectors need more integrated strategies to support healthier, low-carbon urban mobility solutions. Coordinated actions can achieve better health outcomes while meeting climate targets. Vulnerable groups, including women, older adults, and low-income households often experience higher exposure to urban health risks and barriers to mobility. Addressing these disparities is critical to creating healthy, inclusive, liveable, low-carbon cities.]]></description>

      <title>Managing competing sectoral demands for energy resources: transitioning to sustainable transport</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2509083</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Decarbonising the transport sector will require rapidly adopting new renewable energy sources. The increasing demand for renewable energy must be balanced with available supply, which needs to be scaled up at an unprecedented speed to achieve climate goals. At the same time, countries seek to decarbonise their entire economy with tremendous needs for renewable energy resources in very short timescales. Potential bottlenecks in renewable energy supply could place the transport sector in direct competition for renewable energy resources with other sectors of the economy, such as buildings and industry. There may also be competition for renewable energy supplies between different modes within the transport sector, affecting the mode or technology choice or between different global regions, each with different purchasing power and resource availability. This report assesses the constraints to the transport sector arising from the potential scarcity of renewable energy supply over the coming decades. In doing so, it aims to support governments in long-term planning to decarbonise the transport sector, accounting for energy system constraints and supply bottlenecks and facilitating international co-operation.]]></description>

      <title>Light vehicle emissions intensity in Australia: trends over time</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2509082</link>
      <description><![CDATA[For the first time, we have also analysed the emissions intensity of the currently registered light vehicle fleet in Australia, including almost all vehicles that entered the fleet between 2003 and the start of 2024. By reporting beyond new car sales, we can get a sense of how Australia is tracking in cutting emissions intensity across all light vehicles on Australian roads. Each year since 2009, the National Transport Commission (NTC) has published a carbon dioxide emissions intensity report on new Australian light vehicles sold during the previous calendar year. This year’s report also continues this data series and provides data for 2023. Vehicle emissions intensity is a measure of vehicle efficiency, not actual vehicle emissions, which depend on many real-world factors such as distance travelled, the nature of the driving, and road and traffic conditions. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) collates carbon dioxide emissions intensity data from vehicle manufacturers and sales for each calendar year. We analyse this data in preparing each year’s report (see Methodology section). In this year’s expanded report, the registration data on all light vehicles on our roads was provided by Austroads, with data sourced from the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System (NEVDIS). Through analysis of carbon dioxide emissions intensity and sales data aggregated by vehicle class, type of use by purchaser and by state or territory, the report helps inform governments, fleet managers and consumers of the broad impacts of buying choices on carbon dioxide emissions intensity.]]></description>

      <title>Next stop suburbia: making shared transport work for everyone in Aussie cities</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2509076</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At the moment, our car-centric transport system leaves too many Aussies with little choice in how to get around. For decades, governments have prioritised the use of private cars in transport planning and investment. Too often, this means people have no other way to get around. This is driving harmful climate pollution while also making our streets more congested, dangerous and polluted. Australian families are paying more than they should for petrol and maintenance costs, particularly in the outer suburbs of our biggest cities where people often have to drive further and more often. We can change this by stepping up the availability, frequency and reliability of shared and active transport. Greater uptake of electric vehicles is important, but by itself this won’t reduce climate pollution at the speed we need, nor deliver other benefits in improved safety and less traffic. Using shared and active transport for more trips, more often isn’t possible for many people because they don’t have access to transport that meets their needs. Australians are clear that they want better transport options and more choice. In Climate Council polling, 80 percent of people said they wanted governments to invest more in public transport, and 67 percent wanted more investment in active transport infrastructure. The lack of services and infrastructure is a key barrier to people across our big cities using these transport options more often. This report provides recommendations for how governments can plan and invest public money better to put shared and active transport at the centre of transport delivery from now on. The benefits will be huge: we can help slash climate pollution this decade and deliver cleaner air, safer streets, more affordable ways of getting around, as well as more liveable cities with less congestion.]]></description>

      <title>Decarbonising aviation: exploring the consequences</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2475173</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The international aviation sector has set a challenging goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Reaching this target requires a substantial reduction in carbon emissions from aircraft and fuels as well as the implementation of regulatory instruments, which will impact costs that may translate to higher passenger and freight prices. As a result, changes in aviation demand growth projections could have broader implications for air connectivity, the tourism sector, equity, labour markets and the wider economy. This report reviews decarbonisation policies and technologies to evaluate their consequences along different dimensions and offers policy insights for governments on how to achieve net-zero aviation while mitigating any adverse impacts on different stakeholders.]]></description>

      <title>GHG emissions accounting and reporting for transport</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2475172</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The transport sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, posing substantial risks to both the environment and the economy. With the growing number of commitments to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, robust tracking and reporting of GHG emissions is crucial. The emissions reporting landscape is rapidly evolving, not just within the transport sector but across all areas of sustainability. This report aims to demystify the complex landscape of emissions calculation and reporting for transport, often characterised by a plethora of methodologies, standards, and regulations. It evaluates the current state of GHG accounting and reporting practices in the transport sector, identifies key challenges, and how to overcome those. By doing so, it provides a roadmap to improve transparency and consistency in emissions accounting and reporting, ultimately helping the industry to reduce its environmental impact and move towards practices with future generations in mind.]]></description>

      <title>Guide to integrating transport into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2475171</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This guidance serves to support national governments with developing their next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The transport sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 23% of energy-related CO2 emissions. NDCs are the main tool for implementing the Paris Agreement, through which governments set out their emissions reduction targets and actions to decarbonise across their economy and adapt to climate impacts. The third round of NDC submissions are due in February 2025. In these NDCs, governments will set out their ambitions and targets for emissions reductions and adaptation to climate impacts towards 2035 and respond to the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake. While 98% of NDCs include a mention of transport, only 33% include an emissions reduction target for the transport sector. This document serves as guidance for governments on how they could feature transport in their NDC 3.0 submissions. NDCs are by their nature, nationally determined, and therefore actions must align with different national circumstances, pathways and approaches as well as the Paris Agreement. Consequently, this document is not prescriptive, but a comprehensive guide for governments to draw from and adapt in the development of their NDCs.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This user guide and the Decarbonisation Decision-Making Multi-Criteria Analysis Tool are designed to help transport agencies to strategically assess emission reduction interventions, guiding them to prioritise the most impactful, cost-effective, and technologically viable options. This approach ensures that agency resources are allocated to actions most conducive to achieving carbon reduction goals. The tool and user guide have been developed predominately for state transport agencies; however, the general process or elements would also be useful for local governments seeking to assess and prioritise emission reduction interventions for the road networks that they deliver and operate.]]></description>
