Win-win transportation emission reduction strategies: smart transportation strategies can reduce pollution emissions and provide other important economic, social and environmental benefits

Win-win transportation solutions are cost-effective, technically feasible market reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. They provide many economic, social and environmental benefits. If implemented to the degree economically justified, win-win solutions could achieve the transport component of Kyoto emission reduction targets while helping to address problems such as traffic congestion, accidents and inadequate mobility for non-drivers, and supporting economic development. This report discusses the win-win concept and describes various win-win strategies.
