About this project
Description
The project aims at empowering the relevant stakeholders in the urban transport sector to steer a strategic transition towards low-carbon mobility for passengers and freight. The project will test the effectiveness of an array of innovative policies and measures and will launch a reform process to establish an innovation-friendly environment for urban transport policy. The project will facilitate the reform of the current framework of urban transport regulations and incentives, with a focus on public transport quality and promotion of non-motorized modes, the adoption of electric vehicles in the public transport and urban delivery sectors, closer cooperation among authorities and relevant agents and appropriate monitoring systems of transport GHG emissions. It is expected that the project will provide direct emission savings of at least 114,930 t CO2 in 10 years, and consequential savings of at least 166,441 t CO2 in 10 years after project completion.
