increasingly done by motor vehicles

• Lagging application of clean fuels & technologies, and Air Quality Management

• Declining city centres; rapid decentralisation into car-oriented suburban sprawl

Some effects• Worsening air pollution & noise• Poor and deteriorating road safety• Greater congestion• Deteriorating operating conditions

(congestion, dispersion) for public transport

• Pedestrians and cyclist increasingly marginalised by private motor vehicles

• Adverse effects on economic efficiency; investment attractiveness

• Less liveable cities

• Urban areas require proper road networks

• New roads attract more traffic and reduce the viability of publictransport

• Transport benefits will be offset by future congestion

• reduce traffic congestion

• reduce adverse effects on the environment or public health

• generate additional revenue to improve public transport and NMT by pricing mechanisms

• reduce the total volume of traffic

• promote shifts towards moresustainable modes of transport

Managing transport demand, not just supplyManaging transport demand, not just supply

Especially in fairly dense cities, but equally as car-dependent cities have found, it is not possible to build or buy your way out of congestion.

Traffic management must address not just supply aspects, such as the provisioning of extra and/or wider roads, but also demand.

Parking pricing and managementParking pricing and management

Parking is a key issue in the push-and-pull approach towards better urban transport with fewer cars and more cycling, walking, and transit. Parking policies are supposed to support the change from car trips to the more city-compatible means of transport, and to relieve the open space of driven and parked cars for other uses.

Parking control and pricing is the most commonly applied demand management measure.

Economic instruments: Fuel taxation, vehicle Economic instruments: Fuel taxation, vehicle taxestaxes

In the absence of other measures which more accurately target peak period road use fuel tax is a reasonable replacement measure.

As fuel prices do not address vehicle use at specific congested (city) locations nor specific congested times, they are not a responsive measure for reducing urban traffic congestion.

Urban fuel surcharges can provide local revenue which can be used to improve the transport system (Mexico City, Bogotá, in the 80`s in Brasil).

In Germany and other countries fuel taxation has been important in promoting more environmentally friendly fuels. Most EU countries, for example, applied fuel taxation to make (at that time) unleaded fuel cheaper than leaded fuel. This as well regarding CNG, LPG and Biodiesel (much lower fuel taxes).

The vehicle tax in Germany is strictly environmental related (factor 1:6 regarding environmental standard of vehicle). That means, the owner of a vehicle that does not meet the environmental standard as of today (Euro 4) has to pay a tax up to 6 times higher than an owner of a car which meets those standards

The German government considers to provide a tax reduction forthe installation of particulate filters in cars (until 12/2009)

• A 600 € tax reduction is under review for new cars or older cars, being equipped or retrofitted with particulate filters and which fulfill thestrict particulate limits

• A 300 € tax reduction for older cars, which are to be retrofitted withparticulate filters and thus ascend into a „better“ emission group (e.g. Euro 2 => Euro 3 or Euro 3 => Euro 4)

• A study commissioned by the German Federal Environment Agency estimated that 10,000 to 19,000 Germans die each year from diesel particulate emissions

ULSD in ULSD in HongHong KongKong

o 2002 Hong Kong passed regulation for ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel)

o In July 2000 considerable tax differential for 50ppm diesel relative to the conventional 500ppm was introduced.

o ULSD penetrated 100% of the market in summer 2000.

o During the summer, the pump prices of ULSD and regular diesel were equal.

o The government mandated higher vehicle standards- Euro 3, and undertook an extensive diesel oxidation catalyst retrofit programme.

Tax Tax incentivesincentives forfor energyenergy--efficientefficient vehiclesvehicles in Thailand in Thailand

Thai government plans to offer tax incentives to encourage the production and sale of energy-efficientvehicles.

All vehicles with a consumption of max. 1 liter per 18-20 km qualify for the new tax incentives.

Tax incentives are also for hybrid cars and cars that useethanol-blended gasoline (gasohol).

Further, a tax on large, fuel-consuming cars with an engine capacity exceeding 2500cc is under proposal.

SingaporeSingapore’’s comprehensive approach to TDMs comprehensive approach to TDM

Vehicle taxation to influence travel demand.

Vehicle taxes are imposed at various points, including import, sale, and annual registration.

Singapore has been the major exponent of vehicle taxation as a means of reducing transport demand, with a tax structure aimed at discouraging older vehicles. Yet even with high taxes vehicle ownership continued to increase, leading in 1990 to the application of an absolute quota system limiting the number of vehicles.

The Open Bidding System for Certificates of Entitlement (COE) allows to submit a bid for a COE, to monitor the current COE Price and to reserve the price of a bid from home, office or even from mobile phone. It provides real-time information during the bidding exercise so that one can check the current COE price and use it as a reference when submitting or revising a bid.

One can submit his bid by indicating the maximum amount that he is willing to pay.

If the bid has been successfully submitted, the bank will deduct the bid deposit, together with an administration fee of $2 from bank account.

• £5 a-day is the congestion charge for those driving in eight square miles of central London.

• Drivers who paid the charge either by (cell-) phone (until 10 pm), via the internet or at shops and garages get registered in a database.

How does it operate?

• 700 video cameras scan the rear licence plates of the approximately 110,000 motorists (May 2003) who enter this area daily. This information is matched each night with the database.

• Anyone who fails to pay by midnight is fined £80.

The so-called „push and pull strategy“ is the key for sustainable transport development, and when consequently followed may have significant influence on modal splitHow much of the “push” (getting people out of their cars) and the “pull” (getting people into public transport and NMT) can be applied depends on the financial resources of a given city, but even themore on the dedication and leadership of the mayor and the city council.With very limited financial resources, for example parking management and access restrictions (push) can be implemented, while on the other hand public bus transport can be made considerably more attractive by a bus regulation and concessioning scheme and a reallocation of public space (for example into cycle lanes and/or bus lanes/BRT systems).

ConclusionsConclusions

TDM and EI are particularly appropriate in developing country cities, because of their low costs and multiple benefits.

Simply increasing vehicle flows does not solve today’s challenges in urban transport – it rather attracts more traffic. Only a combined strategy of improving public transport and restricting individual car use can lead to sustained improvements in urban transport.

There is a wide range of specific instruments to be used both for improving public transport and for restricting individual car use.

The institutional set-up for applying an integrated urban transport policy is of paramount importance. Major aspects include: integration of land-use planning, settlement planning and urban transport planning. A regional or urban transport authority shall be responsible for an integration of all public transport operators.

Mobility management measures should be developed, assessed and applied not individually, but as a package.

The major stakeholders must be involved at all times to achieve a high level of acceptance (both at the level of planning and implementation).

The “high-cost” and comprehensive TDM framework of Hong Kong and Singapore should be seen as “high-end” examples. Cities can use TDM and EI tailor-made and according to financial resources.
