Description
Greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector continue to increase and are projected to increase further in the coming years. As there is no simple and immediate solution to the challenge of meeting significant CO2 reductions in transportation, it is evident that a large range of effective and efficient CO2 reduction measures will have to be implemented. Statistics indicate over 90% of all road transportation relies on fossil fuel. The number of people using cars has grown over recent years. This increased use of private transportation continues to generate several environmental, social and economic concerns. The contribution to global warming and local air-pollution from the emission of toxic and harmful substances in urban areas and pollution is threatening both human health and ecosystems. The use of private cars is also threatening the quality of urban life with increasing noise levels and accidents.
Objective
To provide facilities supporting the use of alternative transportation modes.
