Key themes
• Planning (compact cities, transport integration in land
use planning - e.g. transit oriented development),
• Taxation and charges (fuel taxation, CO2 taxation,
cordon pricing, congestion charging, parking fees, road
pricing for freight),
• Regulations (access restrictions - eventually time
related, e.g. for freight deliveries, reserved/dedicated
lanes),
• investments (public transport infrastructure, subsidies
to public transport operations).
What is modal shift? Why do we care?
• Modal shift is the changing of travel patterns by
mode – not necessarily more or less travel, just
different
• Different modes have different characteristics
– Cost
– Energy efficiency, CO2 rates
– Space efficiency
– Speed, comfort, door-to-door convenience
– Safety, security
– Availability
Why do cars often dominate urban travel?
• In most countries, those who can afford to buy a
motorbike or a car do, and then travel by car for a
large share of their trips
• Seen as fast, convenient, comfortable, low
(marginal) cost, high status
• Public transport seen as slow, uncomfortable, high
marginal cost, low status
• Changing this picture requires shifting all these
variables for both modes.

Traditional focus was given to road design: More infrastructure for cars, more space for motorized vehicles, unsustainable focus: Question is, how to use limited road space best

Global High Shift Scenario Project
• During 2013-2014, ITDP and UCD developed an
Urban Model and created a “High Shift” scenario,
toward much greater use of public and active
transport, for global cities
• Report published in November 2014, presented at
COP in Lima
2
Analysis Approach
• Global travel projected to 2050 using an urban
model adapted from the International Energy
Agency’s Mobility Model
• World modeled at level of 33 countries/regions
• Detailed reporting for 13 groupings with major
economies like the U.S., China and India broken
out.
• More detailed breakouts and analysis of urban
travel modes than MoMo
• Modal shift based on potential to boost capacity of
transit/NMT systems to allow fewer cars
5
Comparison of Two Scenarios
• “High Shift” Scenario:
• Projection of cities by size through 2050
• Increased rapid transit km per million population
• Encourage walking and cycling for short trips
• E-bikes expand in lieu of motor cycles and some cars
• Preserve total projected growth in personal mobility in
low and middle income (non-OECD) countries to 2050
• Cut car travel in cities by half by 2050 in High Shift
scenario compared to Baseline Scenario
• “Baseline” Scenario aligns with the IEA 4 degree scenario
• About 25% improvement in fuel economy to 2050
(slight additional improvements in High Shift scenario)
• No shift away from car growth trends
• Other modes static or slow growth

The efficiency of vehicles improves slowly in the
scenario

Impact on urban passenger transport CO2 emissions
Compared to baseline scenario for 2050, High Shift
scenario would also cut global warming pollution
• Cut annual CO2 emissions 1.7 GT (40%)
• Cut cumulative 2015-2040 CO2 emissions 25 GT (25%)
3
Impact on urban passenger transport CO2 emissions
3
Opportunities for CO2 reduction in both rich and poor
countries, benefits ramping up especially in 2030-2050
High Shift Scenario - In Summary
3
More investment in clean urban public transport, walking,
and cycling between now and 2050 could:
• Cut cumulative public and private urban transportation
costs by $114 trillion, with biggest savings in non-OECD
• Boost public transport mobility of poorest 20% by 300%
• Cut annual CO2 emissions from urban passenger
transport by 1.7 GT in 2050, a 40% drop
• Cut cumulative CO2 emissions from urban passenger
transport by 25 GT 2015-2050, a 25% drop
• Yield growing cost savings and CO2 savings over time
• Develop only if there is increased private sector and
government support & investment in public transport
How to make modal shift happen? Push and Pull
3
Pull Push
Invest heavily in high-quality bus and rail transit systems
Increase the cost of car use!
Hi quality Infrastructure for walking and cycling
Tax vehicle ownership
Land use macro: encourage growth in transit-oriented way,
better integrate, improve institutional framework
Fuel pricing
Land use micro: connectivity between transit and NMT, streetscapes, walkability
Road pricing, parking pricing and restrictions
Support for cultural change Restricted car use zones
How to pay for all the infrastructure?
3
Answer – cross subsidize
• Vehicle sales taxes or registration fees
o Can be based on CO2 emissions, and raise
revenues for sustainable transportation projects
o California is using it’s revenues from Cap and
Trade law in part to build high-speed rail
o Co2 related vehicle taxation
• Fuel taxes
• Road pricing – can be differentiated across modes
• There are a range of types of pricing schemes
• There are many other potential revenue sources…
Top priority – reduce fuel subsidies where they exist
3
Potential Revenue Sources
3
Source: Victoria Transport Policy Institute, 2015 (vtpi.org)
Comparison of road pricing systems
3
Name Description Objectives Road toll (fixed rates)
A fixed fee for driving on a particular road. To raise revenues.
Congestion pricing (time-variable)
A fee that is higher under congested conditions than uncongested conditions, intended to shift some vehicle traffic to other routes, times and modes.
To raise revenues and reduce traffic congestion.
Cordon fees Fees charged for driving in a particular area. To reduce congestion in major urban centers.
HOT lanes A high-occupant-vehicle lane that accommodates a limited number of lower-occupant vehicles for a fee.
To favor HOVs compared with a general-purpose lane, and to raise revenues compared with an HOV lane.
Distance-based fees
A vehicle use fee based on how many miles a vehicle is driven.
To raise revenues and reduce various traffic problems.
Pay-As-You-Drive insurance
Prorates premiums by mileage so vehicle insurance becomes a variable cost.
To reduce various traffic problems, particularly accidents.
Road space rationing
Revenue-neutral credits used to ration peak-period roadway capacity.
To reduce congestion on major roadways or urban centers.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
3
• PPPs involve private financing and ownership of publically
used infrastructure and systems, allowing private capital to
help fund public goods.
• PPP is constrained for transport. Barriers common in many
low and middle income countries include:
o Laws that prohibit foreign involvement in certain sectors or
private operation of government-owned assets,
o Deficient PPP contracts that may transfer excessive risk thus
deterring a wide pool of bidders or greatly increase the cost of
private capital, and a changeable policy environment.
o Institutional investors, who could potentially increase
investments in sustainable transport, have not always well
defined sustainability criteria for their investments.
Recommended Finance-related Actions
3
• Improve regulatory and investment frameworks, remove perceived
risks, and enhance government and private sector capacity.
• Enhance governments’ efforts to expand the pool of well prepared
sustainable transport projects.
• Aggregate sustainable transport investment options that in their
own right are too small to attract large scale financing.
• Use fiscal instruments and user charges to broaden and deepen
revenue sources while reducing demand for unsustainable
transport.
• Better align prevailing fiscal rules and developing sustainable
transport.
• Promote innovative regional financing mechanisms that achieve
scale by targeting benefits to multiple countries, rather than
focusing on financing directed to individual countries.
