What does the future of transportation planning look like? SLR global team of transportation experts, composed of consultants from the US and the UK recently participated in a half-day charrette with the City of Bellevue, WA on best practices for active transportation planning, out-of-the-box thinking, and future- proof concepts to build an equitable, nature-positive, zero-carbon, and climate resilient transportation and mobility infrastructure. These global perspectives help encourage innovation and outside perspectives to solve challenging sustainable mobility problems.

New research highlights the potential of sustainable urban transportation policies 🚗🌍 A new study looked at transportation policies and greenhouse gas reduction efforts in 120 major cities around the world. And guess what? By implementing a mix of strategies like promoting public transit, taxing polluting vehicles, and using efficient electric cars, we could slash transportation emissions by a whopping 31% within the next 15 years. However, the effectiveness of different strategies varied significantly depending on the unique characteristics of each city. For example, public transport improvements may be more impactful in dense urban areas with existing infrastructure, while policies pushing electric vehicles could have a larger impact in regions with higher personal vehicle usage. There are, though, potential challenges to implementing policies in countries or cities with limited resources: - a lack of funding, - political will, - and resistance from stakeholders who benefit from the current system. 🚌 For me, this study clearly underscores the need for tailored, context-specific approaches to sustainable mobility on a regional level. While emphasizing efficient vehicles and public transport aligns with goals, the infrastructural and cultural contexts must be considered to ensure the success of new policies. For instance, densely populated urban areas may require a focus on expanding bike lanes and pedestrian infrastructure, while rural regions might benefit from initiatives that encourage carpooling or electric vehicle adoption. By acknowledging these nuances, policymakers can craft solutions that address specific needs and challenges, leading to more sustainable transportation systems. ⚡️ All this data provides valuable insights for mobility leaders seeking to improve emission reduction plans for their communities. And to address these factors, we can include education campaigns, partnerships with local organizations, and targeted investment in infrastructure. What else should mobility leaders consider when developing customized ♻️ sustainable transportation plans based on their local context and needs? #sustainability #triply #transport #urbanplanning #emissionsreduction

#Mumbailocal #आमचीमुंबई #Sustainability Greener Earth: Embracing Public Transportation Public transportation is a cornerstone of sustainable urban development. It offers a multitude of benefits that address pressing global challenges, particularly in the realms of traffic management and environmental protection. Key Benefits of Public Transportation: * Traffic Congestion Mitigation: By reducing the number of individual vehicles on the road, public transportation helps alleviate traffic congestion, improving travel times and reducing stress for commuters. * Greenhouse Gas Reduction: Public transportation systems, especially those powered by electricity or renewable energy sources, significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to individual vehicles, contributing to a healthier planet. * Cost-Effective Travel: Public transportation is generally more affordable than owning and operating a private vehicle, making it a financially viable option for many. * Enhanced Social Connectivity: Traveling on public transportation allows individuals to interact with a diverse range of people, fostering social connections and promoting cultural understanding. * Health Benefits: Walking to and from public transportation stops can contribute to physical and mental well-being. Challenges and Opportunities: Despite its numerous advantages, public transportation faces several challenges, including: * Accessibility Issues: Residential areas often lack adequate infrastructure to support public transportation, making it difficult for people to reach stations or stops. * Indiscipline: Poor behavior, such as overcrowding, littering, and harassment, can hinder the efficiency and enjoyment of public transportation. * Social Status Perceptions: Some individuals may perceive public transportation as inferior to private vehicles, leading to a reluctance to use it. However, there is growing momentum towards adopting more sustainable transportation practices. As awareness of climate change and the negative impacts of traffic congestion increases, people are becoming more open to using public transportation. By addressing the challenges and investing in robust public transportation systems, we can create greener, more sustainable cities for generations to come. I try my best to commute by City buses, local train, State tarnsport buses to save both - Money and environment, and many times time as well. What about you?
