The paper considered a number of available pathways to move to low-carbon transport with low energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including: promoting alternative energy carriers for all transport modes and improving vehicle fuel efficiency; avoiding or reducing the need to travel by private car through pricing and integrated land-use and transport planning policies; encouraging a modal shift to more energy-efficient mode for a particular trip through pricing mechanisms, regulation, and investments. It’s also mentioned that a combination of the available policies and the collaboration between all relevant institutions and policymakers are necessary to meet energy saving and GHG reduction goals.
