Transportation sector has a significant effect on the World’s energy demand and increasing emission levels. The relationship between energy and transport is direct but may vary based on different transport modes, such as; air, road, rail and marine. Passengers and high-value goods are usually transported by fast and energy-intensive modes, due to the high value of the time component of their mobility. The maritime transportation, on the other hand, is linked to low energy consumption per unit of mass transported, with a slower speed.  Energy efficiency policies in transportation sector focus more on developing new technologies that increase fuel efficiency and incentivize changing transportation patterns. This chapter discusses the transportation sector related energy efficiency policies, under following categories: fuel efficiency standards, incentives, labeling, technical assistance, and urban planning and behavior change.
