This chapter presents a range of policies that support an effective decarbonization of the transport sector, considering both the measures that favor a reduction and/or a modal shift of transport demand, and those that promote the spread of cleaner vehicles. The chapter also provide examples of best practices, i.e., cases in which local, national, or international authorities have attempted and been able to successfully implement these measures. Following analysis of individual policies, the chapter will look to take a more holistic approach to policy implementation. In this context, it will illustrate the governance levels that involve each singular policy, the taxation issue, potentially emerging risks, and the distributional effects deriving from the implementation of these policies.
