Development of Sustainable
Energy System for Transport
Sector
Vision
Indicators
Mechanisms

Why important
n The transport sector has met a substantial
growth in greenhouse emissions
n The largest share of the increase in oil use
coming from the transport sector

Vision
n Clean Fuels & Vehicles
Vehicle fleets in many cities around the
world are converting to compressed
natural gas (CNG). This
substantially reduces air pollution.
Ethanol is also being blended with
gasoline to reduce pollution and
dependence on oil. On the vehicle
side, governments are adopting
more rigorous vehicle standards.
Cities are also phasing out 2-stroke
engines, which are highly polluting.

Vision
n Integrated Urban Road Pricing:
Road pricing scheme with tolls for
transport entering the city center. This
will be fully automated and the tolls will
vary with time of day and day of week,
to reflect congestion.

Vision
n Bus Rapid Transit Systems:
A new paradigm in urban mass
transit will be developed. BRT
systems get buses out of
traffic, increase their average
speed, improve their reliability
and convenience, increase
system capacities, thus
increasing the profitability of
systems.
They are much less expensive and represent a significantly
more efficient use of capital than construction of
railbased metros and, can be implemented in a fraction
of the time.

Vision
n Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS):
ITS encompass a broad range
of communications based
on information, control and
electronics technologies to
help to monitor and
enhance system wide
performance, reduce
congestion, provide
alternate routes to travelers
and enhance productivity.

Vision
n Pedestrian & bicycle
facilities:
Ukrainian cities will change
their vision of future
development toward a
more people centered
approach, they will have
more pedestrian &
bicycle related
infrastructure as a
means of encouraging a
safer and healthier
environment.

Vision
n Long-term government planning
Ukrainian transport system will be common
for all big and small cities and even
villages, planned according to a unified
government program.

Economical indicators for
Sustainable Transport sector

Social indicators for
Sustainable Transport sector

Environmental indicators for
Sustainable Transport sector

Indicators
Indicators are things we measure to
evaluate progress toward goals and
objectives. Such indicators have many
uses: they can help to identify trends,
predict problems, assess options, set
performance targets, and evaluate a
particular jurisdiction or organization.

Indicators
For comprehensive and sustainable
transportation planning it is usually the best
to choose a balanced set of indicators
reflecting a combination of economic, social
and environmental objectives. An indicator
set that focuses too much on one type of
impact or overlooks others can result in
decisions that are not overall optimal.

Mechanisms
n Government and municipal programs for
attraction of investments into development
of clean fuels and vehicles;
n Imposing high taxes on using traditional
transport and preferences for using new
types of transport (in a long-term
perspective);
n Popularization of virtual offices, internet
commerce and remote learning

Mechanisms
n Development of government program
for SD of transport sector for 50 years
in cooperation with R&D institutes,
universities, industry, municipal and
NGO organizations;
n Introduction of SD into educational
programs;
n Arrangement of public discussions in
mass media with government
authorities, industry and business
representatives, green peace, etc to
promote SD as a modern and popular
style of life

Conclusion
Changing the transport sector of
ukrainian energy system to a
sustainable one is not an easy task.
This challenge requires introduction of
different mechanisms. And it is not
only technical or technological
objective.

Conclusion
To accomplish our vision of transport
system of Ukraine in a long term we
should implement deep changes not
only on national or industrial level, but
we should also think about how to
involve each citizen of Ukraine in this
process using also educational,
informational, legal and economical
mechanisms.
