Power Point For Comp
The document discusses various modes of transportation and their environmental impacts. It describes how some cities are reducing traffic and pollution by charging cars to enter the city, like London's $16 fee. It also discusses the efficiency of hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius compared to average US vehicles, and the types of hybrids that exist. New York and San Francisco are working to convert their taxi fleets to hybrids. Well-designed public transport systems that combine rail, buses, bike lanes and walking paths can provide low-cost, sustainable mobility. Japan's bullet trains are also discussed as a popular green transportation option.
Sustainability Presentation
The document defines sustainable transportation as a system that meets citizens' needs in a way that satisfies humans and the ecosystem, while promoting fairness between generations. Sustainable transportation limits environmental waste within the planet's capacity, uses renewable resources sustainably, and aims to create efficient mobility for communities through policies, systems, and technologies. Currently, transportation accounts for 20-25% of global energy use and carbon emissions. The history of transportation development includes innovations like the passenger train and bicycle, while oil price drops in the 1980s-90s increased individual vehicle ownership and suburban development patterns requiring car dependency.
Sustainable Non Motorised Transport- case studies from around the world
Several cities around the world have implemented policies and initiatives to reduce car traffic and encourage alternative forms of transportation like biking and walking:
- London introduced a congestion charge for driving in central London while increasing bus services to reduce car trips.
- American cities are adding bike lanes to roads to reduce car trips and increase biking as a safe transportation option.
- Bhaktapur, Nepal was designated a UNESCO heritage site for its traditional architecture and car-free streets.
- Cartagena, Colombia launched a plan to convert its historical center to a car-free zone to preserve the area.

SOLRMONODRAFT REVised
The document proposes a solar monorail system for the cities of Dhaka and Chittagong in Bangladesh to address traffic issues. It notes that Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in the world and has severe traffic congestion. A solar monorail could transport large numbers of passengers overhead, avoiding traffic. It would be powered by solar panels and could also provide excess solar energy to the grid. For Chittagong, a dual cargo/passenger solar monorail could transport both people and cargo containers from the busy port more efficiently. This green transit solution could help develop sustainable, energy-secure transportation for the cities while reducing pollution.
Trackless Trams: Integrating Innovative Transit and Urban Regeneration
This document discusses trackless trams as an innovative transit solution that can help integrate transit and urban regeneration. Some key points:
1. Trackless trams have lower costs than traditional trams, do not require tracks, and can increase land values along corridors.
2. Trackless trams are being demonstrated and tested in various cities around the world, and guidelines/manuals are available.
3. Advocates argue that trackless trams could be funded through transit-activated development without large government funding, and could help create less car-dependent cities.

Environmental & Economic Impact of flyover in Dhaka city
Flyovers have been constructed in Dhaka, Bangladesh since 2004 to alleviate traffic congestion caused by rail crossings. The first flyover in Mohakhali reduced jam times at a rail crossing from hours to minutes. Subsequent flyovers were built at Khilgaon, Kuril Bisworoad, Banani Kakoli, Mayor Hanif, and Magbazar Mouchak. While flyovers provided initial traffic relief, they failed to fully solve congestion issues. Critics argue flyovers are not a long term solution and that Dhaka needs improved public transportation and traffic management instead of additional flyovers.

PRESENTATION OF THE GUIDE TO ENERGY AND PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT IN RURAL AREAS
9 pat repute guide presentation june15 final
This document provides a guide to improving energy and transport solutions in rural areas through renewable energy and publicly accessible transport. It discusses how rural communities can generate their own renewable energy through initiatives like community hydro schemes. This energy can then be used to power transport solutions like electric vehicle charging stations and public transport signs. Case studies show how total transport systems integrating different modes of transport, and community-run car sharing schemes powered by renewable energy can help address mobility challenges in remote populations by reducing distances traveled by car. The guide concludes that future rural transport will increasingly rely on renewable energy sources owned and operated at a local level, with public hubs connected by express services, funded by mechanisms like crowd-funding that encourage community participation.
Fly over bridge in bangladesh
Bangladesh is constructing flyover bridges to address the growing traffic problems in its largest cities. Flyover bridges carry one road over another, reducing congestion by separating traffic flows. Several flyovers have already been built in Dhaka, including the Mohakhali Flyover which is 1.12 km long. More flyovers are planned as the population grows and traffic gets worse. Flyovers help increase road capacity and transportation speeds while avoiding traffic jams and accidents at railway crossings. However, they require significant resources to construct and can damage infrastructure as well as increase noise, air pollution, and accidents in surrounding areas.
Bangalore Traffic Solution
The document summarizes the issues with Bangalore's traffic and proposes solutions. It argues that [1] widening roads is not a long term solution as traffic will only continue to increase, [2] building metro rail is too expensive and will take 100 years to complete, and [3] the bus is the best solution to provide public transportation. Buses can carry many more people than individual vehicles and greatly reduce traffic, pollution, and infrastructure costs when widely adopted. The document advocates for increasing bus usage and non-motorized transportation like cycling to simplify commutes without harming the city.
Role in Climate change mitigation in a balanced Avoid, Shift, Improve Scenari...
This document discusses the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in mitigating climate change. It outlines that transport accounts for 21% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. While there are over 180,000 EVs currently, they only make up 0.02% of the world's vehicle fleet. The document advocates for a balanced "avoid, shift, improve" approach to sustainable urban mobility, where EVs could play a role alongside reducing travel demand, shifting modes, and improving vehicle efficiency. A balanced pathway integrating all strategies is needed for higher effectiveness and co-benefits like improved air quality and congestion.

Alternative Fuel Public Transport Buses
The paper objective is to develop an analytical framework that will give us more insight into the
trends in emissions standards as well as technology development, and eventually translate these insights into a
sound investment decision making strategy. Public transport buses are high usage vehicles that operate in
heavily congested areas where air quality improvements and reductions in public exposure to harmful air
contaminants are critical. As such, they are good candidates for achieving both near-term and long-term
emission reductions. Cleaner and less polluting public transport buses based on alternative fuels are of
paramount importance if cities are to attain their ambitious emissions reduction targets. Decision making for the
investment in alternative fuel buses is dependent on future technological development and emissions standards,
and it is difficult, given the uncertainty in regards to both these factors.

Public transport will save Bangalore
The document discusses two options for addressing Bangalore's traffic problems: 1) increasing infrastructure to accommodate more vehicles or 2) reducing traffic by improving public transportation. It argues that option 1 will not work because doubling road widths every 5 years to match rising vehicle numbers would destroy homes and businesses. Air pollution and temperatures would also rise dramatically. Option 2 of improving public transportation could reduce vehicles to 1980 levels, cutting pollution by 88%, road space needs by 88%, and commute costs by 80% while doubling speeds. It cites Bogota, Colombia's example of restricting cars and investing in buses, bikes, and pedestrians to dramatically improve commute times and reduce pollution.
Rolling towards sustainability
The document discusses Copenhagen's successful policies for increasing bicycle transportation, including developing a comprehensive bicycle infrastructure network, prioritizing safety improvements, and promoting a bicycle-friendly culture.

It then focuses on subways, explaining that they provide fast transportation for large groups of people while avoiding collisions. The document lists several economic benefits of subways, such as generating jobs, increasing property values and business revenues. It also notes that subways are safer and can save households money compared to automobile use. In conclusion, while public transportation provides economic and environmental benefits, it also has some disadvantages such as lack of late night service in some areas.
Essential Checklist For A Smart Sustainable City
Public transportation like buses and trains in cities reduces air pollution and congestion from traffic while encouraging efficient land use. Renewable energy sources can help cities reduce reliance on fossil fuels and cut pollution, with some cities getting over 70% of their energy from renewables. Comprehensive recycling programs keep materials out of landfills, and putting pickup schedules online makes participation easier. Farmers markets promote sustainable food while stimulating local agribusiness. Public spaces reduce the need for large private residences, and the average American home has increased 74% in size since 1910.
Transportation, Electric Vehicles and the Environment
Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Personal vehicles, freight trucks, and airplanes account for over 80% of transportation emissions. Several strategies can help reduce these emissions, including telecommuting to reduce commuting, fleet management through driver training and efficient routing, using more fuel-efficient hybrid and electric vehicles, adopting alternative fuels, and implementing designs that reduce vehicle drag. Larger adoption of these approaches could meaningfully lower the environmental impacts of the transportation sector.

Power Point For Comp
- 1. Transportation and the Earth By: Alycen Rowland Rachel Lucas Composition 102 June 2009
- 3. Suburbs and Commuter Culture The development of suburbs has created a commuter culture, where the average daily commute is close to an hour. These are the people who need an alternative to regular automobiles, but many do not know what their options are.
- 6. Hybrid Taxis Large cities, such as New York and San Francisco are making strides to convert all of there taxis into hybrids in a next few decades. Large cities like these are the source of many carbon emissions in their states. With the development of hybrid taxis these cities expect the reduce their gas emissions by roughly 30%.
- 8. SHINKANSEN (Japanese Bullet Train) These trains have become popular in Japan and they connect all the major cities. They travel at a speed starting at 160 MPH, giving them the title of the fastest trains in existence. They run roughly SIX trains per hour! If these trains were built in the U.S. it would allow people to travel across the country in 15 hours. These trains have minimized driving in Japan by allowing people to travel between major cities in large groups in fast times.
- 9. United States The United States is way behind Europe in Green Transportation. There are three major steps the United States can do to convince people to change to public transportation. The first is to place a meaningful tax on gasoline, one that correctly reflects how limited this resource is and how damaging it can be to our environment. The second is to force car dealerships to raise the fuel efficiency of their vehicles. Lastly, funds need to migrate from fixing roads and highways to improving public transportation.
