Reversing Car Dependency


Information

Date

From 16 March 2021 16:00 to 25 March 2021 17:30

A webinar organised by the International Transport Forum

Managing the growth of urban traffic is vital for improving the liveability of our cities. This webinar will present the findings of an eponym report, that has examined how governments can encourage citizens to use alternatives to private cars in order to reduce car dependency, regardless of how they are powered or who drives them. The report covers also fiscal policies and other instruments for managing urban traffic and correcting current policy biases that favour automobile travel over more sustainable and affordable transport options. It also reviews international experience in co-ordinating transport planning with land-use development and in allocating space to walking and cycling in order to make transport more efficient and streets less congested.
