How can we reduce carbon emissions in our cities?
The global transport sector accounts for app. 30% of global energy-related CO2 emissions*. In Europe, this figure is app. 25%**.
It is therefore uplifting to see, that cities are beginning to adjust to a wider mobility mix, including on-demand mobility, and consider the need for combined mobility***.
When on-demand mobility services (DRT services) are offered – as door-to-door, point-to-point or in combination with fixed line traffic, etc. – experience shows these services reduce the need for private car ownership, potentially decreasing the number of vehicles on the road.
… The benefits of this are for example less carbon emissions, less traffic congestion, and greener city environments.
