The Dutch Advisory Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (RLI) has chosen the decarbonisation of the transport sector as a central topic for the annual conference of the network of European Environmental and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils (EEAC), held in Rotterdam on 11 October 2012. As part of the preparation for this conference, the RLI commissioned CE Delft to carry out a study on the national policies for the decarbonisation of transport. This study provides an overview of the main trends regarding transport in EU Member States as well as an in-depth analysis of relevant policies. Both existing policies and national studies and visions on long term decarbonisation strategies have been assessed. The analysis was based on various EU wide data sets from EEA, the European Commission and other stakeholders and also a literature review. Furthermore more detailed data on existing and planned policies has been gathered for ten selected Member States with the support of national experts.

Tubingen’s “French district”, in German “Französisches Viertel“, is an urban brownfield development project. A 60-hectare military wasteland was converted into a dense urban neighbourhood with mixed urban functions. In a continuing development process, a new living space for 6,000 inhabitants and 2,500 jobs were created. An imaginative urban design enables the combination of living, supply, commerce and light forms of industry. Further on, the neighbourhood is characterised by low energy housing and an innovative mobility concept. Its main policy ideas are to generate fewer trips, shorten their distances and shift traffic to efficient modes of transportation.
