notes taken from an address by
Nick Dimopoulos (National Transport Commission) Planning for environmentally sustainable transport
- agriculture is moving north
- 2 degrees of warming will result in 17% more cost on roads
- oil supply is going down whereas oil demand is going up
- Transport is responsible for 14% emissions
- Transport is the fastest growing sector for emissions
- The NTC supports the inclusion of transport in an ETS
- Pubic transport currently makes up for 9% of all trips
- the integration of all urban transportation needs to be optimised
- Australia is the only OECD country without a National People Moving Strategy
- More interventionist land use planning is going to be necessary in the future
- With developments of 5 storeys, over 600,000 people could be accommodated along Melbourne's tram routes - we've got to work smarter with what we've got
- Road pricing is preferable, though politically sensitive, to building new infrastructure
