Green Growth and Transport

The report briefly examines policies to support electric vehicles, vehicle replacement schemes and high speed rail and reviews the political economy of introducing congestion charges from experience to date with charging systems around the world. It ends with a review of indicators developed for the assessment of transport investments and policies. Without attempting to assess best practices, the paper describes current examples of government policies within each section, and highlights recent literature analyzing the effects, loopholes, tensions and lessons resulting from these policies.
