Date and time

Thu, 23 June 2022

16:00 – 17:30 CEST

This is the first appointment of the Covenant of Mayors webinar series 'Policy options to reduce emissions from transport’: public transport

About this event

According to the International Transport Forum public transport buses and trains can release up to a fifth of CO2 emissions per passenger-Km than ride-hailing and about a third of a private vehicle. A strong and well-integrated public transport network can also help provide equal access to jobs, education, services and other economic opportunities, particularly to those without private vehicles.

Investing in public transport is one of the most effective measures to reduce transports’ emissions and bring cities closer to reach their climate targets. It can increase equity and foster economic development, therefore - ensuring that public transportation is accessible, affordable, and inclusive is of paramount importance to reach wider climate and societal goals set by cities.

This webinar will explore concrete measures cities can take to 1) support the deployment of public transports’ services and infrastructures, 2) foster decarbonisation in the transport network and 3) guarantee its accessibility for all citizens.

Participants will also have the opportunity to interact with panellists in the Q&A session.
