    Guide 9 Sustainable transportation Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit Building a Low-Carbon Future Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit People in Canada take pride in this country’s natural landscapes, rich ecosystems and wildlife. But Canada’s Constitution doesn’t mention environmental rights and responsibilities. Municipalities across the country are recognizing and supporting their residents’ right to a healthy environment. By adopting the Blue Dot declaration, more than 150 municipal governments now support the right to clean air and water, safe food, a stable climate and a say in decisions that affect our health and well-being. For some municipalities, adopting the Blue Dot declaration is a clear statement about environmental initiatives already underway. For others, it’s a significant first step. Either way, after passing a declaration, many ask “What happens next?” This toolkit provides practical ideas for next steps. Its introduction and 13 downloadable guides cover topics related to human health, green communities and a low-carbon future. Written for policy-makers, each guide shares examples of policies and projects undertaken in communities in Canada and around the world. The goal is to inform, inspire and share good ideas and great practices that will lead to healthier, more sustainable communities now and in the future. The following guides are available: Introduction to the Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit Protecting Human Health Guide 1: Air quality Guide 2: Clean water Guide 3: Non-toxic environment Guide 4: Healthy food Creating Green Communities Guide 5: Access to green space Guide 6: Protecting and restoring biodiversity Guide 7: Zero waste Building a Low Carbon Future Guide 8: Transitioning to 100% renewable energy Guide 9: Green buildings Guide 10: Sustainable transportation Guide 11: Green economy Guide 12: Climate change adaptation Guide 13: Ecological footprint and land use planning To read more about municipal actions for environmental rights, and to access all the Blue Dot toolkit guides, visit www.____.org.

Transportation of U.S. Grains A Modal Share Analysis 1978-2016 Update USDA Economists Kuo-Liang “Matt” Chang Peter Caffarelli Jesse Gastelle Adam Sparger Transportation Services Division USDA Agricultural Marketing Service i Abstract This report provides a breakout by mode of corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, and barley movements to either domestic markets or U.S. ports for export between 1978 and 2016. It is the eleventh update of an initial modal share study completed in 1992. The purpose of this series of reports is to provide the latest information about changes and trends in the relative competitiveness and efficiency among the different transportation modes in moving grain. Estimates of the tonnages (and shares) of grain railed, barged, and trucked are developed from a variety of secondary sources. This data can be used to identify trends and implications on transportation from factors, such as changes in production volumes and commodity mix, as well as changes in the relative demand for U.S. grain for domestic purposes versus export. ii Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................ii

    LONG-TERM TRENDS IN MODAL SHARE FOR URBAN PASSENGER TRAVEL David Cosgrove and David Gargett Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics INTRODUCTION When considering the effects of competition on patronage levels for urban public transport, an awareness of past trends in those levels is typically of significant value. In fact, a sound knowledge of how urban transport patterns have varied over time can be crucial for properly assessing the likely scope for any change to the current modal shares of the various urban passenger tasks. At the Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics (BTRE), we have compiled datasets on a series of long-term trends in primary passenger tasks; not only at the national level, but also for each of the Australian capital cities. As an aid to discussions concerning either past effects of transport reforms (on passenger modal choice) or the possible extent of future patronage growth (for urban transit), this paper presents a summary of such modal trends, for each State and Territory capital city. The BTRE has recently conducted a study of the avoidable social costs of congestion in Australia (reported in Working Paper 71, Estimating Urban Traffic and Congestion Cost Trends for Australian Cities, BTRE 2007). Congestion imposes significant costs on society – with interruptions to urban traffic flow lengthening average journey times, making trip travel times more variable, and making vehicle engine operation less efficient. The latter leads not only to higher rates of fuel consumption, than would otherwise have occurred, but also to poorer urban air quality (with vehicles under congested conditions typically emitting far higher rates of noxious pollutants than under more freely flowing conditions, resulting in even higher health costs to the community).

Reduced mobility, whilst causing social and economic impacts, can also be beneficial for the environment and future studies will surely quantify such environmental gains. However, accurate quantification is intimately linked to good quality data on transport modal shares, as passenger cars and public transport have significantly different emissions profiles. Herein, we compile a currently lacking dataset on global modal transport shares for 131 countries. Notably, these are the countries covered by the Google Community Mobility Reports (plus Russia and China for their global relevance), thus allowing for a smooth integration between our dataset and the rich information offered by the Google Community Mobility Reports, thus enabling analysis of global emissions reductions due to mobility restrictions.
