It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD. The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre- negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. The ITF’s Annual Summit is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy. The Members of the Forum are: Albania, Armenia, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China (People’s Republic of), Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Republic of Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Uzbekistan.

How to do this while making cities more attractive and vibrant, is an even greater challenge. Transport accounts for nearly a quarter of current greenhouse gas emissions, with passenger transport contributing to about 50% of total transport emissions in 2015 (IEA, 2017). In the absence of substantial reductions in vehicle kilometre travelled (VKT) per capita worldwide, increases in fuel-efficiency and the use of low-carbon fuels will only slow, not reverse, the rise in per capita CO2 emissions (UN, 2013). In this context, reducing driving overall to scale back the environmental and social costs associated with private car use is necessary to meet sustainability objectives. Since 2012, the Norwegian Government has promoted the zero-growth objective, stating that increasing passenger transport demand caused by the rapid population growth in the largest Norwegian urban regions shall not cause growth in passenger road-traffic volumes (total VKT in the urban region). The ultimate aims of the objective are more attractive, and more liveable, cities and urban regions that have more efficient mobility systems. This means active modes will constitute a larger share of transport, city centres will be vibrant and accessible, and the transport sector will generate less local and global pollution. A main strategy for achieving this is developing land-use and transport systems in directions that contribute to reduced transport demand, shorter trips and shifts in the modal split towards less car use. This requires multi-level and cross-sectoral coordination and steering, and is not an easy task. Reallocating road and street space to uses other than driving and parking private cars seems like an obvious measure when aiming at shifting the relative competitiveness of sustainable modes of transport versus the car, and achieving zero-growth or reduction of traffic. It seems, however, that authorities’ fear of negative effects and consequences is a key barrier for doing so. This was the key motivation behind the research project, BYTRANS: to investigate adaptations to, and effects and consequences of, planned, significant and relevant changes that would take place in the transport systems in Oslo in the period 2015-2020. The researchers understood the planned changes as natural experiments, offering great opportunities for investigation and knowledge production that could provide important and useful knowledge for authorities, and others, when developing more efficient and sustainable cities and urban transport systems for the future. The paper first describes the Norwegian zero growth objective, followed by a discussion on how reallocation of road and street space to other uses might reduce car dependency and traffic volumes. Then follows a brief description of Oslo’s urban region, and quite thorough descriptions of results from three of the cases studied in the BYTRANS

  • Evidence from Environmental Speed Limits in Norway by Ingrid Kristine Folgerø, Torfinn Harding and Benjamin S
    Going Fast or Going Green? Evidence from Environmental Speed Limits in Norway BY Ingrid Kristine Folgerø, Torfinn Harding and Benjamin S. Westby DISCUSSION PAPER Institutt for samfunnsøkonomi Department of Economics SAM 17/2019 ISSN: 0804-6824 October 2019 This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion. Going Fast or Going Green? Evidence from Environmental Speed Limits in Norway Ingrid Kristine Folgerø, Torfinn Harding and Benjamin S. Westby* 3 October 2019 Abstract This paper studies the impact of speed limits on local air pollution using a series of date- specific speed limit reductions in Oslo over the 2004-2011 period. We find that lowering the speed limit from 80 to 60 km/h reduces travel speed by 5.8 km/h. However, we find no evidence of reduced air pollution as measured next to the treated roads. Our estimates suggest an annual time loss of the speed limit reductions of 55 USD per affected vehicle. Our findings imply that policy makers need to consider other actions than speed limit reductions to improve local air quality.

  • Riving Av 132 Kv Luftledning Ultvedt–Smestad
    Riving av 132 kV luftledning Ultvedt–Smestad Oslo og Ringerike kommuner i Viken fylke Tiltakshaver Statnett SF Referanse 202004896-14 Dato 28.06.2021 Ansvarlig Lisa Vedeld Hammer Saksbehandler Anette Ødegård Dokumentet sendes uten underskrift. Det er godkjent i henhold til interne rutiner. Side 1 Sammendrag Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) gir Statnett SF tillatelse til å rive den ca. 31,6 km lang 132 kV luftledningen mellom Ultvedt i Ringerike kommune og Smestad transformatorstasjon i Oslo kommune. Hvorfor mener NVE at ledningen kan rives Kraftledningen er i dag ikke i normal drift, og fungerer kun som en reserveledning inn til Oslo. Statnett har oppgradert nettet inn til Oslo. NVE mener derfor at å rive denne ikke får noen betydning for forsyningssikkerheten, og at den følgelig skal fjernes. Hvilke virkninger vil riving av ledningen gi Luftledningen båndlegger i dag et 32 meter bredt rettighetsbelte, går gjennom mye brukte og viktige friluftsområder, naturvernområder og nær bebyggelse. Det å rive denne vil dermed ha positive virkninger for private og allmenne interesser, samt for areal- og miljø. Store deler av ledningen går gjennom mye brukte områder, og når anleggsarbeidene pågår vil det gi ulemper for de som bor/bruker området med stengte stier, ferdselsårer, skiløyper med videre. Vi vurderer imidlertid at ingen av de negative virkningene som følge av anleggsgjennomføringen er av slik karakter at Statnett ikke bør gjennomføre riving av ledningen. For å minimere de negative virkningene av anleggsarbeidene har vi satt vilkår om at Statnett skal utforme en miljø-, transport- og anleggsplan. Hvordan har NVE vurdert verdiene av at kraftledningen er et statlig listeført kulturminne Kraftledningen er et statlig listeført kulturminne.
