Published Online October 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/jtts) Peak Car Use and the Rise of Global Rail: Why this is happening and what it means for large and small cities Peter Newman1, Jeffrey Kenworthy1, Garry Glazebrook2 1Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute, Fremantle, Australia 2University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), Sydney, Australia Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received July 2013 Abstract The 21st century promises some dramatic changes – some expected, others surprising. One of the more surprising changes is the dramatic peaking in car use and an associated increase in the world’s urban rail systems. This paper sets out what is happening with the growth of rail, especially in the traditional car dependent cities of the US and Aus- tralia, and why this is happening, particularly its relationship to car use declines. It provides new data on the plateau in the speed of urban car transportation that supports rail’s increasing role compared to cars in cities everywhere, as well as other structural, economic and cultural changes that indicate a move away from car dependent urbanism. The paper suggests that the rise of urban rail is a contributing factor in peak car use through the relative reduction in speed of traf- fic compared to transit, especially rail, as well as the growing value of dense, knowledge-based centers that depend on rail access for their viability and cultural attraction. Finally, the paper suggests what can be done to make rail work bet- ter based on some best practice trends in large cities and small car dependent cities.

Introduction This report examines air-to-surface access integrated ticketing in support of one of the Department for Transport’s (DfT) six policy objectives in the proposed new avia- tion strategy – “Helping the aviation industry work for its customers”. Integrated Ticketing is defined as the incorporation of one ticket that includes sur- face access to/from an airport and the airplane ticket itself using one transaction. Integrated ticketing may consider surface access journeys both to the origin airport and from the destination airport. We recognise that some of the methods of inte- grated ticketing might not be truly integrated (such as selling rail or coach tickets on board the flight), but such examples were included in the report to reflect that these exist and that the customer experience in purchasing is relatively seamless.
