17TH World Congress on Road Winter Service, Resilience and Decarbonisation - Pre-proceedings of the Congress

Decarbonisation Session 08 - Roads for Decarbonised urban & peri-urban mobility

Thursday, March 12 11:30 - 13:00
Chair: Andrea Simone, Chair of PIARC Technical Committee 2.1, Italy
Room: Room 4

Decarbonizing roads in urban/peri-urban areas involves shifting from private cars to sustainable modes (walking, cycling, public transit, shared mobility), integrating land use with transport planning, electrifying vehicles (EVs, hydrogen), and using smart tech for efficiency, all while redesigning infrastructure for people, not just cars, to reduce emissions, congestion, and improve air quality for climate neutrality. Key strategies include better transit, multimodal hubs, road pricing, and policies promoting proximity and reduced car dependency.
