12 What are possible Policy Options? Integrated transport planning Improvement of public transportation Modal shift to energy efficient modes Travel demand management Congestion management Compact city planning Use of technology High speed rails: feasible alternative to air travel, 500 miles Resilient Infrastructure Social inclusion Extend reach of transport to vulnerable groups Provide affordable public transport 12
