Call for papers - Transport Planning for a Net Zero Future

Transport Planning for a Net Zero Future - Journal Transportation Planning and Technology

Special Issue Editor(s)

The imperative to achieve ‘Net Zero’ emissions is becoming an increasingly prominent driver for planning and policy-making in a range of fields.  It is particularly important in the transport sphere, given both the significant contribution made by transport systems to overall global emissions and the relatively limited success to date of efforts to reduce transport emissions.  This special issue of Transportation Planning and Technology aims to explore both the implications for transport planning of the drive to reach ‘Net Zero’ and the nature and likely effectiveness of transport planning interventions which could help to achieve this goal.  Potential topics could include (but are not limited to):

• Comparisons of different transport planning strategies and approaches to reach Net Zero
• Case studies and comparisons of innovative planning interventions designed to reduce transport carbon emissions.
• The implications of Net Zero requirements for transport governance and regulation
• Trade-offs or co-benefits between Net Zero and the achievement of other transport planning goals
• Methods for assessing the likely effectiveness of Net Zero policies and plans in the transport sector
• Integration of transport and land use planning to facilitate lower carbon lifestyles
• Methods for influencing travel behaviour to reduce transport carbon emissions
• Planning for transport carbon emission reduction in the Global South
