[sustran] Re: TDM in Perth, WA - 14% car-driver trip reductio n

[Alan P Howes]

There's some very interesting stuff being posted lately. I will try to
get my Transportation Planning colleagues in Dubai interested. Trouble
is, that they still think here that Transportation Planning = Road
Planning.

One specific wrt to Alan's Really Useful Posting below - can anyone
tell me the price of motor fuel in Santiago? Here it is just about 23
cents US per litre, and other costs of running a car are very low -
are Travel Blending or Individual marketing likely to make any headway
in this context? (While there are a large number of South Asian
labourers here on USD 135 per month or less, most people get double
that or more.)

[NB: Sems odd quoting gas prices in USD/litre - what's the
international standard? The UAE is probably about the last place in
the world to sell road fuel in Imperial (not US) gallons!]
