For Immediate Release: 2 December 2005


The Victoria Transport Policy Institute issued a new report today:

"Win-Win Emission Reductions: Smart Transportation Emission Reduction 
Strategies Can Achieve Kyoto Targets And Provide Other Economic, 
Social And Environmental Benefits" ( 
http://www.vtpi.org/wwclimate.pdf ) By Todd Litman


Summary
Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective, technically 
feasible, market reforms that help solve transportation problems by 
increasing consumer options and removing market distortions that 
cause inefficient travel patterns. They can provide many economic, 
social and environmental benefits. If implemented to the degree that 
is economically justified, Win-Win Solutions could achieve the 
transportation component of Kyoto emission reduction targets while 
stimulating economic development and reducing other problems such as 
traffic congestion and accidents. This paper discusses the Win-Win 
concept and describes a dozen excellent Win-Win strategies.

This paper is presented as a contribution to the 11th United Nations 
climate change conference held this week in Montreal.
