[sustran] Report on Clinton Climate Initiative/C40 join workshop on transport, London, Dec. 2007

[eric.britton]

We have to reduce about 80% of our greenhouse 
gas emissions over the next 10 to 15 years."
- William Jefferson Clinton, 1 August 2006

 

As many of you in our several New Mobility programs and discussion groups
are aware, we have been enthusiastic supporters of these goals of the
Clinton Climate Initiative
(http://www.clintonfoundation.org/cf-pgm-cci-home.htm ) as set out in the
opening statement of President Clinton back in the summer of 2006. In this
spirit here is the latest information that we have from them their first
report on their collaborative transportation program event with the C40
Cities Climate Leadership Group (http://www.c40cities.org) that took place
in London in the first week of this month:.

This last overview paper by their Senior Director sets out the 13
product/service areas which they are targeting. I have shifted their order
slightly to put the three that interest our new mobility/climate action
programs (http://www.invent.newmobility.org)  most in the top three slots. 

 

·         BRT Design Services 

·         Fare Collection Systems 

·         Traffic Management Systems 

·         Advanced All-Electric Buses
