Ce rapport passe en revue l'expérience de onze pays européens (y compris la Russie) et des États-Unis dans l'élaboration et la mise en oeuvre de politiques de transports urbains durables. Des rapports nationaux et une analyse synthétique permettent de tirer des leçons des politiques qui...

This ECMT Round Table contains four papers that show how a disconnect between transport policy planning and spatial policy planning and measures have curtailed the effectiveness of transport policy. The papers discuss ways to overcome the lack of coordination between transport and spatial...

Much of the current policy debate has considered infrastructure charges as a form of “fiscal” instrument for managing transport demand. The Round Table analysed the opportunities for setting infrastructure service prices so that they also provide guidance for the supply of services. It...
