Yes/No

Feedback

Private transport

Are there any mandate or incentive programs that support reduction of transport demands or shifts to more energy-efficient modes of transport for personal use, such as:

Regularly scheduled teleworking

Bicycle and/or other non-motorized schemes

Car sharing

Public transit subsidies for consumers

Congestion charges

Electric vehicle programs

Other

Is there a requirement for periodic reporting to verify compliance or progress of the program(s)?

Commercial and/or industrial transport

Are there any mandate or incentive programs that support reduction of transport demands or shifts to more energy-efficient modes of transport for commercial and/or industrial use, such as:

Heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy standards (data already collected in Indicator 10 can be scored here)

Freight rail mandatory fuel economy standards or efficiency incentives

Energy efficiency procurement standards or incentives for municipal rail and bus fleets

Efficient fuel-switching mandate or incentive programs for commercial/ industrial vehicle fleets

Other

Is there a requirement for periodic reporting to verify compliance or prog- ress of the program(s)?

Is there a national database or national reporting system to periodically track and report the following transport efficiency metrics:

Fuel per mile driven

Average distance traveled per vehicle

Distance traveled by public transit as a share of total passenger distance traveled

Vehicle miles traveled per capita
