Seventy percent of the oil America uses each year goes to
transportation. In "Transport Beyond Oil", leading experts show how
to slash that statistic and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The
authors demonstrate that smarter development and land use
decisions, paired with better transportation systems, can
dramatically lower energy consumption. John Renne calculates how
oil can be saved through a future with more transit-oriented
development. Petra Todorovitch examines the promise of high speed
rail. Peter Newman envisions 100 per cent oil-free cities through
the development of electric-transit, renewable natural gas, and
other sustainable energy sources. Additional topics include funding
transit, freight transport, and non-motorised transportation
systems. Each chapter provides policy prescriptions and their
measurable results. "Transport Beyond Oil" delivers practical
solutions, based on quantitative data. This fact-based approach
offers a new vision of travel that is both transformational and
achievable.
