A case study of the impact of a driving restriction policy implemented in Beijing prior to the 2008 Olympics found short-term benefits, but also a pattern of rule-breaking and loss of those benefits over time, as residents adapted by changing travel times; buying a second car with a different license plate; or simply violating the rules.

CO 2 emissions from transportation sector by scenario in the study. Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. million barrels per day, relative to 2008 levels.

A second study led by UC Santa Barbara was released simultaneously. The state funded the two studies through the 2019 Budget Act. The studies are designed to identify paths to slash transportation-related fossil fuel demand and emissions while also managing a strategic, responsible decline in transportation-related fossil fuel supply.

More research, development, and demonstration studies are needed to lay the foundation for such a long-term transformation. There are many options available for reducing the fuel, energy, and GHG emissions impacts of LDVs. —“On the Road Toward 2050”. —“On the Road Toward 2050” Click to enlarge.
