| description |
Efficiency is one of the four global
goals framing sustainable mobility in the Global Mobility
Report (GMR). The GMR posits that efficiency is crucial to
ensure that transport demand is met effectively at the
least possible cost. Because efficiency cuts across multiple
aspects of mobility, the GMR arbitrarily defines the scope
of the efficiency goal from a macro-economic perspective.
Putting in place a transport system that is efficient would
mean achieving, among other things: (i) seamless integration
across transport modes; (ii) optimal traffic volumes that
reduce congestion and delays at borders; and (iii) minimal
use of energy for moving people and goods. This would be
done at the macroeconomic level—including sub-country,
country, region, and world—with all actors optimizing
resources such as space and energy, adopting adequate
technologies, and making use of regulations and
institutional capacity. Given that demand for the transport
of goods worldwide is projected to triple between 2015 and
2050, the GMR claims that transport infrastructure and
services will have an ever-greater role to play in meeting
additional demand. Therefore, addressing inefficiencies must
be a priority across the entire system of interconnected
roads, railroads, ports, and airports, in any given area. |
