Transport Outlook 2008: Focusing on CO2
Emissions from Road Vehicles
Discussion Paper 2008-13
This short outlook is designed to test the potential for key policy instruments
for mitigating emissions from road transport, and particularly from light duty vehicles,
the largest source of CO2 emissions from transport. It also examines uncertainties
in the baseline scenario for the development of Co2 emissions from the sector.

Long-life Surfaces for Busy Roads
Long-life surfaces could substantially cut the costs
of road works, including the delays they cause, especially on
congested routes with heavy traffic. These surfaces use new materials
that cost more than conventional asphalt and require special handling.
This report presents the results of collaborative research to
evaluate the technical and economic potential of the most
promising long-life surfaces and assist governments in weighing
up the risks and advantages of introducing them on busy roads.

Transport Infrastructure Investment. Options for
Efficiency
Surface transport plays a fundamental role in nearly all social and
economic activity. Providing and maintaining the infrastructure
consumes enormous resources. Thus, it is essential that this be
carried out in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Many options are available to provide surface transport infrastructure -
public ministries and agencies, public-private partnerships (PPPs),
state-owned companies, private and non-profit entities, and outright
privatisation. There are also various means of paying for it, including
user charging, subsidies, public borrowing or private financing.
This report examines key principles that should be considered by
governments in deciding how to provide and pay for surface transport
infrastructure, with a view to best serving societies' needs and
employing public resources. It also considers the key issues that must
be resolved in making more use of private financing and expertise.
