The Future of Mobility

Scenarios for China in 2030

By: Liisa Ecola,Johanna Zmud,Kun Gu,Peter Phleps,Irene Feige

Researchers developed two scenarios to envision the future of mobility in China in 2030. Economic growth, the presence of constraints on vehicle ownership and driving, and environmental conditions differentiate the scenarios. By making potential long-term mobility futures more vivid, the team sought to help decisionmakers at different levels of government and in the private sector better anticipate and prepare for change.

Mileage-Based User Fees for Transportation Funding

A Primer for State and Local Decisionmakers

By: Paul Sorensen,Liisa Ecola,Martin Wachs

This primer presents some promising and innovative mileage fee system designs and transition strategies. For states or localities that are considering a transition to mileage fees, awareness of these strategies can help determine whether shifting from fuel taxes to mileage fees merits further consideration. For jurisdictions already engaged in detailed assessments of mileage fees, these concepts can help reduce costs and build public support.

Assessing Risk to the National Critical Functions as a Result of Climate Change

By: Michelle E. Miro,Andrew Lauland,Rahim Ali,Edward W. Chan,Richard H. Donohue,Ecola,Timothy R. Gulden,Liam Regan,Karen M. Sudkamp,Tobias Sytsma,Michael T. Wilson,Chandler Sachs

National Critical Functions (NCFs) are government and private-sector functions so vital that their disruption would debilitate security, the economy, public health, or safety. Researchers developed a risk management framework to assess and manage the risk that climate change poses to the NCFs and use the framework to assess 27 priority NCFs. This report details the risk assessment portions of the framework.

Evaluating Options for U.S. Greenhouse-Gas Mitigation Using Multiple Criteria

By: Nicholas Burger,Liisa Ecola,Thomas Light

Choosing policy responses to mitigate greenhouse gases (GHGs) is one of the great challenges that the United States faces. It will require balancing cost-effectiveness and other objectives that reflect the institutional and political realities of passing major federal legislation with widespread impacts on U.S. producers and consumers. This paper develops a framework for evaluating U.S. GHG-mitigation policy that balances several criteria.

The Future of Driving in Developing Countries

By: Liisa Ecola,Charlene Rohr,Johanna Zmud,Tobias Kuhnimhof,Peter Phleps,Rand Transportation, Space, and Technology (Program),Institut für Mobilitätsforschung

The level of automobility, defined as travel in personal vehicles, is often seen as a function of income: The higher a country's per capita income, the greater the amount of driving. However, levels of automobility vary quite substantially between countries even at similar levels of economic development. This suggests that countries follow different mobility paths. The research detailed in this report sought to answer three questions: What are the factors besides economic development that affect automobility? What is their influence on automobility? What will happen to automobility in developing countries if they progress along similar paths as developed countries? To answer these questions, the authors developed a methodology to identify these factors, model their impact on developed countries, and forecast automobility (as defined by per capita vehicle-kilometers traveled [VKT]) in four developing countries. This methodology draws on quantitative analysis of historical automobility development in four country case studies (the United States, Australia, Germany, and Japan) that represent very different levels of per capita automobility, in combination with data derived from an expert-based qualitative approach. The authors used the latter to assess how these experiences may affect the future of automobility in the BRIC countries: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. According to this analysis, automobility levels in the four BRIC countries will fall between those of the United States (which has the highest per capita VKT level of the four case studies) and Japan (which has the lowest). Brazil is forecasted to have the highest per capita VKT and India the lowest." -- "Abstract" on web page.
