Component 3 - Transport

COMPONENT 3 - TRANSPORT

Mobile sources of pollution are responsible for more than 80% of air pollution in Partner Countries’ capital cities, making tranpsort a cornerstone in the efforts to tackle air pollution issues in these countries. Thus, the third Component of the Air-Q-Gov project focuses on the introduction of a variety of instruments to reduce transport emissions in the Partner Countries. The intitial stage of the project involved the preparation of a Concordance table of national and EU legistation in the transport sector followed by the development of recommendations for convergence of such national legislation with EU norms. Later a baseline emission inventory for pollutants and greenhouse gases from transport emissions was developed using COPERT 4 software. Trainings for the use of this software were also provided to the national and local authorities with the aim of utilising COPERT 4 to improve existing transport strategies and help mainstream environmental requirements into strategic documents.

The project has also undertaken a study which reviewed European and world practicies involving economic instruments to promote sustainable development.

The project aims to assist the countries with the development of national and/or municipal transport strategies, especially through the implementation of national pilot project activities. In this context specific legislation and/or regulations were developed and tailored to the requirements of individual and/or groups of countries. Number of workshops were devoted to the development of emission projections at the national level and urban pollution modelling at the municipal level. The project supported the Partner Countries though preparation of a handbook for municipal decision makers which contains the developed economic instruments as practical tools for the mitigation of transport pollution in the wider context of sustainable development.

To increase the operation capacities in the partner countries, a specific pilot project has been launched with a goal of implementing parts of the Integrated Air Pollution Forecasting and Management System ‘THOR’ ina pilot city in each of the Partner Countries.

The main activities under Component 3 were:

- Legal framework and Standards (3.1)

- Develop Emission Inventories in Transportation Sector (3.2)

- Introduction of transport-planning tools (3.3)

- Introduction of Economic instruments to Reduce Transport-related Emissions (3.4)

- Support of policies and measures in the field of sustainable mobility policies and national planning (3.5)
