Key Messages

On Thursday, January 14, 2010, more than 100 transport, urban planning, communications and public health experts gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss two major themes related to sustainable transportation, as part of the annual Transforming Transportation conference. In the morning session, the discussion focused on "Communications and Public Involvement in Urban Transport“. The afternoon session shifted to the topic of "Transport, Health & Safety: Saving Lives through Planning, Action and Evaluation."

Key Messages - Morning Session:

#1: Public participation can take many forms, from information-sharing to consultations to joint decision-making. If done well, public participation increases the legitimacy of decisions and therefore strengthens the implementation of projects and programs, as well as fosters a strong sense of ownership by key stakeholders.

#2: Public involvement can spell the success or failure of transport projects. But even successful initiatives face challenges at the beginning and throughout the project cycle. Lack of effective public participation and communications can cause delays and increase risks, particularly when a wide variety of stakeholders are involved.

#3: Community access to government and private sector decision-making, especially early in the project cycle, is a way to influence better environmental and social outcomes. (See: “Voice and Choice: Opening the Door to Environmental Democracy,” by Joseph Foti, Lalanath de Silva, Heather McGray, Linda Shaffer, Jon Talbot and Jacob Werksman of the World Resources Institute.)

#4: It is critical to include “soft” components of communications and public participation in transport operations. This will ensure the effectiveness of development assistance by multilateral and bilateral institutions.

Other notes:

Communications and public participation are important components of project implementation because they help to shape and control project outcomes. Experts recommend that transport and urban planners deliver repeated, simple, clear messages that are also benefit-focused, consistent and honest, in order to reap the biggest benefits.

The five major benefits of effective communications and public participation in sustainable transport projects can be summed up as follows:

1) Enhancing legitimacy. Participation by all parties builds legitimacy and buy-in for consequent decisions, even in cases where there are winners and losers. It also lessens opposition and conflict.

2) Building stakeholder capacities. Through a participatory process, stakeholders gain skills and knowledge that help to build relationships. Participatory processes are good to create social capital.

3) Better implementation. Partly because of enhanced legitimacy and reduced opposition, decisions are likely to be implemented successfully and sustainably. There is a huge potential for cost savings, as well.

4) Improved quality of outcomes. Decisions will help inform better outcomes, thanks to the skills and knowledge of the local stakeholders during the decision-making process.

5) Reflecting public interest. When stakeholders are involved, decisions will reflect the public’s needs, rather than the narrow views of elected or appointed officials.

Key Messages - Afternoon Session:

#1: Sustainable transport and urban planning solutions, when properly planned, can lead to a win-win scenario. With fewer cars in the streets and a shift towards mass transportation, cities can create a “virtuous cycle” that not only involves greater road safety, increased physical activity and improved air quality, but also helps to create social inclusion, productivity and economic growth. At the same time, all of these outcomes can fight global warming by reducing overall carbon emissions.

#2: Urbanization has created a unique opportunity to address issues related to transport, urban development and public health. Now is the time to challenge decision-makers to change the way they work in their own sectors. But change is not always a welcome challenge, and competition often hinders the end result. A multi-sectoral approach with collaborative partnerships will ensure political support and financial resources to improve quality of life and health for people in the community.

#3: Well-designed cities with fewer cars and more high-quality mass transportation systems can contribute to improved public health. By providing safe and attractive facilities that encourage people to cycle and walk, cities can help increase physical activity, and, ultimately, improve public health overall. Cities designed for people – not cars – will help prevent death and injury for the most vulnerable users of the road.

#4: Institutions should work together to fully capture the range of benefits that come from sustainable transport and urban development. Multi-lateral development banks, especially, are trying to shift their strategy towards a broader evaluation of some of these benefits, including public health and social equity.

#5: Cities need politicians with a bold vision. Compiling data is relevant, but having political leadership is sometimes even more important to convince communities about how sustainable transport and urban planning affect public health. This leadership is necessary to attract stakeholder engagement and financial support for implementing projects. Change is going to happen at the city level, where local communities have the power to engage in the decision-making process.

Key Messages

On Friday, January 15, 2010, 180 transport and climate change experts from local and national governments, multi-lateral development agencies, academic institutions, nonprofits and private companies gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss “Next Steps After Copenhagen: Opportunities and Challenges in the Transport Sector” as part of the annual Transforming Transportation conference.

The full-day event, held at the Inter-American Development Bank headquarters, came one month after the international community met in Copenhagen to negotiate the next phase of the Kyoto Protocol and a new international climate agreement on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The event was jointly organized by the Asian Development Bank, EMBARQ – The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Partnership on Sustainable Low Carbon Transport.

The day’s events, hosted at IDB’s Enrique Iglesias Auditorium, provided a forum for the transport, climate and development communities to discuss the following topics:

• How the transport community can best engage in solving the challenges caused by climate change;
• Connections between climate change and other drivers of transport interventions in developing countries;
• Outcomes of the Climate Conference in Copenhagen and significance for national and local policy making in the transport sector.

Organizers drafted key messages that will help inform the following initiatives, including:

• The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) discussion and policy guidelines on sustainability in the transport sector;
• The Regional Environmental Sustainable Transportation Strategy of the Inter-American Development Bank;
• The 2010-2011 work plan for the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport.

Key Messages:

#1: Climate change mitigation efforts need to address emissions from the transport sector in developing countries in order to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2050, a target suggested by the IPCC and referred to by the Copenhagen Accord.

#2: Decision making in the transport sector should consider multiple policy objectives in support of sustainable development, including adaptation to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, economic and social development, congestion relief, road safety, air quality and health.

#3: Countries can take important steps towards sustainable, low carbon transportation now, before the international community reaches a new international climate agreement or revised Kyoto Protocol. Leading developing countries and cities have initiated efforts to make their transport sectors less carbon intensive or, in some cases, completely carbon neutral.

#4: The allocation of transport-related funds requires a paradigm shift. The guiding principle in future transport funding should be the Avoid-Shift-Improve approach. A better understanding of the mitigation potential in the transport sector will speed up the formulation of more comprehensive investment strategies. Externalities, such as air pollution and carbon emissions, must be addressed through comprehensive pricing policies. And financing from different sources – i.e. nonprofits, multi-lateral development agencies, governments, and the private sector – need to complement each other, rather than work towards different goals. As a large and fast-growing source of carbon emissions, the transport sector should have access to financing under international climate change agreements, in order to spur mitigation activities.

#5: There should be more financial support directed towards enabling and preparatory activities, rather than simply investing in transport systems and infrastructure alone. Sector-wide programs can significantly complement individual projects, and they should include a bundle of measures, instead of isolated interventions, to make transport projects more sustainable.

#6: Adaptation needs to be mainstreamed in the transportation sector. Knowledge, tools and methodologies to address climate change adaptation must be developed, tested, scaled up and mainstreamed quickly into the transportation sector. There is also a need to identify synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation activities, which should work in conjunction with each other as part of an overall transportation strategy.

Ms Emsden’s notable accomplishments include: pioneering a “makeover” of the agency’s identity which earned it the coveted international ReBrand award, establishing an in-house design studio, visually transforming Metro’s fleet (earning recognition by the toy manufacturer Matchbox), overseeing the commissioning and installation of works by over 200 artists in the Metro system, introducing live poetry readings, and founding the world’s only transit art volunteer docent program.
Prior to joining Metro, Maya worked with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority Arts for Transit department and served as editorial assistant for an international contemporary art/urban planning magazine.

Maya received her bachelor degrees in Political Science and Art History from Wheaton College (Norton, Massachusetts) and pursued a masters degree from the Institut de Hautes Etudes Internationales (Geneva, Switzerland).

Maya also serves as an Arts Commissioner for the City of Santa Monica and has served as the president of the Santa Monica Arts Foundation.

“Metro seeks to change the perception and experience of public transportation and employs art and design to create a sense of place, engage transit riders, and improve the quality of life throughout Southern California.”

=====

Maya Emsden showed how perceptions have been transformed around the overall transit system in Los Angeles through planned and continued marketing strategies. Change in perceptions has increased ridership and funding, thanks to a unified brand image, creative communication pieces, art, community involvement and timely campaigns. Appart from unifiying its image across services and modes, the transit agency has positioned itself as part of the solution to the energy, environmental and congestion crises facing the city (and the world). The efforts have also increased the funding to the Los Angeles transit system. Ms. Emsden stressed that “art and design can transform perceptions, but quality design can deliver results”.

Transantiago meant a change in the daily life of the majority of Santiago inhabitants, but service availability and quality were poor during the first months of operation. Dr. Muñoz showed how the perception of the system has improved over time, after several adjustments were made in system coverage and service, and after more effective communication strategies were applied. Currently, the system receives better user ratings than the “micros amarillas” it replaced.

Achieving the transition to a low carbon society is one of the key challenges of the 21st century. The aim of my current research is to provide the best possible evidence to inform decision making on how to maximise public health benefits during the transition to a low carbon transport system. Funded by a consortium led by the Wellcome Trust I co-ordinated an international team of transport and health researchers to estimate the health co-benefits of alternative low carbon transportation scenarios. Our findings have been published in the Lancet series on climate change mitigation and health.
