Policy Framework: Building Effective Mobility Strategies

Understand the different types of mobility policies and how to combine them for maximum impact on emissions reduction and sustainable transportation

Effective mobility policy requires a balanced mix of different policy instruments. Regulatory policies set standards and mandates, economic incentives provide financial motivation, infrastructure investments build the physical foundation, and behavioral interventions encourage sustainable choices.

The policy mix simulator below allows you to experiment with different combinations of these approaches. Adjust the weight of each policy type to see how it affects key outcomes like emissions reduction, cost-effectiveness, public acceptance, implementation speed, and equity. Different contexts may require different balances based on local conditions and priorities.
