Win-Win Transportation Emission Reduction Strategies There are many possible ways to reduce pollution emissions. Some provide significant co-benefits. Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective policy reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. This report discusses the Win-Win concept and describes various Win-Win emission reduction strategies.

Our World Accelerated: How 120 Years of Transportation Progress Affected Our Lives and Communities
This report critically examines how 120 years of transportation progress affect our lives and communities. Before 1900, automobile and air travel hardly existed; by 2000 they were dominant forms of travel. We now travel about ten times faster and farther than in 1900. Although this provides benefits, it also imposes significant economic, social and environmental costs. These offset a major portion of benefits and tend to be inequitable. This has important lessons for future transport planning.
