The Public Transport Savings Estimator helps individuals calculate the potential financial and environmental benefits of using public transportation instead of driving their cars. By inputting details such as the frequency of commuting to common destinations like work, university, or school, users can determine the potential savings in terms of money and carbon emissions that can be achieved by making the switch.
A fuel efficiency standard (FES) is a requirement imposed on light vehicle suppliers to ensure that the new vehicles they introduce to the market meet a specific CO2 per kilometer standard on average. This standard applies to a diverse range of vehicles, including cars, SUVs, utes, and 4-wheel drives, allowing for their sale while promoting improved fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
This checklist can be used as a guide to reducing transport emissions for events. Simply select actions that are applicable to your event and ensure regular reviews for continued improvement. Events can encourage car sharing, public and active transport, such as cycling and walking.
The Australian Government recently announced its commitment to implementing fuel efficiency standards as part of the National Electric Vehicle Strategy. These standards aim to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles. Notably, Australia, along with Russia, is one of the only developed countries without such standards. As a consequence, the average emissions intensity of new passenger vehicles in Australia is approximately 45% higher than in the European Union. This resource sheds light on the upcoming changes in standards and provides an overview of the new federal strategy, highlighting the need to address Australia’s vehicle emissions and move towards a more sustainable direction.
