Promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility Through Implementation of Electric Buses: A Case Study of Ostrava
Original language description
We recommend promoting sustainable urban mobility through the implementation of electric buses. To achieve this policy recommendation, we propose to take into account the following: (1) Cities should prioritise the transition to electric and CNG (compressed natural gas) buses for sustainable public transport, considering both ecological and economic impacts; (2) Cities undergoing transition due to the decline of heavy industry can benefit from subsidies supporting sustainable mobility, thereby modernising their vehicle fleet, which has positive ecological and economic impacts; (3) Embrace a multilevel governance approach learning from Ostrava's experience and utilise tailored regional strategies supported by national and EU-level initiatives; (4) Regions with cleaner electricity generation (300 to 600 gCO2eq/kWh) can benefit from using electric buses more than other regions and see a pronounced effect on emissions and sustainability; and (5) As for social impact, passengers in public transport see comfort as the biggest priority, not the environmental impact.
