Net-Zero Transit: The Future of Eco-Friendly Transportation thoroughly examines the possible future of environmentally friendly transportation, presenting creative approaches and tactics to attain a transit sector with no net emissions. The book explores the convergence of technology, politics, and consumer behavior to provide a comprehensive perspective on achieving environmentally friendly transportation worldwide. The authors illustrate the practicality and advantages of adopting environmentally friendly transportation systems through the examination of real-life examples and the analysis of data. The authors offer practical assistance for establishing sustainable practices in the transit sector by emphasizing successful efforts and innovative solutions. In addition, they provide valuable perspectives on possible obstacles and hurdles that may occur throughout the shift towards achieving net-zero emissions, as well as suggestions for effectively addressing and surmounting them. It uses theoretical analysis and case studies to explore the benefits and challenges of transitioning to a zero-net-carbon transportation system. The economic, social, and environmental impacts of transitioning to net-zero transit are discussed, including the role of government policies, public-private partnerships, and community engagement. The analytical framework of this book encompasses several scenarios, such as the implementation of carbon policy, carbon pricing, carbon offset programs, climate-conscious car-flight-marine pooling, climate-conscious car-flight-marine green gridlock, pedal-walking power progress, and future-proof transportation. It employs real historical datasets from different countries and regions across the globe to forecast future emissions from various transportation modes using a range of machine learning techniques. This book is an invaluable resource for legislators, industry experts, and individuals seeking to promote environmentally friendly transportation solutions and contribute positively to the environment. Its detailed analysis offers actionable insights to policymakers and stakeholders in the transportation industry, enabling them to make well-informed decisions regarding measures to reduce emissions.
