Study on Green Transportation System of International Metropolises

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization process, urban traffic congestion is becoming increasingly rigorous, and the contradiction among population, resource and environment is also becoming increasingly prominent. Green transportation is a low-carbon and environmental travelling mode. The active promotion of green transportation is not only good for intensive use of road resources, the ease of traffic congestion, the decrease of energy consumption and the improvement of air quality, but also, as a return to healthy and leisure lifestyles, good for the improvement of citizen health. By systematically analyzing the green transportation development experience of international metropolises during the process of transportation development, this paper identifies the problems that green transportation of Beijing is facing, and proposes countermeasures and suggestions on improving the green transportation system of Beijing and advocating green travelling.
