• 1. OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSPORT SECTOR IN TURKEY

Future Expectations and Targets related to Carbon Emissions

Road Transport Sector

• Reaching a total of 37000 km

divided roads including 8000 km motorway length.

• Connecting Black Sea region with

South East and Mediterranean regions with high quality roads. Railway Transport Sector

• Reaching a total of 25000 km

rail length.

• Renovation of 4400 km

railway track

• Completion of liberalization

process.

• 1. OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSPORT SECTOR IN TURKEY

Airway Sector

• Increasing the passenger

capacity of airports to 450 million passengers/year.

Maritime Sector

• Harmonizing the Transport

Coastal Structures Master Plan and Integrated Coastal Zone Planning

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Legislative Barriers

• Lack of specific targets especially quantitative measures in policy documents
• Existence of controversial objectives
• Lack of budget planning in documents

Opportunities  Availability of adopted EU policy documents

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Political Barriers

• Insufficient alignment of numerous policy documents
• Very vague definition of objectives, targets, and actions/ measures
• Lack of measurable, reportable and verifiable indicators.
• Lack of ex-ante evaluation of the eventual environmental effect of the identified

policies, measures and actions. Opportunities  Gradual harmonization with relevant EU legal base

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Institutional: Barriers

• Coordination problems among institutions
• Lack of efficient data collection and management systems about emissions from

transport Opportunities  Harmonization and improvement of data management procedures including data collection, processing, registration and storing.

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Human Capacity: Barriers

• Low skills in the institutional bodies

Opportunities  Development of awareness raising actions and projects

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Economic: Barriers

• The growing Turkish economy
• Structure of Turkey’s economy
• Airway intensive tourism sector

Opportunities  Alternative low carbon modes for freight transportation

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Financial: Barriers

• Taxation policy
• Liberalization of railway sector

Opportunities  Potential change in the heavy dependence on the imported energy resources

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Social: Barriers

• Increase in population
• Migration from rural areas to cities and fast urbanization:
• Mentality behind private car preference
• Public perception on airway transportation

Opportunities  Opportunity to shift from cars to public transport

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Technological: Barriers

• Current inefficient road and rail infrastructure

Opportunities  Reorganizing railway sector and infrastructure  Developing intermodal and combined transportation  Deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS)  Potential for developing vehicle and fuel technologies  Big data applications

• 2. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES (B&O‘s) IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Conclusions:

• Technological innovations, building institutional capacity and raising

awareness of the society  most effective and efficient tools to start practical works for decarbonisation

• In short to medium term  actions will pave the path towards challenging

changes.

• Modal shift

– from road and aviation to rail, maritime and intermodal – significant reduction in transport emissions

• In urban areas

– promotion and persistent development of public transport services on the account of individual modes

• 3. FUTURE POTENTIALS

In passenger transportation (intercity)

• Support for “shared ride” modes

– rail (conventional or HSR) and intercity bus services, – Modernization/integration to increase their shares

• HSR services, to increase emission reduction performance

– if new HSR lines can create a network effect – Energy source for electricity can be from low-carbon solutions – Supplementary policies to increase demand (different pricing, combined transportation bus-rail-bus, etc.)

• Maritime transport  may not provide enough time savings (and have competitive

power against other modes) !!

• 3. FUTURE POTENTIALS

In freight transportation (intercity) Difficult to change truck dominancy, but possible actions:

• Efficiency in truck loading can be increased by introducing load sharing initiatives,

consolidation centres, etc. – logistic master plan

• Minimization of the use of old trucks

– introduction of financial incentives for new environmentally friendly trucks.

• Encouraging intermodal transportation between road-rail, rail-maritime, etc.

transport  ? ?

• At intra city transportation, modal shift from private; to public

transport for trip>2km and to biking or walking for trip <2 km  ? ?

• ITS for intermodalism demand management
• Vehicle fuel efficiency (increasing rates of the Hybrid and LPG and

electrical vehicles) 
