Urban Transport Decarbonization

#00051

Even in cities with high public transit use, remaining car trips, freight, and last-mile delivery generate substantial emissions. Electrifying bus fleets, expanding cycling infrastructure, and shifting freight to low-carbon modes requires massive capital investment and behavioral change, while EV adoption is constrained by charging access — especially for tenants who cannot install home chargers.

Basel-Stadt already achieves a 63% active transport modal split with only 20% car use, but reaching carbon neutrality requires eliminating remaining fossil transport emissions. BVB is converting to a fully electric bus fleet by 2027 at CHF 360 million. The Umweltprämie offers CHF 1,500 for car deregistration with 400 slots. Tenant EV charging remains the single biggest barrier to further progress.
