Norway – a carbon neutral society by 2050

Reduce emissions from the transport sector by at least 2.5-4 million tonnes CO2 equivalent by 2020 compared with the baseline scenario

Various measures, including:• Expansion of railways and

other public transport modalities

• Cargo transport by ship and rail

• Research and development to support more climate-friendly transport and distribution of biofuelsSubstantial impact requires effective

measures

The cities Growth must be absorbed by

public transport, walking and cycling

Concentrated use of space Strong emphasis on

• Buses• Urban rail, trams, metros• Railways• Road network for pedestrians

and cyclists Restrictions on car use

Strong regions and more efficient inter-regional transport

Roads Rail Airports Fairways and ports

Some examples:• InterCity rail strengthens the

Eastern region• Expanded capacity at Bergen

Airport Flesland• Shipping fairway to Bergen
