Update of iMONITRAF! Policy Scenarios 2030

As a basis for setting the future agenda of the iMONITRAF! partnership, the network has developed a new set of policy scenarios for the period up to 2030. The scenarios build on the DPSIR approach developed by iMONITRAF! in 2012, but take into account new trends and developments: technological change in both road and rail is faster than anticipated in the previous scenarios, and the objective of decarbonising transport has gained in importance. The policy scenarios start from a Reference Scenario 2030, which is derived from today's situation. In addition, three policy scenarios based on different assumptions are assessed: a modal shift scenario based on a very ambitious modal shift policy mix, a technology scenario based on an accelerated market diffusion of alternative technologies and a combined scenario integrating the positive aspects of both approaches.
