Plutôt que le gaz, un pont électrique
La possible résurrection du projet GNL Québec, pourtant abandonné depuis longtemps, par Marinvest à titre de « projet d’importance nationale » n’a aucun sens pour le Québec. Soutenir les besoins énergétiques de l’Europe en période de crise peut sembler louable, mais traverser 1000 km de forêt boréale à haut risque pour acheminer du gaz fossile albertain vers un continent européen qui vise la décarbonation d’ici 2040 n’est pas la bonne approche.
Dan Sperling and the Zero Carbon Action Plan
Welcome to Decarbonizing Transportation. Every two weeks (or so) we go deep on one topic and present a roundup of the latest decarbonization news at the bottom of the email. I can’t imagine a better guest for this newsletter than Dan Sperling. He’s been working on transport and climate change since the 1980s. He’s the founding director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis, the leading research center for transportation and the environment in the United States.
New York is proposing a rule that would slow transport electrification
Welcome to Decarbonizing Transportation by Andrew Salzberg. Every two weeks (or so) I go deep on one topic and present a roundup of the latest decarbonization news at the bottom of the email. One of the things I do when I’m not writing this newsletter is work with Transit to try and build a more open, interoperable, and transparent version of digital mobility. If that sounds interesting, join us tomorrow for the launch of a new report.

Decarbonizing Transportation
Here’s the story. I’m starting a newsletter, and I want you to sign up for it. Some of you may know that a lot has changed for me over the last year. I left my role as Director of Transportation Policy at Uber and took up a fellowship at Harvard, using the time to ask one question: how do we rapidly decarbonize transportation? My hope is that we’re at a point of historical inflection on this challenge. The last two years have seen a dramatic shift in the politics of climate change.
A new way of partnering with cities
US | Jan 30, 2018 Written byAndrew Salzberg, Head of Transportation Research and Policy For the first time in many decades, urban transportation is in the midst of rapid change. By turning personal cars into shared vehicles, services like Uber have been able to deliver new mobility benefits to riders in cities around the world. But this growth has also challenged cities that need to ensure that new technology brings maximum benefits to their citizens.
Introducing Uber Movement
US | Jan 8, 2017 Written byJordan Gilbertson, Product Manager and Andrew Salzberg, Head of Transportation Policy Every hour of every day, people use Uber to get around the more than 450 cities we serve. From Sydney to Summit, we’ve been working hard to get to know these cities, with the goal of making them cleaner, more efficient and less crowded.
Expanding Affordable, Sustainable Transportation Options with JUMP Bikes | Uber Newsroom
At Uber, our vision for the future is one where everyone, wherever they live and whatever their income, has access to affordable, reliable transportation. It’s why we have a variety of options – from POOL to uberX and uberBLACK – to help people get where they want to go at a price point that works for them. Starting next week, we’re taking another step towards our vision, by piloting Uber Bike by JUMP – a bike share option – in San Francisco.
American Leadership on Climate is Vital
Last year 195 nations signed an agreement that has the potential to change the world’s direction on climate change. As part of the historic Paris Accord, these countries banded together to support serious climate action and commit to keeping global temperatures from rising more than two degrees celsius. Today’s announcement from President Trump that the United States will not honor the agreement is a huge disappointment.
Uber + Transit Makes it Easy to be Multimodal
Getting around their city for many riders is a multimodal affair. Here in SF for instance, a rider may take an uberPOOL to the Burlingame Caltrain station, take the Caltrain to 4th & King St, and then walk a few blocks to their SOMA office or the ballpark. But keeping tabs on upcoming departure times for the train while in an Uber means toggling between apps.
Introducing Uber Movement
Every hour of every day, people use Uber to get around the more than 450 cities we serve. From Sydney to Summit, we’ve been working hard to get to know these cities, with the goal of making them cleaner, more efficient and less crowded. Along the way, we’ve found that local leaders, urban planners, and civic communities are all working to crack their city’s commute and figure out how best to invest in new infrastructure.
Uber + Public Transit: Changing Southern California’s Car Culture
Los Angeles is often described as the epicenter of America’s car culture. As automobiles became increasingly affordable in the mid-20th century, the streets of LA were flooded with an average of 45,000 new cars a year, and freeways were constructed to accommodate growing geographic sprawl and personal car ownership. Today the Greater LA area is home to some 14 million people spread out over more than 500 square miles, owning an average of 2 cars per household [1].
All aboard! New report finds that ridesharing complements public transit – Uber Under the Hood
Here at Uber, we’ve always believed that ridesharing is an important complement to public transportation. We’ve seen how riders are using Uber to travel the last mile between their homes and the nearest transit station and we’ve partnered with third party app developers and transit agencies to make those connections more seamless. Today, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) released an independent study that supports this emerging consensus.
