| Summary | The Post-Kyoto framework has sketched up a main shaft of “common but differentiated responsibilities”. Thus, countries all over the world face the increasing pressure of the GHG mitigation responsibility. It is also expected that stringent measures would take place. In other words, it is critical and essential to develop an approach to establish a series of strategies responding to the Post-Kyoto period, which can act as an “ability construction” matter, as early as possible. After reviewing the energy saving and carbon reduction measures of transportation of the whole world, developing green transportation systems is the common policy direction that the European Union countries are positively putting emphasis on. This study has completed the content and definition of green transportation and come to conclude that the three guide principles are (1) putting people first, (2) technology application oriented, and (3) pursuing alternative fuel/mode optimal benefit. This study also explored the green transportation policies that people preferred and accepted, and further, discussed the reason why people preferred them. Finally, this study proposed three green transportation planning directions: (1) to promote public transportation and clean vehicles, (2) to limit the use of private cars, and (3) to encourage walking, bicycling, and energy technology. This study suggested concretely that the policy topic related people’s likelihood in the future could be explored by means of the methodology used in this study, and to solidify the common sense. We should set the people’s preference policies into action according to the results. On the contrary, We should promote these policies that infringe on personal preferences and freedoms to people, and make them realize their importance. In this study, we propose some green transportation measures, which could be a used as references for the Institute of Transportation (IOT) not only to propose feasible responding strategies but also to support the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) to initiate concrete action plans. |
