How it works
Drive with long gears, progressive acceleration and traffic forecasting to reduce consumption, emissions and wear.
It changes the physical, economic and organizational conditions so that walking, pedaling, sharing and using collective transport is viable and attractive.
When does it make sense?
- When deciding location, accesses and parking
- Knowing origins, schedules, capabilities and travel needs
- Where the measure does not displace more inclusive or less impact options
How to apply it
- 1
Defining what need resolves "efficient driving" and establishing a starting situation.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3
Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Less emissions and traffic
More physical activity
More efficient use of space
Limitations and precautions
- Savings are lost without periodic review: habits return to the starting point in a few months.
- An isolated infrastructure can have little effect without continuity, security and operation.
- Accessibility, care, hours and people without alternatives should be considered.
