COPING WITH PEAK OIL AND GLOBAL WARMING
IN AUSTRALIAN CITIES

ABSTRACT
 
Australia is a highly urbanised nation and its cities are amongst the most car dependent in the world. This paper examines how their transport systems will be impacted by peak oil and global warming, and the options for mitigating these impacts. Scenarios for future oil prices and availability, energy efficiency measures, transport investment options and travel behaviour change will be examined to test the likely effects on accessibility and equity in inner and outer suburbs and for different income groups, using detailed analysis of travel patterns. This will be used to examine policy implications for government in addressing these issues.
