Transport: In focus
- 1. Massive car fleet
1, 755,264
vehicles
32,977
public transport vehicles 65 taxi per 10,000 inhabitant UK 36 Spain 6.5 France 3.8
Vehicle fleet distribution
- 2. High ownership rate and low
- ccupancy rates
2.8 per car 1.2 per taxi 6 per van 12 per bus
- 3. Old fleet
- 4. Heavy congestion
BEIRUT 230,000 vehicles 85,000 vehicles
- 5. Harmful driving patterns
Low driving range with a high rate of congestion and frequent stops at short time intervals Inefficient operation of internal combustion engines & high rate of fuel consumption

Mitigation strategies: Process for reducing GHG and pollutant emissions
reduce nb- f
- ccupancy
Revitalize public transport systems Renew existing passenger cars fleet Optimize road networks Demand management strategy Legislative reforms
Sustainable Mobility Strategy
Mitigation factors Mitigation strategies Endorsement strategiesOngoing efforts
Master plan of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport
- Implementation of phase 1 of the rail
transportation plan
- Deployment of a Bus Rapid Transit
- Revitalization of the public buses inside cities
- Traffic management in GBA
- Improved infrastructure
Ongoing efforts
National Air Quality Strategy
- Draft strategy and action plan
- National network of air quality stations for
criteria air pollutions (18 stations)
- Air quality index (sensio air application)
Ongoing efforts
Fleet renewal programme
- Project on the Lebanese fleet renewal through
a scrapping scheme
- The 15 million USD project is being presented
as a NAMA to the UNFCCC for potential funding opportnities
