Course Overview
Low Emission Zones and Traffic Safety Co-Benefits Training Course
Introduction
The rapid urbanization and growing traffic congestion in cities worldwide have escalated air pollution and road safety challenges. Low Emission Zones (LEZs) have emerged as a pivotal urban strategy, combining sustainable mobility, carbon footprint reduction, and public health protection. LEZs not only mitigate vehicular emissions but also enhance traffic safety, reduce accident hotspots, and encourage the adoption of green transportation solutions. Cities implementing LEZs have witnessed measurable improvements in air quality, urban livability, and multimodal mobility. Low Emission Zones and Traffic Safety Co-Benefits Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of LEZ policies, evidence-based traffic safety measures, and their co-benefits, equipping participants with the knowledge to implement effective urban interventions.
Participants will explore cutting-edge data analytics, policy frameworks, and technological innovations to optimize LEZ implementation. The course emphasizes the integration of traffic safety co-benefits, including pedestrian and cyclist protection, speed management, and road infrastructure redesign. Through case studies, interactive workshops, and scenario-based learning, participants will develop skills to analyze urban mobility patterns, evaluate emission reductions, and assess safety outcomes. By combining environmental sustainability and traffic risk mitigation, this training empowers urban planners, policymakers, and transport professionals to design resilient, safe, and low-emission cities for the future.
