“…Each province should develop policies and measures to guide and encourage green logistics development, regulate market order and business behavior, and continuously improve laws and regulations related to the green logistics industry; for example, by developing policies pertaining to carbon emission standards, emission reduction, vehicle emission regulation, and logistics route optimization for green logistics requirements. Furthermore, provincial governments should plan the construction of green logistics [47], green storage [48], and other transportation infrastructure and logistics parks; avoid duplicate construction; strengthen cooperation to allocate logistics resources more efficiently; reduce congestion and transportation waste [49]; and improve the efficiency of transportation and distribution services [50] with a limited amount of input.…”

This paper develops an index system for assessing green logistics efficiency in Northwest China with the goal of “double carbon” (peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality). The study employs a three-stage data envelopment analysis model of super efficiency to assess the spatial and temporal efficiency of the green logistics industry in Northwest China from 2010 to 2019. Our findings reveal that the overall logistics efficiency in Northwest China fluctuates. Each province has a high pure technical efficiency, but significant regional differences in comprehensive technical efficiency and scale efficiency are apparent. In Northwest China, government support and science and technology levels have a greater impact on green logistics efficiency. Based on the implementation of the “double carbon” strategy, this study offers pertinent insights and suggestions for the high-quality development of the green logistics industry in Northwest China.

“…This related to one of Thredbo's core concerns of choosing suitable mode options and opened the discussion of the issues around the selection of public transport infrastructure type to facilitate multimodal integration. Two other papers looked at the evaluation of travel demand management (TDM) policies in terms of multimodal integration, including 'Integrated transport demand management: Lessons from a Chinese city' (Wei et al 2019) and 'Competence distribution and policy implementation efficiency towards sustainable urban transport: a comparative study' (Shibayama, 2019). A different angle of discussion on multimodal integration in the rural areas was introduced by 'On the role of frameworks and smart mobility in addressing the rural mobility problem' (Mounce et al, 2019).…”

“…Wei et al ( 2019) provided a detailed examination of integrated TDM packaging, critical to devising and implementing an effective program of TDM and the discussion centred on how this Chinese case study highlighted the gap between the initiated TDM packaging and its effectiveness and how TDM effectiveness was compromised primarily by governance factors. The governance issue was a common theme for this area with Shibayama (2019) reinforcing the way cities with more integrated competences at both regional and local level tended to provide more integrated public transport policies. Much discussion centred on the way that integration can lead to better sustainability by assisting the modal shift from the private car to the other modes.…”

“…In the European urban context, the uptake of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans [ 39 , 45 ] accelerated the diffusion of goal-oriented planning in urban areas, and evidence about its efficiency is gradually cumulating (e.g. [ 41 ]. Meanwhile in the context of rural areas and on the nationwide scale, it still remains relatively novel.…”

Background We present a sketch for a nationwide “Mobility Service Guarantee” (MSG) for Austria. The approach follows a new paradigm, turning away from car-centric transport policy and planning and towards the extensive provision of public transport. The approach is complemented by the provision of demand-responsive transport services and the support of vehicle sharing as well as active mobility. This combination should serve as an effective alternative option to the use of private cars. Purpose The aim of this study is to develop a tangible definition of a nationwide MSG in the Austrian context as well as possible design scenarios. Methods We took a multi-dimensional approach, using literature review to research existing concepts of mobility guarantees, analysing secondary data on current mobility behaviour and public transport provision and conducting stakeholder workshops. Results We define possible scenarios envisioning a nationwide MSG including different extents of maximum distance to public transport stops and minimum frequency. We discuss the limitations of the MSG with respect to spatial, temporal and modal coverage, as well as how such a guarantee could be embedded in the existing legal system. Conclusions We conclude that a nationwide MSG could be an important element of sustainable transport policy that should be embedded in a wider strategy of infrastructure and service design as well as demand management.
