EVALUATING CURRENT
TRANSPORT POLICIESCurrent policies in place make a notable contribution, butthey are not sufficient to achieve Tashkent’s climate goals.

PLANNING AND FINANCING

CURRENT POLICY DIRECTIONS:••••••POLICY RECOMMENDATIONSFOR TASHKENT

New “pool” system for revenue distribution
Metro network extension and restructuring of bus routes
Large-scale bus fleet renewal with electric vehicles
Priority bus lanes on all trunk routes
Implementation of paid parking
Expansion of cycling and pedestrian networks• Restructure system-wide governance and establish aMetropolitan Transport Authority (MTA)• Adopt a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP)The ITF team projects transport-related CO2 emissions inTashkent from 2020 to 2050 under two scenarios:• Baseline scenario: no policy action• Current Policy scenario: implementation of planned policies• Improve and diversify funding streams for public
transport

Annual passenger transport CO2 emissions by scenario(million tonnes)• Adopt data-driven transport planning andpolicymaking

2,5• Integrate land-use and transport development• Modernize procurement by introducing Quality IncentiveContracts

ROAD TODECARBONISATIONThe successful implementation of ambitious policy
measures allows to significantly cut CO2 emissions.
Climate Ambition scenario builds on the enhanced plannedpolicies and new measures from international best practice.

Current Policy changes the main emission trajectory.
However, its impact is limited. The measures
accommodate the rise of transport demand in a moresustainable way, mainly through enhancing public transport
services. A remaining high share of motorised modes and alack of multimodality constrain the positive outcomes.

competitiveness• Leverage micromobility, shared mobility anddigitalisation for convenient multimodal integration• Regulate private mobility to maximize the benefits ofsustainable urban mobility

The policy measures of the Climate Ambition scenario
can achieve a 68% reduction in CO2 emissions in 2050
compared to 2020.

Main insights of the scenario:• Cleaner vehicles are essential for significant emission
cuts• Promoting shared and active mobility is key fordiversifying sustainable transport options• Land use planning can temperate transport demand
growth and contribute to decarbonisation
Additional benefits of the ambitious decarbonisation pathway include:
reduced congestion, traffic safety improvement, positive healthimpacts, enhanced social activity and economic growth.

ABOUT ITF
The International Transport Forum (ITF) at the OECD is anintergovernmental organisation with 64 member countries. Itacts as a think tank for transport policy that covers all modesof transport.
The ITF’s mission is to foster a deeper understanding of
the role of transport in economic growth, environmental
sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profileof transport policy. The ITF acts as a platform for discussion oftransport policy issues. It analyses trends, shares knowledge
and promotes exchange among transport decision-makers andcivil society.

ABOUT SIPA
The ITF carries out the transport-related work of the“Sustainable Infrastructure Program in Asia” (SIPA), afour‑year program (2021-25) led by the OECD to encouragetransition towards cleaner energy, transport and industrial
systems in Central Asia and Southeast Asia.
The ITF contribution to the SIPA study focuses on sustainabletransport infrastructure development in the region, withstudies covering regional and national levels.

NATIONAL ROADMAPSTUDY FOR UZBEKISTAN
The national roadmap study for Uzbekistan developsdecarbonisation pathways for urban passenger transport in
Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It focuses on the role of public transport
and its development. The study comprises four parts:
