This report provides an overview of the research conducted for the Promoting Innovative Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Policies and Practices in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Region through the Traveler Behavioral Change project. The report pulls insights from APEC economies using a survey of eight questions. A literature review helped to inform the themes of the questions to address strategies that influence behavior. The survey was distributed through APEC delegates to all APEC economies. Ultimately, 14 government agencies completed the survey. The economies that provided completed surveys include: Australia; Canada; Chile; New Zealand; the Philippines; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; and the United States. These discussions resulted in additional discussions on policies and strategies that encourage travelers to use lower emission mode options. Major themes in changing traveler behavior include land use planning, availability and quality of active transportation, creating and supporting economic conditions for electric vehicles, and investments in transit.
