Israel’s Ministry of Transportation has introduced a national
strategy aimed at reducing reliance on private cars and increasing
the share of trips made by sustainable transport to about 70% in
major urban areas by 2050, AzerNEWS reports.
According to TPS-IL, the initiative is intended to improve
long-term mobility for Israeli residents, enhance access to
employment hubs and essential services, and strengthen nationwide
connectivity while decreasing private vehicle usage. It targets a
future modal split where roughly 70% of journeys are made via
sustainable transportation, with private cars accounting for around
30%.
The national plan includes an investment of hundreds of billions
of shekels by 2050 in developing the road network, Israel Railways,
the Dan Bloc (Tel Aviv area) Metro, light rail, traffic control
systems, buses, and walking and cycling infrastructure.
Israel’s main mitigation target is to reduce per capita
greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve that, the government of Israel
wants to produce 17% of electricity from renewables and shift 20%
of transportation from cars to public transport by 2030.
