Clean & Low Carbon, Sustainable Transport
Clean Air Institute designs and assists implementation of integrated environmental strategies to strenghten transportation systems for improving air quality, mitigate climate change and simultaneously achieving other environmental, social and economic benefits.
Our programs
SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY
Applied approaches & tools for low carbon mobility
We apply the Integrated Environmental Strategies approach to assist the identification, evaluation and prioritization of high impact, cost-effective, sustainable mobility options. By using this approach, we have assisted a number of national and city governments to develop and implement solutions to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address congestion and diminish accidents.
TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT
Instruments to foster sustainable mobility modes
By combining policy instruments to "push and pull" travel demand, Clean Air Institute assists the development of both public and private tailored projects to transform transport mode distributions in favor of sustainable mobility. Telecommuting, labor schedule management, promotion of cycling & public transport, and parking management, are some of the integrated strategies we use to achieve government and/or corporate goals on emissions, energy consumption and accident goals.
ECODRIVING: ConducE
Saving lives and fuels while reducing emissions
Ecodriving means a smart and efficiente way to drive motor vehicles to improve fuel economy. It represents a new driving culture that optimizes the use of advance vehicle technology while improving road safety. As a key tool for sustainable mobility, it leads to reduce air pollution and mitigate climate change.
MARITIME EMISSIONS
Abate air pollution from ocean going vessels
We provide technical assistance and policy dialogue activities to establish and implement MARPOL Annex VI and Emission Control Areas. MARPOL is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. Specifically, Annex VI of MARPOL focuses in reducing air pollution from ocean-going ships, by establishing establish limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and requiring the use of fuel with lower sulfur content. The overall purpose is to protect people's health and the environment by reducing harmful air pollution levels.
LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT
Reduce freight pollution by optimizing the supply chain
We work with governments and companies to develop and implement integrated solutions to improve efficiency of the supply chain to save fuel and reduce emissions from freight operations. For example, solutions might include freight demand management options such as alternative delivery schedules, preferential freight corridors and improved information systems and associations to optimize freight trips. Traffic management technologies and low emission distribution alternatives are also part of the equation.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND AIR QUALITY REGIONAL PROGRAM (STAQ) FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
This has been one of CAI's most emblematic endeavors. The STAQ Program focuses on: reducing the growth of GHG emissions generated by urban transport in Latin America and the Caribbean by promoting cleaner and more energy-efficient transportation modes; inducing policy changes in favor of sustainable transport projects.
With this, the aim was to raise awareness and promote policy dialogue among decision-makers and other stakeholders at the national and local levels

Maritime traffic and its emissions are rapidly increasing.
​
Ratification of MARPOL Annex VI to control emissions from shipping enable countries to start controlling these emissions.
However, MARPOL Annex VI is insufficient to curb the rise in maritime emissions.
Therefore, countries can request the International Maritime Organization the establishment of Emission Control Areas.
By addressing shipping emissions, countries can significantly enhance health and environmental protection in both coastal and inland areas.
