ITF Transport Outlook 2021
The ITF Transport Outlook 2021 provides scenarios for the development of transport
demand up to 2050. It also models transport decarbonisation scenarios and their impacts
on climate change. Based on this, the ITF Transport Outlook 2021 identifies decisions
that policy makers will need to take to ensure a transition to sustainable mobility
that is effective as well as equitable. This edition includes a special focus on the
impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on transport systems, and models potential long-term
changes with challenges and opportunities for decarbonisation.

Key recommendations
Align Covid-19 recovery packages
Recovery offers a singular chance to combine economic development and increased opportunities
with shifting mobility behaviour and scaling up low-carbon technologies.
Implement ambitious decarbonisation policies
Governments must set themselves ambitious targets and underpin them with concrete
policies to reverse the growth of transport CO2 emissions.
Shift the priority to improving accessibility
Transport planning that serves citizens will consider their desired destinations and
focus on how well transport options connect them.
