What is the Catalogue of Policy Measures?
Read our blog post on the launch of the CPM 2.0!
The Catalogue of Policy Measures toward Sustainable Mobility (CPM) is a unique global repository of more than 190 policy instruments available to country decision-makers to achieve sustainable mobility. The CPM represents the distilled expertise and collective thinking of 56 international organizations and practitioners in the field.
Each policy instrument is assessed on three criteria: impact score on policy goal, country-relevance score, and resilience score.
Policy instruments in the CPM are categorized into four toolboxes:
-
Regulatory and Institutional: It comprises plans and strategies for the transport sector; cooperation and coordination across transport stakeholders; regulations (for cross-border transport, transport services, vehicles, and vehicle use, use of data); procurement and contracts, as well as capacity building.
-
Engineering and Technology: It includes the design, provision, and maintenance of transport infrastructure and transport services; the setting of technical standards; asset construction; and safeguards.
-
Economics and Finance: It covers actions such as financing, pricing, taxes and subsidies, innovation policy, and cost-effectiveness.
-
Communications: It covers stakeholder consultations and public campaigns to influence behavioral change, such as product labeling, and knowledge management.
The original CPM which was published in 2019 in the Global Roadmap of Action towards Sustainable Mobility (GRA) and included 180 policy instruments, was further upgraded in 2022 as follows:
-
12 policy instruments were added to account for sanitary risks in the face of the COVID 19 pandemic (For example, added measures include “enhanced sanitary protocols in passenger transport”, “use of transport operator data to inform policy response”, and the “support of cross-border trade of essential goods during crisis response”).
-
More granularity on several policy instruments is reflective of additional work done by the Partnership on data sharing, e-mobility, and transport and energy nexus. This work was also released under the GRA in Action Series.
Why is the CPM important?
The CPM compiles the collective knowledge of 56 international organizations and private companies on instruments available to country decision-makers on how to achieve sustainable mobility. It is a one-stop tool that enables users to access curated global policy knowledge on transport policy.
How does the CPM work?
The CPM is available online by clicking on the Policy Module of the Policy Decision Making Tool for Sustainable Mobility and is updated regularly with case studies and actionable policy guidance.
