Smart strategies for private vehicle ownership and usage in Chengdu
Smart Strategies for Private Vehicle Ownership and Usage in Chengdu is a transportation project of WRI China/EMBARQ China, funded by the Caterpillar Foundation. The working paper draws on the experience of Chinese and international cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, London, and New York, to suggest steps by which the city of Chengdu can adopt a Transport Demand Management (TDM) approach, i.e. a wise approach to the use of individual vehicles. The aim of this study is to offer detailed policy solutions for Chengdu policy-makers for traffic congestion, which has become a growing problem globally and especially in Chinese cities because of the rise in the number of private cars.

Key Findings
前言
“成都市小汽车拥有与使用政策战略研究”项目是“可持续及宜居城市项目”下的一个项目。这个项目由世界资源研究所（World Resources Institute）实施，并且由卡特彼勒基金会资助，通过分析目前机动化所带来的挑战，为成都市提供具体的政策解决方案，从而缓解急速增长的私家车造成的城市交通拥堵问题。本文对多个国际城市实施交通需求管理（Transport Demand Management, TDM）的时间点和力度进行扫描，找出这些案例的成功模式。通过与国际案例的对比，发现成都目前的TDM政策存在时间晚、力度弱等问题；进而提出对改进成都TDM政策的分步骤和分阶段性建议。建议通过小汽车总量控制、停车管理（包括增加停车费）和其他的经济手段来控制小汽车的拥有和使用。本文可以为政府决策者提供参考，也可以帮助普通民众提高认识。通过对控制小汽车等TDM政策的实施，不但可以解决成都未来的交通拥堵问题，也会对空气质量和温室气体减排起到积极的作用，此外本文也会为其他机动化高速发展的城市提供借鉴。
