Greenhouse gas from ridership on the Jubilee Line Extension

Abstract

This paper examines changes in travel behaviour associated with ridership on the Jubilee Line Extension in east London, UK and the resulting impacts on greenhouse gas emissions. The paper looks at initial changes in mode choice after the line opened in 1999 and ongoing mode share trends through to 2011. The initial mode shift is assessed through an analysis of published travel survey data and the annual Transport for London Rolling Origin Destination Survey. Longitudinal changes in mode share are assessed using the London Travel Demand Survey and the relationship between metro accessibility and mode choice. From 2000 to 2011 the calculated greenhouse gas savings are 338 ktCO2e; approximately equivalent to the annual average greenhouse gas emissions of 43 000 UK residents.
