By the use of the low-carbon traffic model, quantitatively analyzed the current situation of carbon emissions in different modes of urban traffic, this paper emphasized on studying the low-carbon development paths of Qingdao transportation. The results show that, the proportion of CO2 from private cars is the most highest; the increasing number of private cars, and the reduce use of public transport, is the main reason for the increase urban traffic emissions. Through the study of traffic structure, transportation and energy consumption characteristics of Qingdao, low-carbon development paths of Qingdao transportation are proposed from the aspects of urban space, traffic structure, residents travel mode and energy-saving technology.

The development of urban transport in recent years has become one of the most important issues related to improving the quality of life in Polish cities. Excessive pollution in the form of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances from buses affects people’s health as does the excessive noise. This article analysed the measures being taken to reduce emissions, and the results showed that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 28 thousand megagrams (Mg) per annum. Policymakers in Poland should consider limiting electricity generation through coal combustion and recognize, at least temporarily, CNG/LNG-powered buses as low-carbon rolling stock and co-finance their purchase and the necessary infrastructure.
