摘要
由于预计到2015年陆路运输任务，特别是公路运输任务将显著增加，因此许多决策者将在此日期之前很久就考虑某种形式的城市交通环境控制，这一点也不奇怪。一种方法是通过引入一套操作环境障碍。这不是一个新概念。然而，本文提出了一个新的环境倡议的城市交通运营。该计划对营办商和监管机构来说都是简单的，它提出了一个有效和有意义的运营评级系统，反映了营办商在购买设备、日常工作量规划、废物排放政策等方面的内部车队环境政策中可能付出的努力。
三级环境操作员绩效评级计划，E+计划有三个级别的操作员细分。良好的基本可审计环境合规水平、E评级、优秀评级E+和特殊评级将是E双加。目前在澳大利亚可能没有任何车队会获得双加评级。
为什么要有一个道路运输经营者环境评级计划？第一，作为社会及车队营运商本身的衡量基准。第二，一个日益重要的因素是作为货运服务购买者的客户。客户已经在其投标要求中具体说明运输经营者的环境能力和能力。这可以帮助为特定任务选择操作员。例如，对食品敏感的货物处理可能需要采用特定的食品认证计划，如HACCP分类系统。同样，城市快递合同可能会规定ISO 14000框架下的环境证书。但是，客户可以要求哪些更具体的运营商差异化标准？E+系统正是为此目的而设计的。在澳大利亚，一些监管机构和教学中心已经开始对这种运输运营商框架感兴趣。
Abstract
As the land transport task, especially road is expected to increase significantly, by 2015, it would hardly be surprising that many policy makers will look to some form of urban transport environmental control long before this date. One method is via the introduction of a set of operational environmental hurdles. This is not a new concept. However, this paper proposes a new environmental initiative for urban transport operations. The scheme which is simple for both operators and regulators proposes an effective and meaningful operational rating system which reflects the efforts an operator may go to in their internal fleet environmental policies in purchasing equipment, daily workload planning, waste disposals policies etc.
The three tiered environmental operator performance rating scheme, the E-plus scheme has three levels of operator segmentation. A good basic auditable level of environmental compliance, an E rating, an excellent rating E plus, and an exceptional rating would be an E double plus. Probably no fleets currently in Australia would earn a double plus rating at this time.
Why should there be a road transport operator environmental rating scheme? Firstly as a measurable benchmark for the community and the fleet operators themselves. Secondly and a factor of growing importance is for the customers who are the buyers of freight services. Already customers are specifying in their tender requirements that transport operator environmental competencies and capabilities be listed. This may aid the selection of an operator for a specific task. For example; food sensitive freight handling may require specific food certification scheme adoption such as the HACCP classification system. Similarly an urban courier contract may specify, environmental credentials which sit under an ISO 14000 framework. However, what more specific operator differentiation criteria can be requested by the customer? The E plus system is being designed for this very purpose. In Australia some regulators and teaching centres have begun to take an interest in this transport operator framework.
