人们普遍认为，当前的客运气候政策不足以实现符合全球气候稳定目标的大幅减排。因此，本文以“路径依赖”概念为出发点（Schwanen 等人，2011 年），并观察到“实施差距”（Banister 和 Hickman，2013 年），这表明由于各种相互关联的“交通禁忌”，欧盟并未出现重大的交通缓解政策，即此类交通政策的设计、接受和实施方面的障碍由于构成政治风险而仍未得到解决。该文件认为，如果不解决交通禁忌，例如个人对交通量和排放的贡献高度不平等、基于市场的计划措施的社会不平等、游说的作用以及流动性的各种社会和心理功能，将仍然难以实现客运交通的大幅减排。然而，欧盟政策制定者在很大程度上仍然忽视了交通禁忌，因为他们的讨论将违反“秩序”，即损害新自由主义治理结构以及建立在这些基础上的交通系统的社会基础和结构中的特定利益。 (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
There is widespread consensus that current climate policy for passenger transportation is insufficient to achieve significant emission reductions in line with global climate stabilization goals. This article consequently has a starting point in the notion of 'path dependency' (Schwanen et al., 2011) and an observed 'implementation gap' (Banister and Hickman, 2013), suggesting that significant mitigation policies for transport do not emerge in the European Union because of various interlinked 'transport taboos', i.e. barriers to the design, acceptance and implementation of such transport policies that remain unaddressed as they constitute political risk. The paper argues that without addressing transport taboos, such as highly unequal individual contributions to transport volumes and emissions, social inequality of planned market-based measures, the role of lobbyism, and the various social and psychological functions of mobility, it will remain difficult to achieve significant emission reductions in passenger transport. Yet, transport taboos remain largely ignored among EU policy makers because their discussion would violate 'order', i.e. harm specific interests within neoliberal governance structures and the societal foundations and structures of transport systems built on these.
