%X The adoption of environmentally friendly transportation is essential for sustainable development. Although numerous policies promote public bus transport, there has been insufficient analysis of their actual impact. This article presents a new framework that integrates demand, supply and electricity consumption using the A-S-I-F-E (Activity, Shift in modal share, change in Intensity, change in Fuel and Electricity generation). The study examines the impact of a transport policy on carbon emissions through a case study on the renovation and electrification of the bus fleet in the Piedmont Region. A pseudo-panel approach, based on household surveys from 2013 to 2022, is employed. Results indicate a significant increase in public bus transport following the application of the Synthetic Difference-in-Difference (SDiD) method. In terms of emissions, reductions in CO, NOX, CO2, PM2.5 and CH4 were observed, while emissions of NMVOCs and N2O increased. Consequently, combining demand- and supply-side should be promoted to reduce emissions effectively.
