Zagreb Often a succes! | TIDE – Transport Innovation Deployment for Europe Enhance the broad take-up of 15 innovative urban transport and mobility concepts throughout Europe to establish them as mainstream measures Make a range of new and feasible solutions easily accessible to address key challenges of urban transport such as energy efficiency, decarbonisation, demographic change, safety, access for all, and new economic and financial conditions 18 July 2015 | 3 Spreading Innovation TIDE Innovative Transport and Mobility Concepts Contribution to Mainstreaming Key Target Groups Figure based on Rogers | Thematic cluster 1: New pricing measures •Road user charging in urban areas •Parking charge policies •Market segmentation and price differentiation in public transportation •The cost of parking at privately owned lots – taxation and other economic incentives •Efficient and convenient pricing and charging for multimodal trips | Thematic cluster 5: Public transport organisation • Creation of public transport management bodies for metropolitan areas • Market research as optimization tool in public transport • Contracting of services focused on improvement of passenger satisfaction and efficiency • Integration of collective and individual forms of urban transport • Sustainable urban public transport corridors | TIDE kicking off! Call for Champion Cities to be launched mid December! Survey online until 7 December. 18 July 2015 | 7 What do cities want to achieve with free public transport schemes? ‘Accessibility’ Social inclusion (job seekers, -16/+60) Combat congestion (e.g. Dutch Spitsmijden, corridor approach) Improve the Environmental situation (e.g. Belgian Ozone Plan) Make a mark! (Hasselt, a.o.) Change activity patterns (-16/+60, students) Help people discover the city (tourist schemes e.g. Basel) Increase or change economic activity (Free market bus, job seekers) Road safety (e.g. Free nocturnal PT, New Year’s Night) | Fare box strategies are only one piece of the puzzle... | About accessibility Function of distance traveled per time unit at what cost (financial, physical, psychological) per destination reached Increasing accessibility: “Tamper” with distances speed financial cost physical accessibility psychology (travel horizons) nature and location of destinations | Reduce psychological barriers Simple network Coupling and linking of lines Visualisation Weekend versus week service Simple fare structure | Social Inclusion: Eclipse recommendations Objective Action STEP1 Allow people to access a transport system… Provide a universally designed Public Transport network that is accessible to all STEP2 … that gives access to relevant destinations and services… Give access to specific areas and destinations, bringing services to people STEP3 … and that allows people to participate to society at the fullest. Personalised transport promotion and services. | Kaufmanns Motility Concept Access Modes’ availability Spatial distribution Price Supply Skills Appropriation City image Perception public transport & measure Knowledge of the Values city Habits | Motorisation Parking supply 40% 32% 24,5% 20% 27% 19,5% 12% 9,5% < 350 350 to 450 450 to 550 > 550 > 500 Market share of public transport (mechanised and motorised trips) depending on motorisation rate Volume of supply 100 to 250 250 to 500 Market share of public transport depending on number of parking spaces per 1000 jobs in CBD.

Change activity patterns (spatial planning) Help people discover the city Increase or change economic activity Road safety SUMP! | Economic justification – positive CBA (source TNO) public transport consumers, households companies, facilities society primary beneficiaries: they are the passengers of public transport! secondary beneficiaries: these parties can benefit from consumers using public transport | All costs have to be compensated by benefits Benefits for consumers, households Price of the ticket Benefits for companies, facilities Contracts Benefits for society Subsidies Total: ≥ 100 % of costs | Justification – alternative financing models Third party payment systems (Beer Bus!) Specific fare policies offer the possibility to financially involve other sectors Earmarking specific (new) revenue streams | Justification: Evalution Objectives – targets - indicators Logical chain of objectives – targets – indicators e.g. Congestion Measure congestion More PT passengers A substantial share of which are former car drivers More P&R users Discovering the city Destinations reached Mental mapping | Mitigate adverse effects crowding out soft modes filling in road space dismantling travel chains and combined trips capacity and punctuality problems Lack of opportunity to package mobility solutions Loss of data about the system (free vs open) | Sharing the experiences… Ongoing Polis working group on Social and Economic issues TIDE project 3iBS CIVITAS The Future… Future calls for proposal within the STEER framework Opportunities within the INTERREG framework or the future HORIZON2020 Better be prepared: express your interest! 18 July 2015 | 23 Good luck!
