Maurizio Tomassini S.T.A.- The Mobility Agency of the City of Rome Final conference Bruxelles, 13 December 20

This document presents the contribution of the City of Rome's Mobility Agency in implementing a successful access control system for the Limited Traffic Zone (LTZ). It also discusses the potential benefits of integrating road pricing to further enhance demand management. The study analyzes data on access flows, violations, and environmental indicators, as well as proposes a new scenario for road pricing in Rome.

  1. A contribution from the City of Rome Maurizio Tomassini S.T.A.- The Mobility Agency of the City of Rome Final conference Bruxelles, 13 December 2002

  2. Limited Traffic Zone: Access Control Access Control: Limited Traffic Zone • Area: about 5 km2; • 22 Access Roads • 42,000 Residents, • 12 Ministries, Municipality’s Offices, Corporate HQs • Tourist Sites • TIME ENFORCEMENT • Working day: 6.30-18.00 • Saturday: 14.00-18.00 • Holiday: no enforcement 5,5 Km2 • 22 entrance gates (29 lanes)

  3. Access Control System Architecture Transponder I.R. T.V. camera OBU OBE OBU Local Gate Control System ISDN Central Access Control System

  4. Access Comparison (Oct. 2000 vs Oct. 2001) 2000 2001 - 20%

  5. Total daily access

  6. Daily violations: N & %

  7. Some general Data After 1 year • DEMAND TO LTZ • Average daily access = 130.000 • Average access during enforcement period (06.30 - 18.00) = 70.000 • Average access during evening hours (18.00 - 23.00) = 35.000 • NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS • Average daily violation = 7.000 ( 10% of accesses) • Violation in the first year = 2 millions (done by 0.5 millions of vehicles) • Value of fines in the first year = 130 millions of € • AVAILABILITY OF THE SYSTEM • Availability = 99% • Faults = 1% (due car accidents involving the hardware installed in the gates)

  8. Access Control: Benefits • Access flows: - 15/20% • Average speed (inside) : + 4% • T.P. passengers (local) : + 5% BUT • Two wheels (access): +10% • Pollution concentration • CO, benzene: reductions, almost compensated by the “two wheels effect”

  9. E-scooters renting service 300 e-scooters 100 e-scooters

  10. Parcheggio Annibaliano Parcheggio Angelo Emo Piazza Verdi Via del Melone Via Ostiense Via Appia Nuova Piazza Mastai E- Vehicles recharging facilities

  11. Access Permits Distribution Residents Services Non Residents Disables Freight Flat fare : 340 €/y Total: 155.000

  12. Access Permits Use

  13. From flat to per-trip fares SimulationResults • No substantial changes are expected, in terms of overall modal split • Relevant modifications occur when mopeds are charged: decrease in trips through LTZ • The effects on environmental indicators is much more relevant than on modal split,

  14. Pure road pricing Mode split in the morning peak hour Fare to be applied to have the current modal split €

  15. Traffic into TLZ (Monthly average) (Oct. 2000-2001-2002)

  16. Day traffic into and around TLZ At the TLZ border Morning peak hour > evening Opposite situation for the traffic into TLZ

  17. A new scenario for pure R.P. Time window: 6.00 p.m. - 11.00 p.m. Status • A large amount of through traffic • Different categories of users (non-systematic prevailing) Hypothesis • No access restriction operational (everybody can access the area)

  18. Change of trips to LTZ Car: 6 € PT:+10% Car:3 € PT:+10% Car:3€ Car:6€

  19. Change of trips crossing LTZ Car: 6 € PT:+10% Car:3 € PT:+10% Car:3€ Car:6€

  20. The Road Pricing in Rome The Road Pricing in Rome Definition of the possible RP in Rome • Counts, Surveys and Modelling activity Evening scheme (18.00 -23.00) • Surveys • Modelling • Design of demo Full scale Pricing (flat fare) 06.30 - 18.00 • Facing the solution for permits request management (from 50 to 155 thousand) • White lists management • Fines emission and delivery process • Apply a fare to residents ?

  21. Closed Area Pedestrian Areas Guarded gates Closed Area Admitted Vehicles Disabled persons Public Local Transport Bicycles Loading / unloading goods (24.00 - 10.00) A X-mas gift: pedestrian area within TLZ

  22. A decision to support strong TDMS New General Urban Plan New Roads Reserved to P.T.

  23. In Conclusion: • Access control to LTZ is a very effective demand management policy; • a mixture of access control and pricing can give high flexibility to policy implementation; • awareness, consensus, fair pricing, social exclusion, safety are key issues • international (European) co-operation is essential to success
