  1. POLICY FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION Transparencies 2003 TRANSPORT TEACHING MATERIAL EU-funded Urban Transport Research Project Results www.eu-portal.net

  2. Key topics Steps of the process Output Policy formulation in transport planning Strategic planning process Transport policy formulation General concept of measures Transport masterplan Political Decision Planning process of the allocated measures Design of the measures Political Decision Implementation of transport measures Implementation process Concept of implementation - Information - Awareness raising Realised / implemented measures Evaluation of success, quality control OVERVIEW: FROM THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION IN LOCAL OR REGIONAL TRANSPORT POLICY BOKU-ITS

  3. STRUCTURE/CONTENTS OF POLICY FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION Transport Planning • Policy Formulation • Planning process • Goals of policy formulation • Problem analysis • Development of scenarios • etc. • Implementation • Realisation of defined measures / plans • Paying attention to social & political acceptability • Quality control • etc. Tools for Implementation Tools for Policy Formulation Scenariotechnique Participationprocess Awarenessraising Participation process Awarenessraising Project management etc. Project management etc. BOKU-ITS

  4. Vision of a Desirable Future Current Development Current Situation Trend Development TRANSPORT POLICY FORMULATION (Drawing: DIETIKER, LOOSER 1985)

  5. Possible Future Scenario “Car Friendly City” Current Development Possible Future Scenario “Environmentally Friendly Transport System” Possible Future Scenario “Trend” Possible Future Scenario “Soft Mobility” WHICH SCENARIO DO WE WANT TO FOLLOW?WHAT IS THE ”RIGHT” POLICY FORMULATION FOR OUR REGION OR CITY? (Drawing DIETIKER, LOOSER 1985)

  6. Defined indicators Determination of the defined indicatorsunder the conditions / measuresof each scenario / alternative Description of each scenario by the indicators Comparison of the impacts / indicatorsof each scenario with the defined goals Evaluation Ranking of scenariosdepending on the fulfilment of the goals ALTERNATIVES AND SCENARIOS – DEFINED INDICATORS (BOKU-ITS; adapted from RVS 2.1, 1984)

  7. ACCEPTABILITY vs. EFFICIENCY OF FUEL SAVING MEASURES Fuel saving vs. Public acceptability of measures Range of Saving (% with respect to reference) Road pricing Park pricing Fuel + 50% Trafficcalming Pedestrianisation & bicycle lanes Reduce bus fares & new PT-supply Bus priority Acceptability (% of acceptance, citizens) EU-PROJECT REFLEX

  8. FUEL SAVINGS OF THE ER (ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCING) – PACKAGES EXAMPLE WIENER NEUSTADT/AUSTRIA Ib/ Fuel-tax + 100% 1528t/a (-24.1%) 1018t/a (-16.1%) X/ All measures 784t/a (-12.4%) Ib/ Fuel-tax + 50% IVb/ Non-motorised traffic 268t/a (-4.2%) Vb/ Parking management 258t/a (-4.1%) 192t/a (-3.0%) II/ Vehicle Tax Va/ Parking management 174t/a (-2.7%) IX/ Transport masterplan 164t/a (-2.6%) IVa/ Non-motorised traffic 134t/a (-2.1%) VIII/ PT-priority+ 100t/a (-1.6%) 68t/a (-1.1%) III/ Speed limit VI/ PT-priority 62t/a (-1.0%) Fuel-saving in ton per year (1996) VII/ Through ticketing 36t/a (-0.6%) 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 EU-PROJECT REFLEX

  9. REASONS FOR DEFICIENCIES IN IMPLEMENTATION • Insufficient awareness of the problem among decision makers • Insufficient persuasive power of traffic experts • Too little acceptance by authorities and the public • No awareness of the problems among media representatives • Gap between attitudes and real behaviour of transport users (attitudes are dominated by social values, personal behaviour is dominated by personal interests) • Lack of acceptance for unpopular, but necessary measures / transport policies for an environmentally friendly and sustainable transport development

  10. Investment & Services Transport infrastructure network Co-ordination of different transport modes Transport system operation Rationalisation of PT etc. Planning Improvement of the PT network Combination of environmentally friendly transport modes Co-ordination of transport planning with urban development etc. EXAMPLES OF MEASURES/INSTRUMENTS OF TRANSPORT POLICY (1) • Information & Information Policies • Information & awareness campaigns • Mobility management • etc. EU-PROJECT TRANSLAND

  11. Regulation Access restrictions for motorised traffic Parking space management Parking licenses linked to car ownership Speed limits Traffic calming Vehicle manufacturing & emission standards Pricing Subsidies Restrictive pricing policies – vehicle tax, fuel tax, parking charges, road pricing, impact fees etc. EXAMPLES OF MEASURES/ INSTRUMENTS OF TRANSPORT POLICY (2) EU-PROJECT TRANSLAND

  12. EXAMPLE:ACCEPTABILITY OF TDM-MEASURES BY TRANSPORT USERS IN SIX EUROPEAN CITIES 1) Package Approach 43,7  Low acceptability (approval rate) for restrictive measures for car traffic  High acceptability for promoting measures of alternative modes 59,1 Access Restriction Park & Ride 92,0 Improve Public Transport 95,9 9,4 Distance based Pricing 14,3 Congestion Pricing Cordon Pricing 16,5 15,6 Increasing parking cost Reducing parking space 19,2 1) Transport pricing package. In: TRANSPRICE report – Public Acceptability of TDM (traffic demand management) in Europe. 0,0 20,0 40,0 60,0 80,0 100,0 120,0 Acceptability of TDM- measures by the population [%] EU-PROJECT TRANSPRICE

  13. EXAMPLE: HOW TO INCREASE ACCEPTABILITY? • Objectives reflecting public concerns, positive aims • Perceived traffic problems • Perception of pricing policies as effective solutions • Package approach – providing alternatives • Trust in the proposed measures and in the use of the revenues • Guarantee of equity • Freedom of choice • New cognitive image of the mobility situation EU-PROJECT TRANSPRICE

  14. We Request: Sufficient space for cars Integration of all transport modes Less separation caused by traffic Save are attractive areas for pedestrians Strict adherence to threshold values of pollutants Promotion of cycling Traffic safety Priority for PT Safe ways to school SNAP-SHOT OF A PARTICIPATION WORKSHOP (Drawing: DIETIKER, LOOSER; in: SELLE 1996)

  15. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLANNING PROCESS - GOALS • Inclusion of all stakeholders • Planning as a joint process • Identification of the stakeholders’ needs • Information of the stakeholders about the planning process • Creation of trust between decision makers, planners and stakeholders • Gaining consensus by balancing of interests during the planning process • Participation as a democratic principle to raise awareness and acceptance of decisions • Mediation and conflict management • Harmony between individual interests and social values (awareness raising helps to harmonise both)

  16. Message • Containing four elements: • objective contents of the message • subjective ”revelation” / input of the ”transmitter” • relationship between the ”transmitter” and the ”receiver” • appeal by the ”transmitter” to the ”receiver” Transmitting person Receiving person is influenced by the manner of information and public relation BASIC PRINCIPLESPROCESS OF INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND MESSAGE TRANSFER BOKU-ITS
