  1. ASSIST ASsessing the Social and economic Impacts of past and future Sustainable Transport policy in Europe Overview on the project Dr. Wolfgang Schade / Dr. Michael Krail

  2. Main objective: Provide the EU with sound policy advice on possible social and economic impacts of future sustainable transport policies that could potentially contribute to the strategic objectives of the EU 5 goals to be achieved by ASSIST: Providing policy advice in terms of socioeconomic impact assessment of Transport Policy Measures (TPM) applied in the EU Considering future challenges for the transport system and assessing the impacts with respect to social and economic impacts of traditional TPMs Developing and handing over ASTRA-EC: a powerful tool for assessing social and economic impacts of transport policy Communicating with stakeholders about project findings on TPM and the use of ASTRA-EC Disseminating results on impact of TPMs via the Handbook of Social and Economic Impacts of Sustainable Transport Policy to policy-makers and experts ASSIST: objectivesoftheproject

  3. Transport PolicyMeasures (TPM) in ASSIST • Broad definition of the meaning of transport policy in ASSIST • Covers three topics: • traditional transport policies: e.g. pricing instruments, fuel taxation, regulation/liberalisation of markets • transport infrastructure implementation: e.g. length of networks, connection between modes • transport-technology related measures: e.g. setting standards, R&D support, incentives for consumers TPM in ASSIST

  4. ASSIST: researchconcept • Two connected lines of work: • Desk research on social and economic impacts of TPMs and • Developing the Integrated Assessment Model ASTRA-EC (based on System Dynamics ) and making it accessible to EC • Clustering of TPMs and attributing social, economic and environmental impacts of individual measures • Analysis (quantitative) of TPM under consideration of past impacts and empirical findings in context of future challenges • Analysing single TPMs in context of other measures to point out complementaries/contradictions • Adopting common consensus of the definition of sustainable transport • Continuous internal (via partners and quality board) and external (via stakeholder and experts) quality control • Policy Radar: screening of ongoing policy development (e.g. White Paper)
