  1. Introducing transport pricing elements in cities Ivo Cré, Polis, 23 September, Genova Democritos final conference

  3. Cities in the economic crisis Pressure on transport budgets: Cascade effect of budget cuts at national level Decreased national funding schemes Pressure coming from other policy fields (e.g. social issues) Decreased user revenue (?) Preparing the economy for when the crisis is over, including a paradigm shift (e.g. Electrification)? Role of public authorities is double: victim and problem solver Overall need for mobility will not decrease (people and goods)

  4. Cities get their act together With or without a European push… Air quality plans (air quality legislation) Noise Action Plans (Noise legislation) Energy efficiency (20-20-20 targets, Covenant of Mayors) Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (Urban Mobility Action Plan, future of transport white paper) Better information about current and vision about future development of traffic volume and movements Better picture about the future financing need

  5. …so where do pricing measures fit in? Measures that combine demand management with revenue generation are under investigation Cities want to act, few cities want to act first Technological risk Regulatory framework Financial risk (critical mass of technological systems) Political suicide? The challenge of “distributing privilege” European framework needs to be clarified. Good practices around Europe, including Italy

  6. What do cities need? Clear theoretical frameworks: Curacao, Democritos etc… Cap Social trading effect Fairness Boundaries of what can be modelled, where does politics step in? Cooperative European and national authorities Feasible roadmaps for deployment Everywhere – always systems – all modes – models are not realistic First building block: parking New developments, specific areas? Technological building blocks approach of Democritos is very helpful to show that credit and pricing schemes are not ‘futuristic’ “innovation uptake” strategy “Manageable complexity”
