1 Best practice examples and research on passenger intermodality in the European Union Šibenik - 18/6/2013, DUNEA l.l.c.

2 Why intermodality?

3 Report on passenger intermodality in the EU Policy background behind intermodal passenger transport EU wide initiatives National initiatives State-of-the-art research on passenger intermodality 6 EU-wide projects 9 national and regional research projects Examples of succesfully implemented intermodal solutions Seasonal traffic increase Ticketing integration Interchanges

4 EU wide policies towards intermodal passenger transport Transport policy white paper (2001) Towards passenger intermodality in the EU (2004) Mid-term review of transport white paper (2006) White paper (2011) - People - Integration - Technology

5 Policy review main barriers Lack of political will and lobby Public transport vs other modes Lack of market data Prevents quantitative discussion on the benefits of investing in intermodality Insufficiently developed laws and regulations across Europe Measures for improvement of intermodality indirectly Focus still mainly on improvements to basic infrastructure Particularly in new EU member states

6 EU-wide research on passenger intermodal transport Towards Passenger Intermodality in the EU LINK GUIDE (Group for Urban Interchanges Development & Evaluation) MIMIC (Mobility, Intermodality and Interchanges) CARISMA-Transport PIRATE (Promoting Interchange Rationale, Accessibility and Transfer Efficiency) UseMobility

7 EU-wide research on passenger intermodal transport key findings Main factors behind switch to intermodal passenger transport Ease of access to information Personal security Short walking distances Ease of change between transport modes Park & ride facilities Ticketing systems integration Flexible system interruptions handling Barriers to the development of intermodality Coordination and cooperation problems Legal and regulatory issues Financial barriers

8 National and regional research on intermodal passenger transport 12 studies 5 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Croatia) Selected due to data availability Survey based data Research objectives Customer satisfaction Motivation for transport change

9 National and regional research on intermodal passenger transport- key findings Objective factors Offer related Subjective factors Offer related Environmental Situational External personal Internal personal

10 Objective determinants of transport mode Costs Parking fees and motorway toll Congestion charges and fuel costs Time spent in travelling and in waiting Important for young people and those under time pressure Structural characteristics of area Population density Shape of the area Settlement structure

11 Subjective determinants of transport mode Safety Traffic safety Personal safety Complexity of journey Information about timetable and prices Number of interchanges Physical accessibility of stops and vehicles for disabled and elderly Baggage handling Socio-demographic characteristics Age Household size Number of children Employment Gender

12 Subjective determinants of transport mode (2) Subjective internal personal factors Reaching destination with ease Social power Social recognition Privacy Adventure orientation Other factors Environmental issues Emotions

13 Best practices of intermodal solutions Coverage of analysis 33 case studies 14 European countries and Japan Key dimensions Seasonal traffic increase Ticketing integration Interchanges

14 Seasonal traffic increase Reduction of car use at destinations Bike rental Taxis or shuttle services Promotion of alternative travel modes through integration of ticketing Journey + concerts etc Park & ride facilities outside cities Integrated with ticket for public transport

15 Seasonal traffic increase (2) Car sharing facilities Bus and train integration Train and bike integration

16 Ticketing integration Heterogeneity across countries Need for standardisation Lack of functional ticketing systems at national and supranational levels

17 Interchanges Preconditions for functional and efficient interchange Information provision Security system Parking facilities Ease of change between transport modes Walking time and distance Shopping and eating facilities

18 Summary of report Identification of policy framework Lack of sufficient policy support Identification of state-of-the art research Identification of best intermodality practices in the EU
