1 PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITIES: THE ENGINE OF EFFICIENT AND INCLUSIVE URBAN AREAS ANDREW BATA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NORTH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT ()

2 VISION We are working to enhance quality of life and economic well-being by supporting and promoting sustainable transport in urban areas worldwide 2

3 A diverse membership All urban mobility stakeholders All urban and suburban modes Operators, including new players Authorities Policy decision-makers Research institutes Supply and service industry 3

4 MISSIONS We engage with decision-makers, international organisations and other key stakeholders to promote and mainstream public transport and sustainable mobility solutions. We inspire excellence and innovation by generating and sharing cutting-edge knowledge and expertise. We bring people together to exchange ideas, find solutions and forge mutual beneficial business partnerships. 4

5 MOBILITY: ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES FOR CITIES Population growth, climate change, traffic congestion and pollution, lack of adequate and affordable housing, education and health, among many other pressing issues. Mobility is at a turning point experiencing an important transition. The future of our cities depends on it. 5

6 CITIZEN PERSPECTIVE: LIFESTYLE & TRENDS 6

7 WHAT FUTURE DO WE WANT? 7

8 CITY PERSPECTIVE : THE BENEFITS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT CO2 emission and climate change Pollution and health Congestion and economic performance Space and quality of life Energy efficiency 8

9 HEALTHY CITIES 9

10 CITY PERSPECTIVE : PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF SPACE 10 Daily trips in urban areas worldwide are going to rise to 11.5 billion in 2025

11 CONGESTION (DIS)SOLVER The extension of the Green line on the Delhi Metro (Inderlok - Mundka) reduces travel time by more than 50% for many commuters, in turn helping to ease congestion on grid-locked roads

12 ECONOMIC STRENGTH Better connectivity drives higher job density and productivity gains for businesses. «Wider» economic benefits of large projects exceed initial investment. Crossrail (London) Grand Paris Express WEB: up to 18bn GBP (vs. 15bn GBP invest.) 12 WEB: 29bn EUR (vs. 23bn EUR invest.)

13 ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT Public transport contributes to the competitiveness of the city. It generates value for citizens, businesses, and public authorities (higher tax revenues). Long term funding commitment by public authorities pays off: the value created exceeds 3 to 4 times the initial investment. 13

14 WHERE DO WE WANT TO LIVE? Accessible, safe, competitive, efficient and inclusive cities Pillars: Vision Adequate governance and regulation Stable funding framework Long term political commitment 14

16 WHY A PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (PTA)? A need to organise Urban Mobility Systems Beyond economic and financial concerns Urban Mobility Systems are enablers to improve cities competitiveness and quality of life. considers that this is a cultural and organisational issue: the way we conceive transport interventions focuses on mobility, that is the «ease of moving» and neglect the broader impacts on the city and people living conditions. - Need to focus on impacts and how transport helps the city. - Need to change the way we organise mobility 16

17 WHY A PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (PTA)? PTA as a good practice Where there is a PTA, Urban Mobility Systems are considered as better organised: Planning of Multi-modal Public Transport infrastructures and services Establishment of an integrated fare system Development of a management policy and finance framework of the System Audit the integration of public transport with new urban planning. Creation of an overall Image of the Public Transport System CONSIDERING RAIL : PTAs permit to integrate rail infrastructures rail is not a door to door solution therefore there is a need to adopt an holistic approach of mobility to ensure they will get travel s bulkshare 17

18 CRTM MADRID S PTA The establisment of CRTM improved the organisation of Urban Mobility System that led to PT increased ridership! 18

19 BUT NO ONE FITS ALL SOLUTION PTAs all over the world vary in size and competencies, they evolve over time driven by complex socio-political forces. There is no one fit all solution or standard model context matters! Some concentrate on Public Transport modes only while others manage roads and infrastructures as well The trend is to make them as MOBILITY AGENCY and sometimes with responsibilities in LAND DEVELOPMENT They also have diverse source of funding 19

20 GLOBAL PTAS LANDSCAPE LONDON Transport for London (TfL) Responsibilities: Responsible for PTs PT integration (fare/ticketing/information) London s strategic highways Cab licencing Territory: Greater London 1580km2 Modes Metro, LRT, overground, train, bus Funding of PT: Fare + Grant +congestion charging+ other commercial services + potentially land value capture Relationship with the operators: Competitive tendering for surface transport (bus + LRT and overground) For bus: route based tender 5 +2 yearscontracts based on service specification, timetable (frequencies) + detailed vehicle specifications TfL s Subsidiaries for underground. 20

21 GLOBAL PTAS LANDSCAPE Paris Iles de France Mobilités Responsibilities Mobility planning Definition and organisation of PT Fare policy Level of offer for each network Objectives of service quality Territory Region 12000km2 Modes Metro tram RER Buses Funding of PT Public subsidies, transport taxes, fares Relationship with the operators: RATP SNCF Optile 21

22 GLOBAL PTAS LANDSCAPE Hamburg: HVV Responsibilities: PT/ PT integration (fare + information) Planning Marketing Territory: 5600km2 Modes Railway,Sbahn, metro, ferry, bus Funding of PT: fare, subsidies, alternative commercial services sophisticated way to distribute revenues among stakeholders Relationship with the operators: Transport alliance first funded by private operators (1965) to overcome the problems of coordination of having independant transport systems. Now it is a mix of authorities and operators that ensures integrated mobility on a given area. Competitive Tendering and Direct Award numbers of operators 31 Cooperation contracts 22

23 GLOBAL PTAS LANDSCAPE Singapore: LTA Responsibilities: Integration between transport and land use Policy, planning and regulation of all public transport modes Constructs and maintains roads Does not set fares Territory: city-country 712 km2 Modes Funding of PT: Subsidies limited to capital expenditures Operational expenditures covered by fares Relationship with the operators: History 70 s: monopoly + paratransit characteristics of developing countries 1987: delivery of mass transit system need for integration 1995: establishment of LTA rationalisation of bus routes Present: period of transition for buses: from 2 operators towards a contracting and tendering model Light regulation of taxis 23

24 THE ROLE OF RAIL On major corridors, rail is unbeatble mode of transport for MASS TRANSIT Capacity Speed Reliability Comfort Energy efficiency 24

25 INTERNATIONAL METRO BENCHMARKING Demand : use intensity Million trips per km of available metro infrastructure Japan : 11 cities Chile : 1 city France : 6 cities Brazil : 8 cities Argentina 1 city USA : 17 cities Spain : 7 cities data 2017 (yet unpublished) When metro service is provided, Brazilians use it!

26 INTERNATIONAL METRO BENCHMARKING Supply: metro sevice availability Km of available metro infrastructure per million urban population (in the cities with metros) Japan : 11 cities Chile : 1 city France : 6 cities Brazil : 8 cities Argentina 1 city USA : 17 cities Spain : 7 cities data 2017 (yet unpublished) Brazilian cities need more metros!

27 CONCLUSIONS A massive shift to PT brings a sustainable future for people and business. PTA and integrated PT systems as the backbone Investing in efficient and sustainable transport will help solving many urban challenges In large cities, rail IS the backbone 27

28 IN A NUTSHELL... A massive shift to public transport contributes to a sustainable future for people and business. Investing in efficient and sustainable transport will help solving many urban challenges. Public transport means progress for societies and can provide citizens with an attractive mobility package.
