Access restrictionsAccess restrictionsAccess restrictionsAccess restrictions Results

• Major inner-city areas regulated in Barcelona, Bristol, Cork, Gdynia, Nantes & Rome

Impacts

• Significant noise & air quality improvements

• Reductions of congestion

• High appreciation of residents, shopowners, couriers (after strong initial oppposition)

Lessons

• Extremely effective tool for better air quality (quality of life in general)

• Must be part of a "package" & must include consultation

Integrated pricingIntegrated pricingIntegrated pricingIntegrated pricing Results

• Congestion charging in Stockholm & time-based access pricing in Rome (& several studies)

• Less traffic (e.g. –25% Stockholm)

Impacts

• Air quality (& "liveability") improved (e.g. –40% CO2, –13% PM in Stockholm)

• Successful demand management tool

Lessons

• Must be part of a package

• Good public communication & consultation are crucial

• Acceptance of most affected groups can be gained after successful operation

Car sharing & car poolingCar sharing & car poolingCar sharing & car poolingCar sharing & car pooling Range of 12 measures

• Car pooling for employees

• Business users as target groups

Impacts

• Mature concept with reproducable benefits (environment, user acceptance, urban space, public transport loyalty)

• Economically profitable

Lessons

• Not owning, but using a car (& paying only by its use) is still a "cultural revolution"

• Supporting measure with a long-term effect on lifestyles

realistic to assume

• 20% shift from car to collective transport

• 20% bus fleet renewal (from diesel to CNG)

Overall added value compared to "business as usual" scenario (2010)

• NOx –12% SO2 –17% PM –15%

CIVITAS OutcomesCIVITAS OutcomesCIVITAS OutcomesCIVITAS Outcomes High overall success in implementation

with impressive achievements in cities

• Two thirds with "notable" or "acceptable" results

Which barriers need to be overcome?

• Lack of stakeholder support in planning phase

• Insufficient feasibility planning

• Low involvement of suppliers/ industry

• Vague business case (lack of budget for operation & maintenance)

What is driving success?

• Continued political support during implementation

• Sustainability policies "above the parties"

• Links & synergies between policies & measures

• An agreed policy framework as reference

• Knowing & involving the users/ citizens in every phase (done in a professional way)

• Smooth institutional framework with agreed common goals
