the new role of the transport planner

Last century’s car-centered Urban Vision created a functional and professional fracture among planning disciplines

Before

The complexity of the modern urban environment and society can only be faced through a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach of all planning

disciplines

Now

Milan SUMP - Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan – 10 strategies

Public transport strategy

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSISThe CBA showed, given the current socio economic framework a limited benefit in introducing new heavy infrastructure

LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCESThe current economical framework does not allow to access major financial resources

Therefore the main actions for the next decade will focus on.

• Enhance the entire surface transport network system through an incremental strategy of local interventions

• Enhance accessibility level of the stations and transport hubs together with the improvement of the quality and comfort of the service

New infrastructure

Enhancing extra urban connectivity by expanding the lines to the ajecent councils

36

Adding rail stations and impoving inteconnnectivity at interchange hubs

Public transport strategy

The focus on the surface network guarantees:

- Quick execution of the improvement - Economic efficiency- Return on the investment

The plan envisages a strong hierarchy in order to Improve by 30% the current commercial speed through a set of actions:

- Lines length reduction- Revise priority at traffic light with strong preference on

PT- Reduction of cross interference - Revision of position and stop densities

T LINES surface transit system and the Priority Corridors

Milan Congestion charge

Prior to the congestion charge about 135.000 car access the area daily

No impact of travelling speed registered on the internal ring road
