WP D - Integrating Planning and Mobility Management

• Land-use planning process presents opportunities to implement MM in new and expanding sites as well as through land use policy.

• WP D considers existing experience from member states in using the planning system in this way,

• WP D will produce guidance to further stimulate the links between planning and MM.

WPD’s working steps

• State of the art review

• Analysis & cross-national comparison

• Planning simulation workshops

• Recommendations & guidelines

• Final conference in Cracow, September 2009

slide 6ECOMM 2009 San Sebastián 13-15th May 2009

Analysis in 10 countries, 3 NMS (LI, PL, SI)

• How far is sustainable transport an objective of the planning policy?

• How is MM integrated in the building permission process?

• What are opportunities and the scope for further integration?

ECOMM 2009 San Sebastián 13-15th May 2009 slide 9

RESULTS – Framework conditions in NMS

• little recognition of sustainable transport as objective of planning system (sometimes recognised but rarely put into practice),

• functional disintegration between transport and land-use planning,

• SUTP and MM are relatively unknown concepts,

BUT• transport related problems – demand for new solutions,• EU projects stimulus for policy transfer.

ECOMM 2009 San Sebastián 13-15th May 2009 slide 10

RESULTS – LUP and building permission process in NMS

• fast changing planning systems,• weak planning vs. development pressure,• local plans as poor basis for integration• accessability with sustainable modes mostly neglected,• non-transport factors most important criteria for decision,• many existing planning instruments offer possibilities for

integration (e.g. environmental or transport impact assessments, parking standards),

• main barrieres - awareness and political willingness.

ECOMM 2009 San Sebastián 13-15th May 2009 slide 11

CONCLUSIONS

• unfavourable preconditions but increasing demand for new solutions due to transport problems,

• ad-hoc (pilot) improvements can be done immediately,• difficult systematical improvements,• need for an EU project on MM with a focus on NMS

specifics.
