Urban Sustainable Mobility Policies in Italy - Giovanna Rossi
Urban Sustainable Mobility Policies in Italy - Giovanna Rossi
Arch. Giovanna Rossi Direction for the Sustainable Development, Climate and Energy Ministry of Environment, Land Protection and Sea
Rules to limit the circulation of cars and commercial vehicles in urban central areas (Limited Traffic Zones, regulation of parking areas) Increasing of regional railway transport systems, promoting the intermodality and integrated tickets Increasing, especially around big cities, the use of railways and sea for transport of goods Renewal of fleets of buses and commercial vehicles Increasing the production of electric vehicles and fuelled with LPG or methane, promoting the research in the field of biofuels Increasing the use of bicycles and integrated service of local public transport, as car sharing anf bike sharing
Reduce the consumptions of energy Reduce the greenhouse gases emissions, as CO2 Increase the road safety Reduce the traffic congestion
Fund for the Sustainable Mobility 2007-2009 Duration of the programme and environmental benefits
187 projects funded (70% of total eligible costs), started beginning from 2008 to 2010, average term for each project is 36 months, the conclusion of the entire programme is expected by 2014 For each project the municipality co-funded has indicated the expected benefits in terms of reductions of air pollution for the following pollutants: CO, NOx, PM10, VOC, CO2. The municipalities have indicated the methods to estimate the reduction of air pollution through specific indicators, each estimate has been expressed in terms of Kg of pollutant reduced / year
with ecological vehicles Indirect effects, consisting in the reduction of km covered with other motorized means of transport
Indicators for the environmental evaluation of the projects cofunded from MATTM (Initial analysis)
Number of passengers/km covered with means of public
transport (reserved lanes to the public transport, increase of public transport and infomobility) Emissions avoided with the substitution of older buses with new ecological ones (renewal fleet of public transport) Number of km avoided without the use of private cars and commercial vehicles (all measures cofunded) Number of km covered with services of car sharing, bike sharing (integrated services to the public transport) Number of km covered with bicycles on cycle paths (cycle paths)
Indicators for the environmental evaluation of the projects cofunded from MATTM (Initial analysis) Some data that need for the elaboration of indicators: filling rate of buses rate of substitution public transport/private cars number of vehicles that cannot circulate into LTZ number of new buses purchased and average of km covered in a year filling rate of intermodal parking areas number of bicycles of the bike sharing services, number of km of cycle paths
The evaluation of state of the art of policies of urban mobility: the survey of Ministry of Environment
MATTM is elaborating a survey, oriented to the municipalities cofunded with Fund for the Sustainable Mobility, to know the state of the art of mobility urban planning in the municipalities and general information about the mobility system in the specific cities. The survey is made by the following sections: general data about population and municipal area, mobility urban planning, information about performance of urban public transport, policies to limit the vehicular circulation in central areas (LTZ), planning of intermodal parking areas, cycle paths, information about injuries in urban area
Analysis of effects due to the system of mobility in an urban area, and consequently analysis of vehicular flows, availability of parking areas, cycle paths, railway transport, etc of the specific interested area. Analysis of effects due to a specific measure of urban sustainable mobility, whose elaborations (methods of calculation) can be adopted indipendently from the context of the specific interested urban area (example: Analysis of number of subscriptions to the car sharing service) In particular, this second one analysis is important to support the evaluation of the efficacy of the use of financial resources allocated to a specific measure (and related projects) of urban sustainable mobility
Teamwork on sustainable mobility at Conference for State-Cities and Local Autonomies (7th december 2010) Teamwork made by Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Interior, National Association of Municipalities and Local Authorities, with the following goals:
Share the priorities on the policies of urban sustainable mobility Share the indicators for the environmental evaluation of measures of urban sustainable mobility
romote the exchange of best practices for the management of policies of urban sustainable mobility
Promote the dissemination of results of Teamwork, through a specific National Conference on Sustainable Mobility
