1 Copenhagen Congestion Charging The Copenhagen Case Start- og afklaringsmøde 26. januar 2006 Henrik Sylvan Oplæg v/ Henrik Sylvan City of Copenhagen Impacts Conference Stockholm June 2006

3 International transport corridor

4 Copenhagen conurbation Copenhagen City = 0.5 mill inhabitants Øresund Region = 3.5 mill inhabitants Economic Growth 3.2% Activity Case I: - Øresund Bridge 15.7% -CphAirport 7.5% Activity Case II: Ørestad New Town Development Area

5 Øresund Integration = road traffic Øresund Bridge Ferry Lines 0

6 Transport generating actions

7 New urban structures

8 Ørestad Development Construction activity: >4 mill m will work will study will live in ØRESTAD City 7 min Airport 5 min

9 Ørestad

10 Ørestad / Daniel Libeskin WTC

11 Urban structure development I City centre used to serve 1.8 mill people Now it serves 3.5 mill people

12 Urban cultural development II New Royal Library 1998 New National Theatre opens in 2007 New Danish National Gallery 1997 New Opera house 2005

13 Copenhagen Airport Europe s no million passengers destinations

14 Main challenges Mobility Average speed down to km/h on the road network in Copenhagen Environment To early death of Copenhageners every year as a consequence of pollution Socio economy Congestion in the Copenhagen region gives an economic welfare loss equal to 800 mill per year due to the waste of time

15 Road capacity bottlenecks critical congested acceptable

16 Transport growth Car traffic +25% Vehicles in rush hours in/out Copenhagen: 1995 = = Car ownership +45% Private cars registered in Copenhagen town: 1995 = =

17 Reduced average speed Km/h Antal biler, der krydser Vehicle kommunegrænsen volume pr. døgn Cars/d Gennemsnitlig hastighed for Vehicle biler i myldretiden speed

18 Parking circle time 50% of the car drivers are searching mn s 25% of trip time is circle time when parking

19 Parking restrictions Residents Commuters/busines s Visitors Higher P-charges Better regulation and utilisation of P-facilities

20 Parking restrictions Latest approved P-strategy: Extra 4000 P-lots in construction inside Copenhagen But this generate more traffic!

21 Improving mobility Making daily life easier when I am in town with my car: More regulations Improving transport infrastructure

22 Toll ring around Copenhagen Could reduce traffic congestion problems In principle easy to establish Gives a revenue to accelerate transport infrastructure investments

23 Clever congestion charging Fiscal reasons? Mobility improvement?

24 3 models investigated A little toll ring A big toll ring GPS-solution

25 Main results of the studies I Congestion charging improves mobility - All models reduce congestion problems - Present time waste of 120,000 hrs/d reduced - Anticipated 15% traffic reduction - Extra 75,000 metro passengers

26 Main results of the studies II Environmental improvement - Freight transport less influenced -CO2 emissions reduced - NOx etc. not reduced so much - Noise emissions reduced by 1-3 db. Revenue substantial 100 mill (Little Ring) 200 mill (Big Ring) 500 mill (GPS in the Region) But problem of Danish Government s Tax Stop policy

27 Trip behaviour In the City of Copenhagen: 1/3 commute by public transport 1/3 commute by car and 1/3 commute by bicycle

28 Trip behaviour Ture inden for Lille Ring Ture mellem Stor Ring og området uden for Stor Ring Car traffic already reduced Antal ture Pendlere Erhverv Andre Antal ture Pendlere Erhverv Andre Could public transport do more? Ture mellem Lille Ring og området uden for Stor Ring Antal ture Kollektiv Cykel + gang Bil 0 Pendlere Erhverv Andre Ture inden for området mellem Stor Ring og Lille Ring Ture mellem Lille Ring Stor Ring Antal ture Antal ture Pendlere Erhverv Andre 0 Pendlere Erhverv Andre

35 Debate Topics: more and better cycle lanes (3m) better public transport road expansion (tunnel circle line)

36 Alternative: improve public transport Metro S-train Inter regional

37 Metro 1+2

38 Metro Cityring

39 Metro Cityring

40 PLAN Metro bill New railway line 1 bill New main road tunnel 3 bill - but the new projects do not alone help reducing the congestion problem

41 Congestion charging?

42 Is it a good idea...? No Yes

43 Time schedule 2007 Planning 2008 Implementing 2009 Start
