1 Mobility Management during construction New Swedish Guidelines Swedish Transport Administration Charlotta Palmlund Mobility Management during construction 1. The Stockholm Region 2. Background 3. Reasons for during construction 4. The Planning Process 5. Practical experiences 6. Conclusions and recommendations

2 1. The Stockholm Region Stockholm County Islands Population Capital city 26 Municipalities Growing region

3 The Public Transport System Underground Commuter Trains Tramways Local Train Lines Bus Network Lack of peak capacity Congestion Maintenance needs Ongoing infra investments Increased long distance commuting High Public Transport Share 70 % Peak Hour into the City 40 % Average Challenge to keep it The transportsystem

4 2. during construction works - Background Mobility Management A more efficient use of existing infrastructur Measures that influences the need for transportation the choice of transport mode the time and route of travel for bottle necks for new residential areas during construction for new PT for workplace areas for events

5 The Project during Construction Develop guidelines and a new routine Looking at the whole process from early planning to realization Principles for cooperation and financing Objective to reach a regional agreement between stakeholders Learning by doing Publish new handbook quickly Yearly revisions Continue the work with monitoring and impact Our definition of during construction Improve Sustainable Offer + Behavioral Impact Bus lanes Cycling measures Test Passengers Local Travel Plans Parking fees Minor infra measures Push and Pull Improved offer Information Higher frequency of PT departures Support for carpooling Travel planner Real time information about disturbances

6 3. Reasons for working with during construction The challenge Planned Road Works

7 Handling of Disruptions during Road Works Adjusting the project Building during night time Building Logistics Moving the traffic Traffic Diversions ITS Reducing the traffic Mobility Management Objectives and impact Reduced congestion before start Reduced impact of disruptions Increased Mode Share for Bike /PT Before During Remaining Examples of benefits: For the User > Improved accessibility, wither range of travel option Socio-economic > Increased transport-/energy efficiency, lower CO2 emissions A more efficient use of the Transport System

8 4. The Planning Process The Four step-principle Behavioral changes More efficient use of existing infrastructure Small complementary infrastructure projects New infrastructure

9 Mobility Management as an integrated part of the Road Planning Process process Pre-study Feasability Study Work Plan Construction document Construction Operation Assessment of the need for Study Choise of alternative + Agreement Planning Measures Perform Measures Evaluation Assessment Is there a need to study for the specific construction project? Assessment of - Traffic structure/flow - Concerned stakeholders and users - Concerned means of transport - Possible disturbances No Yes

10 Study How to get the right mixture of measures? Travel Survey (or analysis of travel patterns) Possibilites for sustainable transport Analysis of disruptions Objectives - acceptance Suggested measures Cooperation Packages of Measures Level 1 Level 2 Level Assessment study Planning of -measures Implementation of measures Evaluation Choise of alternative + Agreement One responsible actor Several responsible actors

11 5. Practical experiences Road 155 in Gothenburg Municipality Reconstruction works on Road 155 Reconstruction works for improvement of traffic safety, public transport and accessibility for the harbour area. New pedestrian- and cyclinglanes Problem Reconstruction on current route, with heavy traffic load

12 Objectives Increased Public Tranport share and decreased share of car traffic Reduce singel car use with 10 % on the road in peak hour Partners: Trafikverket Västtrafik Trafikkontoret Göteborgs stad Öckerö kommun Stadsdelsförvaltningen Torslanda Arbetsgivare/näringsliv Reserved lane for busses, ride-sharing and heavy transport (also after construction has finished) Increased parking areas for Park+Ride Renovation of bus stands Road 155 Measures Increased frequency for busses Test passenger campaigns Double deckers on one bus route Information; announcements, Workplace-meetings, newsletter Personal travel advice campaign

13 Road 155 Responsibilities and financing Trafikverket (bus lane, P+R etc) City of Gothenburg (Information, evaluation etc) Västtrafik PT Company 1-1,5 million (improved PT, trial PT passes etc) Result: - 10% car traffic + 3% PT trips Conclusions and recommendations

14 Cooperation - Key to Success Cooperation Assessment of the need for Study Choise of alternative + Agreement Planning Measures Perform Measures Evaluation Conclusions and recommendations Choose measures in proportion to the size of the project Keep the user in focus when planning and implementing There is money to save during the production phase from reducing car use Also remaining car users will gain from higher PT use Include important stakeholders also in the process of developing the the new way of working Formalizing the process makes the partners feel safe Learning by doing

15 Formalisering för tryggare processen och resultatet Reglerar det övergripande samarbetet mellan aktörerna generellt Regionalt övergripande Projekt specifika avtal 2012 för: Långsiktiga övergripande syfte och mål Kort- och långsiktiga samarbetsprinciper Skärholmen Organisation Ekerö Finansierings principer Vinsta- Förslagsvis Hjulsta giltighet minst om 5 år.
