Mobility Master Plan
ATM has recently completed the 2012 Mobility Master Plan of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region (pdM). The plan, approved in July 2007, is based on an integrated approach for all transport means tackling both passengers and goods and aims at guaranteeing a high level of accessibility to citizens and reducing the environmental impacts of transport.
According to the pdM, the following challenges must be achieved by 2012:
- Modal split has to evolve in such a way that sustainable transport means support 2/3 of the total mobility in the region.
- The total share of public transport means has to jump 5 percent points by deriving trips from private cars to buses, metro, railways and trams.
- Energy consumption per inhabitant linked to transport activities has to fall by more than 7.5%.
- CO2 emissions have to drop 20.5% and pollutant particles (PM10) by 48%.
- Casualties should be 25% less than in 2005.
To get these goals, the pdM foresees 90 actions related to urban planning, mobility and transport management, transport safety issues, new infrastructures, information and communication, new vehicles and demand services. In particular, the pdM proposes to reduce urban sprawl by modifying certain regulatory frameworks, to increase public transport patronage by 30%, to foster bicycle use and walking by building 150 Km of regional bicycle lanes, and to reduce car mobility by 13 % through strengthening the offer of car sharing and car pooling services and by giving advantages to bus such as dedicated bus ways and priority traffic lights. The plan also aims at reducing CO2, NOx and particle emissions by 2012 via promoting cleaner vehicles, reducing fossil fuel consumption and reducing the average maximum speed on metropolitan motorways.
Given that success of the pdM depends on the fact that all stakeholders are deeply involved in it, ATM has carried out an extensive consultation during the elaboration phase. More than 150 institutions with interests in mobility and 300 other individual consultants, mobility experts, university technicians, entrepreneurs and citizens have participated in the open sessions and working groups.
