All Transport

• Limit reporting requirements to data that are essential for carrying out public authority mandates.
• Co-ordinate new mobility data collection with existing data reporting and measurement efforts.
• Co-ordinate data reporting across all levels of government.
• Develop public authority capacity to collect, process and analyse new mobility data.

• Support fare decision-making with regular evaluation.
• Jointly optimise fare pricing and road user charging.
• Reduce the cost barrier for those most in need and simplify access to concession fares.
• Boost flexibility for existing services.
• Promote multimodality to increase public transport use.
• Consider data needs, transparency and inclusion principles when choosing ticketing technologies.

Recommendations for sustainable urban mobility management:

• Promote a balanced mix of transport modes for resilient transport systems that serve both residents and tourists. 

• Allocate budget and staff support to institutionalise the process of public consultation. 

• Adopt a supportive regulatory framework that allows co-ordination between local, regional, and national authorities, and private mobility service providers to implement SUMP measures.

• Clarify the relationship between SUMPs and other strategic land use and transport planning policies and processes.

Recommendations for mobility data management:

• Establish and maintain spatial databases independent of individual projects.

• Develop or secure adequate long-term spatial analysis capacity.

• Streamline data provision from national bodies.

• Establish data reporting requirements for transport service providers.

• Provide national-level guidance on household surveys.

• Standardise data collection and indicators at the national level. 

Recommendations to understand and monitor urban freight activity

• Cooperate with freight stakeholders to address data gathering challenges.

• Use surveys to collect freight data for indicators.

• Logistics is more than e-commerce. Urban logistics includes deliveries, distribution, returns, collections and servicing. A wide range of stakeholders with consumer and business demands are involved in the logistics ecosystem. Thinking about improving logistics started in e-commerce and now drives developments in the other segments.
• Shift to sustainable logistics. Logistics is unlikely the most beneficial use of real estate considering sparse urban space. But the absence of sustainably designed and operated urban logistics hubs could lead to more vehicles or more polluting vehicles in cities as no transshipment space is available.
• Strengthen understandings of logistics and hubs. Planning authorities should provide best-practice guidelines and frame policies for logistics and associated hubs without significantly increasing costs for operators and customers. The public sector should govern while the private sector should lead the construction, operation and management of logistics hubs.

• Élaborer des stratégies globales au service de la mobilité et des infrastructures de demain
• Accélérer la transition vers des flottes de véhicules propres
• Mettre en œuvre des politiques de report modal et de gestion de la demande là où elles sont le plus efficaces
• Au stade de l’évaluation, considérer les avantages additionnels qu’une politique peut apporter aux zones urbaines
• Réformer la fiscalité automobile de façon à capter les coûts externes des nouveaux parcs de véhicules

• Invest more. Greenhouse gas emissions from transport must decline rapidly to meet the Paris Agreement goals. As well as renewing vehicle fleets with electric vehicles, this requires modal shift towards public transport and active mobility. Public transport investments must increase significantly to enable the required modal shift.
• Focus on efficiency. More efficient infrastructure and service provision will contain the funding requirement. This requires coordinated institutional management arrangements, a strong focus on competition, a well-functioning multimodal mobility system, public investment decisions determined with efficiency in mind, and efficient financing choices.
• Fund from all sources. Sustainable public transport requires funding from three sources: users, through fares; governments, through general budgets and earmarked taxes; and taxes on indirect beneficiaries, including owners of land that increases in value when its accessibility improves.

• Seize the day! Take advantage of windows of opportunity to enact changes and set new goals.
• Line up! Align policies for promoting light mobility at the national, regional and local levels.
• Measure up! Assess potential interventions in support of light mobility and monitor and evaluate
• implemented policies to demonstrate impact.
• Get going! Improve walking conditions and local connectivity for improved access to opportunities.
• Go faster! Develop high-quality light mobility infrastructure for safe interactions with other traffic.
• Go further! Integrate collective transport, pedestrian spaces and light mobility infrastructure.
• Bring everyone along! Use communication campaigns and education programmes to inspire a change in attitudes and mobility behaviour.

• Replace “predict and provide” transport planning with a “decide and provide” approach.
• Use Covid-19 recovery to improve the physical and virtual accessibility of services and opportunities.
• Accelerate the reallocation of city space from cars to people.
• Decentralise and diversify transport services to cater for varying travel purposes and users.
• Empower local authorities with adequate funds and decision-making power to address post-pandemic transport challenges.

• Improve co-ordination between transport planning and other policy areas.
• Foster effective metropolitan governance of transport.
• Develop and implement sustainable urban mobility plans.
• Move beyond planning based on demand forecasts towards vision-led, strategic transport planning.
• Use relevant indicators to monitor the performance of transport systems.
• Rectify biases in policies that favour car travel over alternative transport options.
• Prioritise investments that improve the use of low-range and sustainable transport modes.
• Reallocate road space to sustainable, efficient and safe transport modes.
