19 3. mobility strategy: development of Intermodality and reduce car pressure

20 Mobility and accessibility strategy 1. Promote inter-modality - the easiness on witch a system user changes from one transport mode to another 2. Promote environmental friendly modal share priority for the public transport and nonmotorized transport modes at the central area of the city, traffic calming in residential neighbourhoods, and a more rational use of private transport

21 Mobility and accessibility strategy 3. Improve traffic safety and traffic efficiency speed control, definition of priority axis, traffic light management 4. Articulate land use and transports parking policy, new urban centralities associated to transport system hubs, new public transport lines with dedicated space

25 Pedestrian Accessibilities Plan Main Targets: To promote an increasingly accessible city not encouraging the creation of new barriers To adapt the existing built structures to the current applicable legal rules and regulations in accessibilities prerequisites To boost the community engagement in this social welfare area promoting their active participation Intervention Areas: 1. Public zones 2. Municipal equipments and infrastructures 3. Public transports network 4. Supervision of private entities 5. Interaction with the local residents 6. Evaluation and management of the Plan 3 Candidature approved by the «RAMPA» Programme Modes of Supportingthe Municipalities in Acessibilities projects Aims to support the autharchies in their development of local and regional Plans which are targeted to promote the public areas physical and architectural accessibilituies.

26 Pedestrian Potential

27 Walking on the sidewalk 54% fell at least once 88% usually afraid of falling 65% need more seating

28 Crossing the road 83% need more time from traffic lights 73% usually afraid to cross 46% know someone who s been run over

55 7. conclusions

56 Every mode of transport has its own role in urban mobility, from car to pedestrian, from public to private, from collective to individual. To mitigate car dependence and its pressure in the urban scene, we have to act both in traffic and parking restrictions and in promoting attractive alternatives. Develop complementarities between modes of transport is an strategic issue to guarantee a more environmental friendly mobility. Promoting ecomobility means that soft modes of transport should be developed as network systems, integrated in the urban transport system.
