Regional Planning

Regional Development:• concentrated alongrail / PT corridors

• avoid sprawl• basis for efficient Public Transport

• requires regional cooperation


Public Transport


Example Tram City

Tram extension:

• investment costs• lower operationalcosts

Car-Sharing

• 1,000 fewer parking spaces

needed

• About 12-25 mio. € parking

infrastructure saved


Integration of PT and Car-Sharing

Car-Sharing + Public Transport

(Since 1998)


Impacts

• Decreasing parking pressure in residential areas

• Lower car-mileage travelled(more use of PT, rail and bike)

• Appropriate cars for purpose of journey (downsizing of cars)

• Better cars available(new cars, high emission standard)


Europe

Car-Sharing today:

• 400 mio inhabitants

• < 400,000 Car-Sharer( 140,000 DE

85,000 CH )


Europe

Potential EU25:400 mioinhabitants

• 4,000,000 Car-Sharer

• Regain space of 600,000 cars

• = 3,000 kilometresurban street space


Action-Plan Bremen

• Target figure: 20.000 customers in Car-Sharing in 2020


Target figure: 20.000 Car-Sharer in 2020

Framework for growth:

• Space for CS stations

• Integration new developments

• Integration with Public Transport

• (Own) Fleet Management

• Awareness + Information
