3
Negative consequences of transport especially in cities are no longer tolerable:
Because of
Traffic congestion
Air pollution
Noise
Consumption of imported fossil fuels
Increasing CO2 emissions
4
4 CONGESTION
to increase if no action is taken
freight transport by road + 50 % by 2010 (compared to 1998)
Congestion in urban areas has a price:
2001 = 0,5% of GDP, 1% by 2010
Competitiveness of EU economy in danger
5
ENVIRONMENT
TP is responsible for 28% of CO2 emissions; Road TP = 84% of total share
Risk not to achieve Kyoto commitments to reduce total CO2 emissions by 8%
6
SAFETY
Number of road accidents is no more acceptable:
40 000 fatalities per year
1 M / injured people
7
SECURITY OF ENERGY SUPPLY
EU TP rely for 98% on oil
If no action is taken
EU’ s dependency on external supply will reach 70% by 2030
8
Urban Transport:European Union trends
over the next 10 years • Urban transport continues to grow, but slower
than in the last 10 years
• Public transport only keeps market share in metropolitan areas
• Walking and cycling are loosing market share
• Improvements of environmental conditions
• Congestion might double
9
Twofold action: Energy & Transport
• Green Paper on Energy Supply “Towards a European strategy for the security of energy supply” (November 2000)
• White Paper “European Transport Policy for 2010: time to decide” (September 2001)
10
Commission’s Energy Vision:Green Paper on Energy Supply
Green Paper on Security of Energy Supply outlines a long term strategy:
To reduce energy consumption,
To increase market share of renewable energies, assess role of nuclear power, increase strategic fuel stocks (oil and extended to gas)
To replace 20 % of conventional fuels in road TP by alternative fuels by 2020
3 Important potential alternative fuels:
Biofuels
Natural gas
Hydrogen
11
THE WHITE PAPER
Key Objectives
Shifting the balance between modes (from road to rail and maritime, better links between modes)
To ensure complementarity between modes
Removal of bottlenecks (implementing TENs, charging policy)
Focussing on user-needs (road safety, quality of services - specific needs on Urban Transport)
Managing the globalisation of transport
12
THE WHITE PAPER
Philosophy
To improve functioning of EU Transport market
To remove discriminatory practices
To develop intermodal complementarity
To support major infrastructure projects
To put safety & quality at the heart of TP policy
To place users needs & rights at the core of EU TP strategy
13
THE WHITE PAPER
60 Policy measures are proposed among which:
Regulatory tools (regulations , directives)
Economic instruments (pricing)
Exchange of good practice
Research: 6th Framework Programme (FP 6) R&D of new technologies
14
• Urban domain, where energy and transport key questions come together
• Urban transport: for first time explicitly included in EU transport policy: “rationalizing urban transport”
• Recognition of important role played by urban transport plays for achieving EU policy objectives
• Subsidiarity principle
• “Urban chapter” offers an excellent framework for implementing a coherent work- programme for clean urban transport
The urban transport agenda
15
Using diversified energy for transport
- increasing the use of alternative fuels
- stimulating demand for clean vehicles
Promoting good practice (see next slide)
Ensuring a maximum contribution from other fields to the urban transport agenda
Clean Urban Transport Unit Work Programme (1)
16
• Pilot project support to pioneering cities: CIVITAS
• Strengthening knowledge of transport professionals & decision-makers (University training programmes, postgraduate education)
• Monitoring improvements in urban transport: Benchmarking
• Promoting high quality public transport
• Developing a network of local agencies
• Promoting good practice through local agencies & Internet based information: ELTIS (European Local Transport Service)
Work Programme (2)
17
• Policy development
• Research (RTD) activities (eg. in FP6)
• Pilot projects
• Benchmarking
• Dissemination, awareness, training
Portfolio of activities / instruments
18
CIVITASRadical Strategies
for Clean Urban Transport
An Integrated approach to Clean Urban Transport supported by the 6th RTD Framework Programme of
the European Community
19
CIVITAS is looking for radical change Integrated demonstrations of technology and policy measures
CIVITAS is about cities - Cities have to be in the core of the consortia + relevant partnership- High political commitment- A reduced number of laboratories
What is CIVITAS about ?
20
Large Scale Integrated Demonstration Projects with leading and follower cities
Independent Cross-site Evaluation
• External Monitoring
• European-wide Dissemination
CIVITAS: A comprehensive approach

When will CIVITAS II happen ?
• Taking on board non-successful & new cities
• Participant cities will have to show political & technical commitment to the “CIVITAS philosophy”
• “An open door to the outside world”: Participation of non-European cities
• Making available the CIVITAS evaluation tool to “CIVITAS Forum” cities
• Launched in May 2002
• Paving the way for CIVITAS II
24
When will CIVITAS II happen?
• Work Programme published: December 2002
• Call opens: June 2003
• Call closes: December 2003
• Contracts signed: Before end 2004
• Expected projects duration: 4 years
• Overall EC budget: Around 50 M€
25
Will more information be made available on CIVITAS II ?
• Currently: Work Programme available on CORDIS (www.cordis.lu)
• End March 2003: Comprehensive slide presentation & Calendar of Info Days will be available on the CIVITAS website

CUTE DELIVERABLES
• The Commission shows global leadership in exploring new energy options
• The Commission is sharing the risk with EU industry and users (Cities) to develop and to lead in this promising technology (18.5 M€ out of 52 M€)
• The Commission will understand the practical barriers for hydrogen and will gain real-life experience on ways to overcome them
• The Commission will get actual data on the well-to-wheel use of hydrogen

GALILEO The European Satellite
Radio-navigation Programme
What is GALILEO ?
• Galileo utilises cutting-edge technology to enable everyone equipped with a receiver to receive signals from several satellites and thus determine the exact position in time and space at any given moment
• The system is based on a constellation of 30 satellites that continuously cover the entire surface of the earth
• On the basis of these signals, systems and services will be developed that are vital for running modern society
30
GALILEO
Why is a new satellite system needed ?
• Galileo: only alternative to a monopoly for American military system GPS
• Galileo offers a universal service
• Galileo and GPS are complementary
• Galileo allows the European industry to be involved in one of the main economic growth sectors of the future
Galileo is a joint initiative of the EU and ESA
31
GALILEO
How far is the development of Galileo ?
• Definition phase has been completed
• 2002 -2005: Development and validation phase
• 2006 - 2007: Deployment phase
• From 2008 onwards: Commercial operation phase
Council needs to decide to start the development and validation phase. ESA has already shown its commitment
32
GALILEO
Galileo is economically viable:
• Development and deployment costs €3.2 billion
• No need for contributions from national budgets
• Development: € 1.1 billion (50% EU+ 50% ESA)
• Deployment: EU contribution and private investment
• Operation: decreasing public participation until 2015, additional funding coming from paid services and possibly a small charge on receiving equipment
33
GALILEO
Services offered by Galileo:
• A free public universal service offering basic navigation, positioning and timing signals
• Commercial navigation and positioning services• Free safety of life navigation and positioning services• A public regulated and controlled positioning,
navigation and timing service for emergency services
34
GALILEO
Examples of urban transport applications:
• Private navigation and route guidance (vehicle-based and handheld terminals)
• Commercial vehicle navigation and route guidance (vehicle-based terminals, for instance taxi’s)
• Public emergency vehicle navigation and route guidance (police, fire, ambulance)
35
GALILEO
• Distance-based urban road pricing schemes
• Fleet management (public transport vehicles and freight vehicles)
• Tracking and tracing of goods/containers• Public transport travel services, e.g. real time travel
information• Civil engineering, land surveying, mapping, etc.
