1 European Commission Policy, Promotion & Funding for Cycling Madeleine Kelly-Tychtl Directorate-General for Mobility &

2 EC Policy

3 1. policy 2011 White Paper: Two urban mobility goals Ø Halve the use of conventionally fuelled cars in cities by 2030 Ø Achieve CO2 free city logistics in major urban areas by Urban Mobility Package: Ø Ø Ø Reinforces EU support to cities Focus on integrated and comprehensive urban mobility planning Call for coordinated action at all levels of government EU, national, regional, local

4 2013 Urban Mobility Package Central element: Communication on 'Together towards competitive and resource efficient urban mobility' Call for action from the Member States Reinforces EU support (best practice, funding) Recommendations on Urban logistics, Urban access regulations, ITS deployment in urban areas, Urban road safety Annex sets out concept of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) which should incorporate a plan to raise the attractiveness, safety and security of walking and cycling

5 The Urban Mobility Package Staff Working Documents (SWD): SWD A call to action on urban logistics SWD Targeted action on urban road safety SWD526 A call for smarter urban vehicle access regulations SWD Mobilising Intelligent Systems for EU cities

6 Urban logistics (I) Urban logistics crucial for the functioning of cities, considerable share urban transport. But often neglected. Member States invited to: Ensure that urban logistics is properly considered in their national approaches to urban mobility and within SUMPs Create platforms for cooperation, exchange of data and information, training, etc. for all actors of the logistics chains

7 Urban logistics (II) The Commission will: Improve the dissemination and uptake of best practice on urban logistics Prepare, with experts, guidance documents that provide practical assistance for improving urban logistics performance (e.g. development of delivery and servicing plans, freight consolidation, etc.)

8 REINFORCING EU SUPPORT Sharing experiences and best practices, fostering cooperation MS Cities EU Coordinated intervention Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans Research and innovation Targeted financial support Urban logistics Urban access regulations Urban ITS deployment Urban road safety Future topics? Conditions conducive to transforming urban mobility

9 2. Road Safety policy Two main policy papers: White Paper 2011: Towards a "zero-vision" on road safety Policy Orientations on Road Safety : halve the number of fatalities q One of the 7 priority objectives is the protection of cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists

10 Road fatalities in EU

11 Cycling fatalities decreasing less than other users

12 Cyclist, pedestrians and motorcyclists account for 2/3 of fatalities in urban areas; 10% of them cyclists

13 3. Health policy 2007 White Paper 'A Strategy on Nutrition, Overweight, and Obesity-related health issues' Action Plan on Childhood Obesity. Third Health Programme includes financial support for health and disease prevention. High Level Group on Nutrition and Physical Activity. EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.

14 Health policy contd. Cycling (and walking): practical and enjoyable way of addressing physical inactivity, which negatively impacts on people's health, on healthcare costs and on the economy. Regular walking or cycling can also help lower stress levels. Over half of the European adult population and one in three children are overweight or obese.

15 4. Regional Policy During the period , an estimated budget of +/- 670 million was made available for investments in cycle infrastructure in regions across the EU through EU cohesion policy. During the period , Community support for cycling and walking infrastructure will be maintained, in the amount of 1-2 billion, principally via ERDF.

16 5. Tourism policy Direct cofinancing: over 10 transnational projects since 2010, promoting cycle tourism (websites, observatories, maps, promotional events, action plans, etc) Co-funding to parts of the EuroVelo network and to European Greenways Observatory

17 6. Environment policy ü Air quality and emissions subject to international and national observation and action WHO, OECD, UNEP, UNECE, CLRTAP and the Göteborg protocol, EU and national/regional legislation ü On EU level AQ and global emissions are regulated by: - The EU 2005 thematic strategy on air pollution (2005) - Emission caps: National Emission Ceilings Directive (DIR 2001/81/EC) - Local air quality limits: Air Quality Directive (DIR 2008/50/EC) ü Major global emission reductions achieved from 1990 ü Major incompliance still exists

18 Environment Policy contd. Health costs of air pollution: 23 billion/year EU-wide Premature deaths due to air pollution about /year i.e. 10 times the amount of deaths due to traffic accidents. CLARS website on urban access regulations & low emission zones:

19 EC Promotion

20 16-22 September every year (launched in 2002) Pan-European campaign culminating in Car-Free Day. Aim: to encourage European municipalities to introduce and promote sustainable transport. Around 2000 cities register every year, and implement around 8500 measures improving public transport and urban infrastructure theme multimodality: 'Choose.Change.Combine.' Merged with Commission's Do the Right Mix campaign to strengthen potential, and include a broader public.

21 European Week of Sport New initiative in September Aims to promote sport and physical activity across Europe, and raise awareness about the benefits. 4 Focus Days: Education environment, Workplaces, Outdoors, Clubs & Fitness centres. 31 National Coordinators + 25 European partners, i.e. sport (-related) organisations. Let's #BeActive

22 The urban mobility observatory Best practice Cycling case studies Tools News Dedicated section on SUMPs

23 EC Funding

24 European Structural and Investment Funds (ERDF, ESF, Cohesion Fund) Ø 7,9 billion for urban mobility Ø billion planned for urban mobility (+40%) Ø 24 Member States will benefit including all 15 cohesion countries Ø EC and MS develop Partnership Agreements on national level and Operational Programmes on regional level Ø More info at: n.cfm

25 Funding for research and innovation 1. Horizon 2020: i. Mobility for Growth - Urban (= CIVITAS 2020): 100 M for 2014/2015 ii. Mobility for Growth Infrastructure: 35 M for 2014/2015 iii. Green Vehicles: 160 M for 2014/2015 Calls for 2015 published: Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking II

26 Civitas initiative Funding of sustainable urban mobility measures in cities Some 60 cities benefited from EU support Logistics 2015: NOVELOG, CITYLAB, SUCCESS, U-TURN Annual Forum platform for exchange of best practice: Ljubljana, 7-9 October

27 CIVITAS initiative How to get involved? 1. Submit a proposal under Horizon Join the Civitas Forum network of cities (free) Ø Over 220 member cities 3. Join a thematic group (free) Ø In 10 specific areas (e.g. clean fuels, mobility management etc.) 4. Apply to the activity fund Ø Supports take-up activities (3rd call published in April 2015) 5. Join a regional network 'CIVINET' Ø Spain+Portugal, French-speaking, Italy, UK+Ireland, Netherlands+Flanders, Slovenia+Croatia, German-speaking, Hungary, Czech Republic+Slovakia, Poland

28 Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) Programme IEE supported 22 cycling projects with EUR 26,4m of EU funding 9 Projects ongoing (CycleLogistics Ahead; PRO-E-BIKE) IEE projects database: 27

29 EC on Cycling: Cycling, walking and public transport are essential elements of multimodality and of sustainable urban mobility. Active mobility including cycling offers major benefits in terms of improved health; reduced air pollution, congestion and noise; and lower energy use. Facilitating cycling should be an integral part of urban mobility and of infrastructure design. Jobs perspective: cycling employs some people in Europe (in bicycle tourism, retail, infrastructure, industry and services).
