1 Towards a Sustainable Transport Network in the West Region Padraic O Donoghue Professor of Civil Engineer NUI Galway Engineers Ireland West Region March 3, 2015

2 Outline One Planet Living Engineering the West to 2020 Transport in the Future Key Principles of Sustainable Transport Case Studies in International Best Practice Sustainable Transport Engineering the West to 2020 Recent Studies Galway Chamber, NUI Galway Ardaun Corridor Galway Transport Plan 2015 (Bypass)

3 One Planet Living -10 Sustainability Principles Engineering the West to 2020 reinventing our region Zero Carbon Zero Waste Sustainable Transport Sustainable Materials Local & Sustainable Food Sustainable Water Land Use & Wild Life Culture & Heritage Equity & Local Economy Health & Happiness

4 Transport in the Future Personal rapid transit - Heathrow Driverless Cars Maglev - China Airship Freight Transport

5 Transport in the Future Solar Bike path - embedded panels Growth of electric cars Piezoelectric road systems

6 Transport in the Future The schweeb pedal-powered bike monorail Bike on a back pack Solar powered bus Australia

7 Sustainable Transport Features Access/Connect Walk/Cycle/PT Planning Mode Shift Compact/Densify

8 Freiburg Case Study in Sustainable Transport

9 Evolution of Freiburg s Transport System : Rebuilding the city with emphasis on cars : Crucial decisions on sustainable transport 1973: Pedestrianised city centre : Improve public transport, walking, cycling 42% increase in public transit patronage today: Restrict car usage and further promote green modes high parking costs *(Buehler & Pucher)

10 Changes to Freiburg Transport Central Square Reduction in car access

11 Some Key Features of Freiburg Transport Mobility plan prioritises traffic avoidance and preference to walking, cycling and public transit Urban planning compact city and strong neighbourhoods 1973 entire city centre to a pedestrian zone Just 32% of journeys are by car Fully integrated public transport system; tramway, bus, regional rail 70% of population 500 m from tram stop frequency 7.5min. 90% Residential 30km/hr some with 7km/hr home zones Regio Card ( 47) unlimited monthly use of public transport Economic growth of the city much higher than elsewhere

12 Freiburg: Prioritising Sustainable Modes of Travel

13 Opposition to Freiburg Transport Policies Business leaders against pedestrian zones in 1970s Parking garages constructed at edge of zone Transport company against flat fare introduction; 1984 Government provided financial guarantees to implement Communities sceptical on traffic calming neighbourhoods Trialled in some areas to prove concept Car free district Vauban did not meet parking requirement Government waiver on amount of parking required

14 Sustainable Transport Guiding Principles Decision making within a sustainability framework that aligns transport with spatial planning, social and economic policies Emphasis on compact, mixed use areas Integrated mobility management and transport modes Investment in Public Transport, Cycling and Walking to encourage modal shift Legislation/co-ordination at government level with delivery at regional/local level Renewable energy in transport/fuel economy Appropriate transport infrastructure

15 Low Density Housing -creates greater car dependency Urban sprawl Dispersed development in rural Ireland

16 Compact, mixed use areas

17 Urban Village in Zurich Close integration of housing/mixed use development with public transport

18 Travel Modes Split

19 Traffic Decongestion Cities who prioritise congestion reduction will have a better quality of life for its citizens

20 Promoting Bike Usage Small cities like Groningen and Erlangen prioritise bike usage - Up to 50% mode share achieved

21 City Centre Traffic Calming s Reducing space for cars

22 Getting People to the City Centre

23 High Environmental Cost of Unsustainable Transport Modes PT/Cycle/Walk Percent Share

24 Energy in transport/ fuel economy Electric Vehicles Suitable for small countries Ireland Running costs about ¼ of a petrol car Improvements in battery technology Train is 3-10 times more efficient than car Energy Harvesting Fuel Economy: 15% efficiency improvement - 10 years Car Emissions: 28 times CO reduction in 20 years

25 s The Role of the Motorway in Sustainable Transport??

26 Even Freiburg has Motorways!!

27 Intelligent Transportation Systems Real time information for commuters Automatic Road Enforcement Traffic control Urban Traffic Management Centre Dynamic traffic light sequence Emergency Vehicle Notification Enabled by wireless communications, sensing technologies, smarter cars, GPS

28 Key to Implementing Sustainable Transport Policies Implement Controversial Policies in Stages Plans should be Flexible and Adaptable Policies must be Multi-modal and must Include Incentives and Disincentives Fully integrate Land-use Planning and Transport Citizen involvement is integral to policy development and implementation Government support for Local Policies Policies must be sustained over long periods

29 Irish Policy Documents and Action Plans s

30 Sustainable Rural Communities Good quality transport network is critical for economic and social well-being of a rural area Access to public transport the single biggest issue facing rural communities (2007 UCD survey) Access to health services, employment and education also viewed as very important Role of transport to combat rural isolation

31 Engineering the West to 2020 Sustainable Transport Recommendations Delivery of key goals of the Smarter Travel Policy All new developments must be consistent with public transport options State-of-the-art integrated public transport hub at Ceannt Station Complete the M17/M18 Gort to Claremorris route Construct the Galway City Orbital Route Prioritise investment to upgrade N5 route and national secondary/regional roads of strategic importance

32 West Region Transport Network

33 Cycling - a growth area in the region Great Western Greenway Other planned greenways Bike Rental Scheme Cycle to work scheme City cycle paths

34 Air, Sea, Rail Very good regional connectivity to Shannon/Knock Opportunity with Galway Harbour development Improved frequency of Galway-Dublin route need for greater commuter uptake Not viable to extend Western Rail Corridor

35 Changing Face of Galway City Centre 1960s 1980s 2000s

36 Objectives Galway Chamber Transport Study To identify the travel patterns of people who work in Galway; To determine the views of the general public on measures and initiatives associated with making the city smarter and more sustainable, thus alleviating traffic congestion and promoting growth. Survey carried out in summer 2014 with 764 responses

37 Place of Residence Five Primary areas 3 Urban, 2 Rural 48% > 10km from work

38 Place of Work Four Areas of Concentration

39 Rural East Significant Cross-city Traffic Movements City West Rural West Residence of People working in Galway City West Residence of People working in Galway Eastern Suburbs

40 Primary Mode of Transport Primary Mode Nº Answers % Primary Mode Nº Answers % Bus Taxi Car Train Car pool Walk Cycle Other Motorbike Excessive Car Usage not sustainable

41 Factors Affecting Mode of Transport

42 Sustainable Measures Implemented in Galway City Improved Bus Lanes Bike Rental Coke Zero Bike Parking at Work Enhanced Bike Lanes Free Morning Parking Park and Stride schools Park and Ride Further sustainable initiatives will be welcomed

43 Factors that would Improve Bus Patronage

44 Strong Support for Enlarged Pedestrian Zones

45 Chamber Study Recommendations Better promotion of sustainable transport Combined City/County initiative on modal shift Strategy to provide places of employment closer to centres of population. Planning in rural areas must be reassessed Continued investment in cycling More targeted initiatives on sustainable transport Lack of use of public transport must be addressed with clear strategy to increase patronage - investment Additional traffic restriction measures for the city centre

46 Other NUI Galway Studies Eoghan Clifford and colleagues Modal Share Trends at NUI Galway and UCHG Changing Patterns over Several Years Benefits of Investment in Sustainable Infrastructure

47 Positive trends Cycle: 7% 15% Walk: 10% 15% Car: 78% 65% Very low public transport share Mode Split NUIG Staff

48 Mode Split NUIG Students Very little overall change Very low public transport share

49 Single occupancy car drivers NUIG 34% 41% Distance from campus 18% 5% 1% 10% 30 mins 12 mins 15 mins 1.5 km 3 km 8 km staff students

50 Limited changes Cycle: 3% 6% Car: 86% 81% Very high car dependency Mode Split UCHG Staff Start/Finish times Longer distance to work

51 NUIG Transport Initiatives Recent investment in walking and cycling facilities

52 NUIG and UCHG Staff Commuting Distance vs Mode NUIG UCHG

53 NUI Galway Students Commuting Distance vs Mode

54 Ardaun Corridor Proposed for eastern side of city Can it be a compact, local, sustainable community? Concerns about the internal connectivity external connectivity Lessons from other developments Proposed new outer road routes

55 Galway City Transport Project 2015 Follows on from the rejection of the Galway City Outer Bypass 2013 Seeks a more integrated approach to decongesting the city Smarter Travel component Public Transport component Road component Effective delivery of all components will result in a more sustainable transport system in Galway

56 Case for the Road Component Critical social dimension connecting communities Particularly for Connemara More attractive to live, economic benefits Alleviate traffic and congestion on existing routes Divert through traffic out of the city Cross city commuting a continuing problem Much greater opportunity to implement sustainable city policies Better public transport Quincentennial Bridge restrict car access

57 Route Options Galwa s

58 The Road Component Major Difficulties with Proposed Routes Adverse impact of the proposed options in terms of people s homes, businesses Significant disruption and damage to communities Routes through the city will bring more cars into the city Mobilisation of citizens in objection to present plans Presently proposed routes will most likely be rejected back to square one for Galway A revised outer route must be found

59 The Sustainable Transport Grand Challenge We have a long way to travel in this region Financial Constraints Attitudes of the Public Integrated Structures Enhanced Planning Greater Vision
