Regional Mobility Plan IRIS 2
Iris 2 Plan(2018) 1. Favor active modes 2. Making public transport more attractive 3. Rationalize and specialize the road network and enhance road safety 4. A rational use for the car 5. Apply a coherent and regulating parking policy 6. Match mobility and urban planning 7. Information and mobility management 8. Improve logistics and distribution of goods 9. Improve governance in order to guaranty the objectives of Iris 2 11
1. Favor active modes of transport Walking + Persons with reduced mobility - Increase trips by foot - Pedestrian plan (2011) - Better taking in account of pedestrians and PRM into in infrastructure design (surface covering, lighting, crossings, ) - Pedestrian spaces (20 km en 2018) - Enhance the image + Communication 12
1. Favor active modes of transport Cycling - 20% of trips in 2020 - Infrastructure: 100% of roads cyclable, regional cycling routes (+ 200 km), links with surrounding region - Green corridors along train tracks - Parking - Villo - Enhance the image, communication (cycling map) 13
2. Making public transport more attractive Tram - Commercial speed (protected lanes, priority at signal crossings, respect) - Extensions: Roodebeek-Marcel Thiry, Léopold III, gare Centrale, Hauts de Jette-Heysel, Westland - Evaluation for extra extensions: T&T-gare du Nord, Meiser, T71, T95, Léopold III, Forest-Haut de la Ville Bus - Commercial speed and buses with high level of service 14
2. Making public transport more attractive 15
2. Making public transport more attractive International accessibility - Develop international links (train) - Modernize the 5 major stations: Midi, Central, Nord, Luxembourg, Schuman -Improve accessibility of the international poles: European district, Delta-Beaulieu, Otan, Pentagone (Pedestrian zone), Louise-Toison d Or 16
3. Rationalize and specialize the road network and enhance road safety - Specialize the network (protect local network) - Enhance road safety - Speed limit of 30 km/h on local roads - Low emission zones - Traffic lights and crossroads for better cohabitation of users - Noise pollution - Reduction of capacity on entry roads (E40, E411, ) - Municipal mobility plans 17
4. A rational use for the car - Control demand: e-gov, work from home, - Road user charging: lorries (2013), feasibility study for cars (2014) - Shared cars - Taxis - Motorcycles - Company, school and activity mobility plans - Heighten public awareness / inform 18
5. Apply a coherent and regulating parking policy - Street parking (-16% by 2018) (=> off street), in favor of other modes - Signal available places - Environmental permits - Regional plan + regional parking agency - Park and ride/ Transit parkings (Regional and REN-zone) 19
6. Match mobility and urban planning - Higher density close to efficient PT poles - Offices close to train stations and intermodal nodes - High density living areas close to zones with strong concentration of jobs - Urban mix of functions 20
7. Information and mobility management - Multi-modal mobility management center MOBIRIS - Real time information - VMS - Information on mobility (dynamic maps, Web site) www.bruxellesmobilite.irisnet.be 21
8. Improve logistics and distribution of goods - Strategic goods distribution plan (2011) - Urban distribution consolidation - Freight routes and truck parking - Rationalize km driven by trucks - Deliveries - Favor other modes: water, rail - Consultation 22
9. Improve governance in order to guaranty the objectives - Project process (ex: Consulting commission) - Exemplary administrations - Better coordination between political levels - Consistency between different reference texts - Monitoring and evaluation of the Iris 2 plan 23
2. A bit further Objective 2018 : - 20% veh*km - parking, - road user charging, - important investments in public transport - - + demographic growth!!! Objective 2040 : 30, 50, 70% veh*km? + demographic growth!!! 24
