WHERE DID WE CAME FROM? Mobility management and mobility planning processes as an integrated concepts were not known/used at all until 21 st century. Activities related to MM organized by local authorities or non-governmental organizations were commonly aimed at a specific goal, not related to changing mobility habits and life quality of population. There is high need to decrease dependence from trips by car (1 st place in ES, EUROSTAT) and private car ownership (2-4 place in ES) 2
CURRENT SITUATION Congestion; Lack of spaces for parking; Public transport doesn t meet passengers expectation for quality; Not convenient infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists and people with special needs; Lack of maintained green spaces; Increasing air pollution and noise. 3
IDENTIFYING AND WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS from 2006 Local level: public authorities, planners, regulators, academic staff and public transport operators. Regional level: Region Councils National level: public authorities from European Parliament, LR Parliament LR Environmental Ministry, LR Ministry of Transport and Communications; 4
WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED Very strong support in Ministry of Transport and Communication, less but still in other related Ministries; Quite high awareness about Mobility Management and Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning processes in local authorities; Recognition of the topic in various national legal and strategic documents. 5
SUMP COMPONENTS (according to Lithuanian Guidelines for SUMP ) SUMP components Existing mobility analysis Thematic areas analysis Urban mobility scenarios and action plan submission 6
EXISTING MOBILITY ANALYSIS Congestion; The existing spatial planning documents, development and strategy programs analysis; Urban population growth and trend analysis; Traveling statistics (speed, time spent, price and etc.); Modal split; Statistic of Accidents (by mode of transport). 7

E-cars can drive in the Public tranport lane. Free charging stations. During 2017 will be installed 5 fast-charging stations at the city limit, Project is funded by European Union. Development of the charging facilities across Vilnius. 13
SO CITIES DON T NECESSARY NEED TO BE FUNDED TO INVEST TO SUSTAINABILITY. Here is the list of measures, we had implemented in Vilnius City already, thus tested our decisions : Public transport enhancements New public transport systems (BRT ) Parking policy Cycling and bike sharing 14
Sustainable Vilnius SUMP VIL NIU S Urban Mobility PLAN VISION, STRATEGIC GOALS 15
PROBLEMS IN A CITY! One s time spent in a traffic jam per year 32 h! That much transit trips by car are made in city centre 40 % 16
PROBLEMS IN A CITY! Not everyone is equally save in a street cyclists get injured during accidents in Vilnius 4 times more often than other. 4 x more often! Infrastructure is not always implemented properly to fit special people needs, central part of the city is adapted the best, suburban parts are often forgotten. 17
PROBLEMS IN A CITY WELFARE! That much of income is dedicated for having a car and meeting ones mobility needs. 15 %! Because of low physical activity more and more people obese, this number had even doubled in some age groups during past years. x 2 18
PROBLEMS IN A CITY! That many citizens live in excessed noise zones, where 70 % of cases are caused by transport. 78,3 thous. Main noise sources in Vilnius agglomeration : cars 93 %, airplanes 4,8 %, railway 1,4 %, industry 0,8 %. 93 %! 4,8 % 1,4 % 19
EXCESSED NOISE ZONES (CAUSED BY CAR TRAFFIC) ~ 29 % Excessed noise zones Schools/kindergarte ns in excessed noise zones 166 schools/kindergart ens are located in excessed noise zones 20
ZONES, WHERE AIR POLLUTION IS ABOVE SAFE (CAUSED BY CAR TRAFFIC) ~ 6 % Air pollution above safe Schools/kindergarte ns located in polluted zones 36 schools/kindergart ens are located in polluted zones 21
MORE CARS MORE ACCIDENTS 18 killed The most dangerous sections in 2015. We have 2 accidents in this zone daily. Overall loss in 2015: 671 people were hurt, damage ~ 44,7 mln. Eur. 22
VILNIUS VISION 2030 TRAVELLING IN VILNIUS SAFE, FUN AND COMFORTABLE! Forming/changing society s travelling habits Management/ regulation of motorised transport Coordination of urban development By encouraging and improving conditions to travel by public transport, cycle or walk. 1. XX proc. more of commuting trips on foots or with bicycle; 2. To achieve that for XX proc. of citizens using public transport would be more convenient than riding a car. Eliminating transit from old part Eliminating of Vilnius and transit achieving from decrease old part of of motorisation Vilnius and achieving level. decrease of motorisation level. 6 strategic goals 3. By XX proc. to decrease air and noise pollution, waste of time, number of accidents and lack of physical activity. 4. To reduce by XX proc. traffic flows in central part, inner residential areas and ZZ proc. in main metropolitan arteries. Regulating urban sprawl and ensuring effective management of urban freight 5. Urban policy should ensure accessibility by 3 means of transport at least. 6. XX proc. of motorised spaces give to public. To implement Shared spaces concept. 23
THEREFORE 3 CLEAR METHODICAL APPROACHES FOR SELECTING MEASURES: I Behavioural changes, Behavioural educating market changes, educating market II Decreasing negative Decreasing transport impact negative transport impact III Improving quality and Improving accessibility quality of public and accessibility spaces of public spaces MEASURES 24
MEASURES It is crucial to check/test effectiveness of measures before choosing them. For this we will do: MODELLING ECONOMICAL ASSESMENT GOOD CASE STUDIES ANALYSIS 25
