  • Project Public Transport Interconnections and Cable Technologies
    Asnières-sur-Seine, 1 June 2015 Press Release LAUNCH OF “I2TC” PROJECT PUBLIC TRANSPORT INTERCONNECTIONS AND CABLE TECHNOLOGIES CABLE TRANSPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES The aim of the I2TC project is to adapt cable transport systems, typically used in mountain settings, to the requirements, challenges and needs of modern and sustainable cities. I2TC stands for “public transport interconnections and cable technologies”. This applied R&D project received funding from the French government after winning a call for projects (Fonds unique interministériel 17). It is being carried out by an Eiffage-led consortium comprising POMA, a cable transport specialist; RATP, a public transport corporation; CD- VIA, a consulting firm; The Vibrant Project, a digital agency; the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne; and engineering schools ENSTA ParisTech and École Centrale de Lyon. Certified by the Advancity and LUTB competitiveness clusters, the €4.3 million project receives €1.6 million in funding from the Fonds unique interministériel,* the City of Paris and the Île-de-France and Rhône-Alpes regions. The three-year I2TC project will encourage the development of cable-drawn urban transport both domestically and worldwide and will spotlight France’s excellence in this field. The project’s major goal is to relieve traffic congestion by overcoming various obstacles and congested roads and by taking fullest advantage of the third, overhead dimension as a dedicated public transport lane. By avoiding interference with ground vehicle traffic, this method of transport provides an opportunity to improve dense or suburban sections of metropolitan areas and extend existing urban networks. I2TC takes a market-based approach to implementing sustainable development objectives, with a strong focus on contemporary and future cities’ social and civic goals as well as a low-carbon, economical and energy-efficient environmental solution leading to significant urban improvement.

While the world population is expected to grow to 8.3 billion by 2030, public transport will remain the backbone of multi-modal mobility services in the future. The future market will have options within multi-modal mobility. As per UITP’s Grow with Public Transport Strategy, almost 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas by 2025. This implies that people will want and need to make more journeys. Urban Mobility: Think Big Act Smart is the slogan of 2016 MENA Transport Congress & exhibition. This slogan is selected to ensure that we liberate the cities of the future from the environmental, economic and social consequences of traffic congestion. The congress program will attract governments, city authorities and transport professionals from different part of the world in order to share knowledge and experience. MENA Transport Congress & Exhibition & National Association of Public Transport has joint ventured to stage school transport conference together, thus enhancing the program. The public transport authorities of the region are also keen and investing in school transport operation projects like Roads and Transports Authority (RTA) who has recently established a school transport department and ventured into school transport operation aiming at providing safe and smooth transport for all students of different ages.

However: • We believe that all funded services need to be brought into the calculation, not just those that have been procured by tender. A consistent approach needs to be taken to services which operate on a part- commercial/part-supported basis, including where individual journeys are supported in part, for example through a de-minimis payment to cover a diversion of an otherwise commercial journey.

  • UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction File Structure
    UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction This file gives detailed country notes on the UNECE tram and metro statistics dataset. These metadata describe how countries have compiled tram and metro statistics, what the data cover, and where possible how passenger numbers and passenger-km have been determined. Whether data are based on ticket sales, on-board sensors or another method may well affect the comparability of passenger numbers across systems and countries, hence it being documented here. Most of the data are at the system level, allowing comparisons across cities and systems. However, not every country could provide this, sometimes due to confidentiality reasons. In these cases, sometimes either a regional figure (e.g. the Provinces of Canada, which mix tram and metro figures with bus and ferry numbers) or a national figure (e.g. Czechia trams, which excludes the Prague tram system) have been given to maximise the utility of the dataset. File Structure The disseminated file is structured into seven different columns, as follows: Countrycode: These are United Nations standard country codes for statistical use, based on M49. The codes together with the country names, region and other information are given here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/ (and can be downloaded as a CSV directly here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/#). City: This column gives the name of the city or region where the metro or tram system operates. In many cases, this is sufficient to identify the system. In some cases, non-roman character names have been converted to roman characters for convenience.

  • Aéroports De Paris a Proposal to Promote the Competitiveness of the Air Transport Sector to the Benefit of Passengers, Local Areas and Employment
    Aéroports de Paris A proposal to promote the competitiveness of the air transport sector to the benefit of passengers, local areas and employment The principal measures in the 2016-2020 Economic Regulation Agreement proposal ©Jouanneaux, ADP - 1 - Augustin de Romanet Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris The air transport industry is one of the principal drivers of international growth and one of the French economy’s greatest assets. It contributes in a decisive way to the country’s attractiveness and competitiveness. Everything must therefore be done to strengthen this industry, which is facing competition and new passenger demands, and to transform its growth into new business and new jobs for the Paris region. Aéroports de Paris will play its full part in this endeavour. The industry is growing and creating new jobs, but the changes underway are intensifying competition among airlines, and among major cities and their airports to capture global growth. Airports can no longer be considered as protected players. Against this background, the 2016-2020 Economic Regulation Agreement that we put forward here takes on a new dimension: that of a tool to win market share and create value for the entire industry. We have drawn on all of the levers we have at our disposal to ensure the consistency, effectiveness and fairness of this proposal. The investment programme has been carefully tailored to the requirements in terms of capacity, safety and quality. The pricing structure project has undergone in-depth changes and will foster the development of international and connecting traffic. The productivity effort Aéroports de Paris is ready to deploy is unprecedented.
