HLJ 2015 Helsinki Region Transport System Plan SUMMARY 3 MARCH 2015 Helsinki region HLJ 2015 Transport System Plan HLJ 2015 is a strategic plan taking an overall view of the transport system. The plan helps to ensure the flow of traffic also in the future in the 14 Helsinki region municipalities. The high rate of population growth in the region poses challenges for transport and the urban structure. The goal is to enable sustainable growth. The preparation of HLJ 2015 has been closely linked to the preparation of the Helsinki Region Land Use Plan and the Housing Strategy included in it. The plans provide a general outline of the future urban structure and transport system in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The planning is based on the premise that in 2050, the region is home to some 2 million people and over a Impacts million jobs. The plans together contribute to socio-eco- nomic efficiency, accessibility of the region and a more The impacts of the HLJ 2015 plan have been assessed The accessibility The metropolitan area coherent urban structure. as stipulated in the Act on the Assessment of the of the region climate target 2030 is improves achieved.

  • FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway Tunnel Between Finland and Estonia
    FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The world’s longest railway tunnel project that uses private funding Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The goal of the project is to construct an undersea railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia that serves both passenger and freight traffic and significantly reduces travel time between the countries. The travel time target between Helsinki Airport and Ülemiste airport in Estonia is approximately 20 minutes. The planned railway tunnel merges the Helsinki region and Tallinn into a single metropolis. The tunnel will connect Asia and Europe into a single hub for business, travel and traffic, since the tunnel project makes it possible to travel to Tallinn by train directly from Helsinki Airport. On the Estonian side, the possible connection with the Rail Baltica project will connect the region even more closely to Central Europe. Facts about the project • Tunnel length approx. 100 km. • The total cost of the project is estimated at EUR 15 billion. • The project is based on private funds. Control over the project company will remain in Finland, with project financing provided by international investors from all over the world. Equity will amount to 30% of the financing and 70% will be covered by debt. • At the moment, a one-way ticket costs 50 euros, a return ticket 100 euros and a yearly ticket 1,000 euros. Tickets are available from an online store: https://shop.finestbayarea.online/ • The project involves planning an artificial island which, according to the larger option, would enable real estate development on the island.

Lentorata yhtyisi rata- ja liikenneteknisistä syistä päärataan nykyisen Keravan aseman pohjoispuolella siten, että radalta on yhteys myös Lahden oikoradalle.

  • Questionnaire For
    Response to questionnaire for: Assessment of strategic plans and policy measures on Investment and Maintenance in Transport Infrastructure Country: Finland 1 INTRODUCTION Because of the geographical situation and the population density, traffic flows in Finland are quite low and travelling distances are long. Role of the motor traffic is predominant compared to other ways of transport. Development and quantity of sea traffic is directly subject to changes in economy. In the long term, role of the railroad traffic has been stable. Motor traffic and air traveling are on the increase. 1.1 Infrastructure In Finland, there are 765 km of motorways, 78 000 km of roads (of which 13 300 km are highways or main roads). Out of those 78 000 km, almost two-thirds are paved roads. Addition to that, there are 350 000 km of private roads. There are 5 919 km railroads, of which 52% are electric railroads. There aren’t any high speed lines in Finland. In Finland, there are 16 200 km of inland waterways, of which approx. 3 900 km are used in merchant shipping. Largest maritime ports by freight traffic are (with their handling capacity statistics from 2011) Sköldvik (import 12.74 mill.ton. / export 22.16 mill.ton.), Helsinki (import 6.29 mill.ton. / export 11.23 mill.ton.), Naantali (import 5.20 mill.ton / export 8.00 mill.ton.), HaminaKotka (import 5.1 mill.ton. / export 8.0 mill.ton.) and Raahe (import 4.83 mill.ton. / export 5.69 mill.ton.). Largest maritime ports by passenger traffic (with their statistics from 2011) are Helsinki (10.25 mill.

Alue on ollut yksi nopeimmin kasvaneista pääkaupunkiseudun työpaikka-alueista. Aviapoliksen alueella on noin 17 000 asukasta ja yli 30 000 työpaikkaa. Aviapoliksen linjastoa on viime vuosina täydennetty vastaamaan nykyistä kysyntää. Linjasto on kuitenkin ollut pitkään pääosin muuttumattomana, minkä vuoksi linjoille on tehty useampia alareittejä. Seurauksena on ollut lukuisa määrä eri reittivariaatioita, joista osaa ajetaan hyvin harvoin. Muutoksilla on kyetty vastaamaan yksittäisiin tarpeisiin, mutta laajempana kokonaisuutena linjasto on käyttäjälle osin sekava. Kehärata valmistuu vuonna 2015. Liikenteen lisääntyminen kasvattaa junien liikennöintikustannuksia 8,5 miljoonalla eurolla vuositasolla, minkä lisäksi kaluston pääomakustannukset kasvavat noin 9 miljoonaa euroa vuodessa. Kehärata tarjoaa suoran raideliikenneyhteyden alueelta Helsingin keskustaan sekä Vantaankosken ja pääradan varsille. Lisäksi kehärata parantaa merkittävästi Vantaan sisäistä poikittaisliikennettä. Bussiliikennettä sopeutetaan kehäradan tuomaan tarjonnan lisäykseen. Samalla bussiliikennettä selkeytetään muodostamalla runkolinjoja.
