Joining Forces Measures and Projects for climate friendly transport

Baseline: car 176 gr/km vs. 60 gr/km rapit transit railway CO2 emissions Thus: limit number and lenght of trips; target trips to walking, cycling, and PT

1 Integration of settlement development and public transport (regional plan and regional transportation plan) 2 Extension of rail network (new lines and stations) 3 Extension of services (quantity) 4 Improvement of services (quality) 5 Integration of services (e.g. tariff) 6 Limiting costs of PT for the public and travellers (public tender) 7 Integration of High Speed Trains with Regional PT (Stuttgart 21) 1 Integration: land use and public transport 1950 Strong growth, urbanization, and land use in the past

Demograhpy and sustainability tell us to limit future land use

Open space preservation and costs of infrastructure urge us to 1995 concentrate future growth

G 1 Recent example: Regional Climate Prognosis 2008

2 degree rise in temperature/best case scenario:  Rise in medium temperature from 9- 11 to 11-13 degrees  Less rain/snow: 30% summer, 20% winter  Over 30 days temperatures resulting in health problems  Urban areas vulnerable  Costs: 30 Billion Euros till 2050

Conclusions:  Fresh/cool air corridors vs. Single house/office cooling  Limit land use growth/smarth growth/new dimension of „quality“ 2 Extensions of S-Bahn Network in progress

Line extension S4

New Line S60

Line extension S1 2 Extensions of S-Bahn Network in progress

New Line S60 Project S60 Renningen - Böblingen • Expand S-Bahn services on freight tracks • rail passenger access e.g. to Sindelfingen app. 61.000 inhabitants, 60.000 workplaces • convert single track to dual track section • 5 new stations serviced • eliminate level crossings • noise and vibration protection 3 Extension of services (quantity)

S-Bahn shares rail network with regional and interregional trains Track length under S-Bahn operation 177km 3 radial and 3 diameter lines of up to 59 km length 650 train trips during 20 hours of the day 71 Stations 330,000 passengers per day Running at fixed time intervals – 30 mins throughout the day 15 mins in peak times (6.00-8.00 and 15.00-19.00h) Night liner buses at weekends Additional Services to new trade fair at the airport 4 Quality parameter in S-Bahn contract objektive parameter (70%)

Objectives of tender process of S-Bahn Services

• Ensure good rail services for the region • Ensure economical rail services • Transparency in granting aids • Fair tender process and efficient competition to make use of market opportunities 7 Integration of High Speed Trains with Regional PT: Project Stuttgart 21

Main projects: •New HST track Stuttgart – Ulm (Munich) •New HST track main station – airport •New main through station under ground •Extension of city centre S-Bahn - a sustainable - i.e. climate friendly - means to join forces in the Stuttgart Region
