TMB also has the TMB Foundation, which takes care of TMB's historical heritage and promotes public transport values through social and cultural activities. The companies FMB and TB provide service in Barcelona and its metropolitan area covered by the Integrated Fare System (STI) of the metropolitan region of Barcelona, and they do so in a completely coordinated way which on a business level is achieved by sharing corporate and management structures. Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA, is the company responsible for producing the annual consolidated accounts, for the following reasons: — The Group's transport strategy is structured around Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA. — The business activity of Transports de Barcelona, SA, is complementary to that of Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA. — As a result of the previous points, Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA, heads up the Group's transport policy. 2017 Introduction 6 Management Report Furthermore, this is reinforced in terms of passengers carried, volume of business and the value of its fixed assets. As the main public transport operator for Barcelona, and as part of the daily life of thousands of citizens, TMB provides two regular transport networks (surface transport by bus and underground transport by metro) as well as various leisure transport options in order to: — Meet mobility needs and make journeys for the general public quicker and more convenient for reasons of work, shopping, leisure, etc. — Provide a public service that is accessible to everybody. — Improve the quality of life in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, cutting the journey times down between its various cities and towns. 2017 Introduction 7 Management Report Governing bodies In the case of Transports de Barcelona, SA, and Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA, the administrative and representative body of the company is the Board of Directors of each of these companies, which is the highest decision-making body.

The integrated management of the different services provided under the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) umbrella has enabled common management structures over the course of its history. That way, the various activities carried out at the heart of TMB are, whenever possible, managed in a common way across all of the companies making up TMB. The group has two management bodies: — The Executive Committee, which is TMB's highest executive management body, composed of seven senior managers from TMB, one of which is the chief executive officer who acts as its chair. — The Management Board, composed of the chair of TMB, the General Manager of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB), the director of AMB Mobility and Transports, the Executive Committee plus various senior managers from TMB.<1> 2017 Introduction 9 Management Report Mission, vision and values The mission of TMB is: TMB's values are: — Commitment and a vocation for public services.

  • Report Report INTRODUCTION
    Report Report INTRODUCTION The efforts the Catalan government is making to extend the public transport network to new points of the territory and improve the quality of the service have made a notable contribution to the increase in demand, especially in the second half of 2010. For example, in the sphere of the integrated fare system for the Barcelona area a total of 922.33 million journeys were recorded for 2010, 0.9% more than the previous year, thanks largely to the increase in the number of journeys by Metro, a 5.4% increase over 2009. Moreover, this upward tendency in the number of journeys made by public transport has been confirmed in the first quarter of 2011, and the forecasts for the close of the year LLUÍS RECODER I MirAllES already point to a record annual figure. Councillor for Territory and Sustainability and Chairman of the This recovery of demand is partly due to the set of measures taken to improve the infra- Metropolitan Transport Authority structure which the Catalan government is promoting in order to extend the public transport network and bring it to new centres of population, thus substantially broadening its area of coverage. It was in 2010 that new sections of the Metro came into operation, such as L9/L10 between Gorg and La Sagrera, L5 between Horta and Vall d’Hebron, and L2 between Pep Ventura and Badalona Pompeu Fabra. It was in the same year that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat opened the station at Volpelleres near Sant Cugat del Vallès. In the field of road public transport various bus lines have been modified and extended to adapt their routes to the new needs for access to strategic facilities and other points where a large number of journeys are concentrated.

    Fourth LACCEI International Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology (LACCET’2006) “Breaking Frontiers and Barriers in Engineering: Education, Research and Practice” 21-23 June 2006, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Keywords integration, transit, planning, finance, public private partnership 1.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.
