Ever since, as well as implementing this essential function to organise a truly integrated public transport system, the Consortium has also consolidated its essential role as a network planning body. It is now considered a model and a benchmark for many other regional systems. This document provides you with all the relevant information and a detailed description of our system’s resources and activities. “Madrid A World Reference” presents a comprehensive overview of what our Public Transport System is and what it represents. The people of Madrid justifiably consider this Public Transport System to be one of their major sources of pride and it is used by an enormous number of citizens. The different infrastructure Plans between 1995 and 2011 developed by the Regional Government have resulted in the most significant enlargement in the history of our underground system, the third largest in the world, including 36 km of a new light rail network and the construction of several new generation metropolitan interchanges. These Plans together with other actions have transformed the public transport system of Madrid into a world class reference. During the last years, recession is playing a significant role in the economy of Western Europe and on the daily habits of the citizens. This situation has led to an overall reduction of mobility, both private car and public transport. We have to achieve a more efficient public transport system, in which infrastructure and service management is improved, offering the same levels of quality in the system. Despite the success and importance of what has already been achieved, the Madrid Regional Government is facing new challenges, dealing with the fact that a modern and dynamic society requires ongoing commitment, permanently seeking new solutions. The time has arrived in which infrastructure is not the main issue, but mobility management and application of new technologies is a key part of public transport provision. In this new stage, the main challenges of public transport development are focused on the consolidation of the Modernisation Plan of suburban buses, involving more than 2,000 buses in the region which provide high technological solutions for information, operation and coordination issues, at the same time with the comprehensive introduction of the new Public transport smart contactless card, which is being currently set up, all magnetic transport passes will be changed into this new high technologic support. Moreover, the development of the integrated management centre CITRAM, for all public transport networks is a challenge done reality. The role of CRTM as a key reference in sustainable mobility in the region, linking public transport with other environmentally friendly modes and with a coordination between administrations and private sector is also another increasing need that we are addressing. With these projects, we hope to increase the efficiency of our system, maintaining and improving its quality and facing the new challenges of sustainability that we have to meet. A sound financial framework of the whole system seeking new funding sources and partnerships are also part of the objectives to be met. We aim to offer the people of Madrid an increasingly faster and more efficient service of public transport. Being an international reference in Public Transport has made us to receive visits from different countries and also to be present worldwide in different associations (UITP, EMTA,...), actions and projects, exporting the know- how of the region and learning from other cities working in a global and coordinated environment.

Nevertheless, since 2008, the economic crisis has had a significant impact on the use of transport in the region. WR-2013-COI-ENG-BO_Ingles 11/03/13 09:10 Página 2 Territorial Structure The current organisation of the Spanish state, TERRITORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE REGION OF MADRID apart from the national government, is based on Autonomous Communities, which have extensive responsibilities at regional level, and munici- palities, which represent local territorial bodies. Madrid region is one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities and its territory is made up of 179 municipalities, with a clearly defined functional structure in three zones, or "rings": • Municipality of Madrid, as the area's main body, concentrating the majority of activities. • Metropolitan Ring, which consists of a number of large and medium-sized municipalities MADRID around the municipality of Madrid, closely related with each other. • Rest of the region, with small and medium- sized municipalities. In 2012, the city of Madrid had a population of 3.2 million inhabitants, accounting for 49.8% of the Madrid City Ring A region's total population. Its central core, the so- Metropolitan Ring B called "Central Almond", is home to 31.0% of the Regional Ring C population and provides a large proportion of the National Motorways Toll Motorways region’s jobs. Ring Roads Municipal Boundaries Since the final quarter of last century, the population's distribution in these three functional rings has shown a dynamic process characterised INHABITANTS IN THE REGION OF MADRID by a population loss from the municipality of Population Surface area Density Municipalities 1986 2012* (km2) (inhab/km2) Madrid.
