Questionnaire for Pilot Sites Collection of Facts and Information of Pilot Sites

Questionnaire for pilot sites

Collection of facts and information of pilot sites for building a comparative, transnational typology of alpine territories

For project partners: Please fill in the predefined gaps and boxes and try to answer all the questions clearly and completely. Use the predefined boxes and stick to the space limitations. If space isn’t enough, please use the attached document to add more information. The questionnaire will be

transferred directly into a kind of factsheet of your pilot site. Therefor please try to give clear information and formulate it well, so that it can be used for presenting your pilot site. If you have questions concerning the filling in, the meaning of a question or anything else, do not hesitate to contact us (iSpace – Dagmar Lahnsteiner, [email protected], CEREMA – David Caubel, [email protected])

mobility issues(+ sources)? Think of local, regional and national scale. (max. 5 listings with max 200 characters each)

To improve railway network in Haute-Savoie To reduce traffic density in highways at the border of the pilot site To integrate bigger transport projects at a larger scale in mobility planning of the pilot site To pool touristic and commuting infrastructures To develop electric bike

Planning measures: What are concrete planning measures already in use within the municipality/ territory, helping to reduce CO2 and foster/push the usage and implementation of public transport and other low CO2 mobility options? E.g. car- reduced building projects, precautionary land use (saving areas next to public transport infrastructure for building compact settlements), subsidy for compact settlements, strengthening of town centres, regulation of residential densities next to public transport stops (max. 5 listings with max.300 characters each)

More density in town-centres and villages Land use under control Strategic areas for urban planning Car-pool parking spaces

-PART D: STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES –

In conclusion, regarding requirements, offer, planning and implementation of low CO2 mobility and related issues, what are: (max. 800 charcters each)

- strengths & benefits of the municipality/territory? - weaknesses & problems of the municip./ territory? - Well-controlled urbanism - Low density - Strong initiatives from local authorities and - Altitude and slopes local associations - Few infrastructures and services - A pilot-site structured and influenced by bigger urban areas at its boundaries - A visibility of the mobility supply is missing - opportunities & challenges of the municip./territory? - threats & restrictions of the municipality/territory? - Developing car-sharing (because destinations - Fuel poverty due to transport prices are mainly urban areas at the borders) - The different evolutions of governances - Electric bicycles in mountainous areas structures - Risk of land pressure : due to the growing influence of Geneva on the north of the pilot site and of Chambéry at the south

-PART E: BEST PRACTICES AND EXPERIENCES TO SHARE-

Are there best practices or experiences examples (maybe yet mentioned) of reduced CO2 mobility offers / projects or initiatives:

- WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY/TERRITORY OR THE REGION which work very well and can be recommended to other municipalities with similar conditions?

Examples with short explanations (max. 5 listings with Weblink or contact for further information max.300 characters each) 6

Carsharing in the municipality Le Châtelard and in Réseau Citiz : http://citiz.coop/ Montmélian Carpooling to train stations Mediation carpooling through “Baugez-vous” http://www.baugez-vous.fr/covoiturage/ "The Trottibus Walking School Buses“ http://www.baugez-vous.fr/moblite-douce/ Hitch-hiking : experimented between Annecy and http://www.baugez-vous.fr/stop-ameliore/ Faverges

- from OTHER MUNICIPALITIES/TERRITORIES which would be a good solution for the municipality/territory under review?

Examples with short explanations (max. 5 listings with Weblink or contact for further information max.300 characters) Cable transport : this transport mode can be a solution in mountainous areas or if there are physical obstacles or barriers Coastal Navigation on lakes Car-sharing by applications on smartphones: one of mobility solutions can be to create an application that permits to inhabitants to find easily a driver who goes to the same place. It can be particularly interesting for young people who live in more isolated areas and who want to go to the town-centre for example.

Are there lessons learned from less successful or failed experiences that could be shared in order to improve forthcoming actions in municipalities with similar conditions? (max. 500 characters)

- Difficulties to develop hitch-hiking in the pilot site, problems of stop signs on trunk roads and on possibilities for cars to stop at buses stops. - Difficulties to communicate about new transport services, and to sustain these mediations - To adapt mobility solutions to different populations (young people, old people, etc.) and different uses or practices

-PART F: TOOLS FOR MOBILITY AND SPATIAL PLANNING –

Are there any tools/ software products your local authority uses to model effects on land-use and/or transport (e.g. low carbon scenarios) within the process of mobility or spatial planning? Please name them (+ Link and contact Person if available).

- “MCMA“ : Tool in creation : developed by the EPF Haute-Savoie, addressed to local authorities who want to define property policies in order to reduce land use. EPF Haute-Savoie works with EPFL Savoie to apply this tool to all the territory of Savoie.

- “MODEOS“ : The tool has been developed by Syndicat Mixte Métropole Savoie. It links transport supply (road network, public transport system, bicycle lanes, etc.) with demand. It also modelises the impact of projects (as well infrastructures construction projects, housing projects, economic development projects,etc.) on mobility. With this tool, different scenarios can be elaborated and tested. It includes projects at short and long term in the territory or near the territory.

Do you make any tools for estimating effects of individual mobility behaviour and/or location choice available to your citizens? Or do you provide any information or links about such tools on your homepage? Please name them (+ Link and contact Person if available).

If you could wish for a (software) tool for sustainable land-use and/or transport decision making, what would it be like? Please name important characteristics, input, output, geographical scale and target groups.

A tool addressed to municipalities and inter-municipalities, would be used to elaborate planning documents, which calculates financial and environmental impacts when an area is aimed to be urbanised.
