1.2 - INTERREG IIIB Alpine Space Programme

Transport
This priority aims to foster the development of sustainable transport systems
with particular consideration of efficiency, intermodality and better accessibility.
Measure 2.1 Measure 2.2
Perspectives and analyses
This measure promotes the development of common per-
spectives and analysis in order to raise common issues and
to propose common solutions for transport problems. The
measure intends to support the different actors of mobility
by drawing their attention on long-range issues concerning
sustainable transport. Traffic evolution, environmental and
spatial concerns, technical regulations or improved connections
are some of the issues that can be addressed through
this measure.
The general objectives of this measure are the
following:
To develop strategies and instruments for sustainable
transport systems taking into account the Alpine Convention
and to establish an action plan for implementation
under special consideration of Alpine transport and environmental
problems (freight transport, tourism and leisure
traffic, land use and infrastructure, urban sprawl, pollution
and noise).
To increase the knowledge about the possibilities of the
acceptance for and the use of modern information technology
for all social, labour and cultural groups of the Alpine
Space.
To improve the accessibility of public services and institutions
to modern information technology.
Improvement of existing and promotion of future
transport systems by large scale and small scale
intelligent solutions such as intermodality
This measure promotes the development of intelligent solutions
to upgrade existing transport systems or to develop future
ones. The scope of measures embraces all the aspects
of mobility on different scales and fields of action. Passenger
or good transport, infrastructure or mobility management, local
or European concerns can thus be considered. Sustainability
as well as positive spatial and environmental impacts
are prerequisites of actions. In this concern, special emphasis
is given to innovative on-site-solutions for intermodality and
environmentally sound transport modes in order to achieve a
better integration of the various transport systems.
The general objectives of this measure are the
following:
To improve functionality and intermodality of existing transport
systems as well as infrastructure and services of environmentally
friendly transport modes, in particular of rail.
To preserve the existing public transport systems and to
improve their interconnectivity, also concerning systems
within the metropolitan areas and those of the rural territory.
To improve the accessibility of public services and institutions
to modern information technology.
9 projects are financed under
this priority for a total amount
of 25,1 million euros (approx.)
from which 12,2 million (approx.)
are covered by ERDF (European
Regional Development Fund).
