om projektet
about the project
Projektet ska utveckla och implementera lösningar för transporttjänster anpassade till landsbygdsturism områden i
Norra Periferin. Turismen är viktig för ekonomisk och social hållbarhet i många samhällen i norra periferi området.
De tjänster som utvecklas i projektet kommer att underlätta utvecklingen av turismen och samtidigt minska koldioxidutsläpp och lokala trafikstockningar från bilar under högsäsong. Detta kommer också att tjäna som exempel för
resten av programområdet.
Projektet syftar även till att visa innovativa, hållbara transporter och transporttjänster information som är miljömässigt och ekonomiskt lönsamma för tursimområden. De nya tjänsterna kommer att förbättra tillgängligheten med
kollektivtrafik och långsiktigt uppmuntra ett minskat bilberoende vilket leder till mer långsiktiga ekonomiska och
miljömässiga fördelar.
Tjänsterna omfattar nya eller förbättrade bussar som drivs med en flexibilitet för att möta lokala och säsongsbetonade krav på trafiken samt bättre information och integration av resmöjligheter med alternativ för individuell reseplanering till och inom landsbygden. Medel för att göra detta är busservice, ondemand trafik och flexibla tidtabeller
beroende på säsong i de svenska vinterturismområdena , med stöd av IT-applikationer och småskaliga transporttjänster anpassade till besökarnas krav på östra Island. Det inkluderar också utveckling och implementering av
smarta kortsystem för lokala resor inom turismområden i Nordirland och Irland och utveckling av en interaktiv
webbplats för reseplanering i högländerna i Skottland.
The TransTourism partnership is developing and implementing solutions for transport services adapted to rural tourism areas in the Northern
Periphery. Tourism is important to the economic and social sustainability of many communities in the Northern periphery area. The services developed
in the project will facilitate development of tourism in the project area whilst reducing carbon emission and local congestion from private cars at peak
season. This will also serve as examples for the rest of the programme area.
The project aims to demonstrate innovative, sustainable transport and transport information services that are environmentally beneficial and economically viable for rural tourism areas. The new services will improve accessibility by public transport and encourage lower car dependency for tourism
activities in the project areas leading to longer term economic and environmental benefits.
The services includes new or improved bus services, operated with a flexibility to meet local and seasonal demands on traffic as well as better
information and integration of travel opportunities with options for individual travel planning to and within rural areas. Means to do this are shuttle bus
services, on demand traffic and flexible time tables according to season in the Swedish winter tourism areas, supported by IT applications and small
scale transport services adapted to visitor’s demands in East Iceland. It also includes development and implementation of smart card systems for local
travels in the tourism areas in Northern Ireland and Ireland and development of an interactive website for travel planning in the Highlands of Scotland.
