Innovative ideas and how to take advantage of them
12 November 2013, Stuttgart, Germany
Siegfried Rupprecht, Rupprecht Consult

Framework conditions of EU – Transport Policy
 Trends
 higher profile of urban transport (climate change!)
 clearer priorities of networks, topics, instruments
 EU funding more strongly connected to EU policy goals
 stronger monitoring of policy implementation

 strategies for alternative fuels and charging infrastructure
("Clean Power for Transport"; Jan 2013; incl. draft directive)
 consultations and roadmaps to implement Transport White Paper
 new infrastructure policy (TEN-T; Oct 2013) and "Connecting Europe Facility"
 European Innovation Partnership "Smart Cities and Communities"
(High Level Group, Oct 2013)
 operational planning of regional policy programmes for 2014 – 2020
 research and innovation programme "Horizon 2020" 2014 – 2020
(launch: mid Dec. 2013)
 Urban Mobility Package (end 2013?)
… and still a lot to do!

 sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP)
 criteria for more effective planning (ELTIS-Guidelines)
 "high quality planning" increasingly basis for EU funding
 traffic safety: "zero fatality" vision
 urban freight logistics
 maintain urban core functions
 access management
 which systems, policies are effective ("patchwork")
 improve coordination among actors

 advanced bus concepts
 traffic safety analysis
 cooperative ITS
 modal shift strategies
 electric public transport
 urban freight
 growth in public transport
 walking & cycling
 sustainable urban mobility plans
 open data
 multimodal travel info
 innovative infrastructure
 vehicles & batteries
 small business innovation
 "Smart Cities and Communities"
 "CIVITAS 2020"

 large lighthouse projects integrating energy, transport, ICT sectors
 partnership between municipalities and industry
 holistic approach integrating existing or very near to market technologies in an innovative way:
 (nearly zero) or low energy districts (energy from local resources, refurbishment of buildings, crosscutting ICT for management of energy/ transport systems)
 integrated infrastructures (networks, street scenes, sites, including smart grids, broadband infrastructures, poly-networks)
 sustainable urban mobility ( integration of energy/ fuelling infrastructure with vehicle fleets powered by alternative energy carriers for public and private transport, including logistics and freight)
 200 m€ EU-funding 2014/15 (plus other sources)

 "CIVITAS 2020" extended to entire urban mobility area of transport work programme
 EU-funding 100 m€ in 2014/15
 2014: research and demonstration tasks
 2015: research and demonstration tasks (incl. 50 m€ for CIVITAS demonstration
 two-stage application process
 timetable (1 st call)
 publication mid Dec 2013,
 stage 1 proposals end March/ stage 2 proposals August 2014?
 project start end 2014/ early 2015 (?)
 up to 70% funding (plus 25% flat overheads)
 CIVITAS demos:
 EU contribution: 12 to 18 m€
 consortia of 4 – 5 cities with strong common interests

 measures selected from integration areas:
 clean fuels and vehicles
 collective passenger transport
 demand management strategies
 mobility management
 safety and security
 car-independent lifestyles
 urban freight logistics
 transport telematics
