Previous plans

Challenges
• Ineffective infrastructure• Problems with traffic jams during rush hours • Through traffic in the city centre• Low capacity at the city bus station• Lag in road maintenance• The solutions demand large investments in
roads, tunnels/bridges etc.• People love their car…

Where are we going?
Future goals:– sufficient capacity on main roads– well-developed and effective public transportation
system
– a city centre without through traffic
– a well-developed net of pedestrian and cycle roads/lanes
– New main plan for for cycling and pedestrians?

…but how?
• Public transportation: development of routes and schedules, frequency, pricing, road standards etc.
• City environment, pedestrians and cycle measures: centre structures, quality, settlement patterns
• Car restrictions: parking strategies, pricing• Mobility management: stimulating/incentives
Ex: For businesses/firms to take more responsibility towards the emploees travel habits (environmental and health friendly travel methods)
