7ii - Developing and improving environmentally-friendly (including low-noise) and low-carbon transport systems, including inland waterways and maritime transport, ports, Investment priority multimodal links and airport infrastructure, in order to promote sustainable regional and local mobility The public intervention will be focused on the final-users and passengers as well as managers of transport infrastructure authorities. SO 7ii2: Following types of activities are indicatively envisaged: Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans preparation • Development of infrastructure for public transport companies which is dedicated to implementation of energy efficient solutions: • A proper analysis of the existing situation and expected developments of the Transport System and socio-economic context in urban and regional areas, in a perspective of Sustainable Mobility/Integrated Public Transport Plans, should identify the needs of rehabilitating/upgrading existing infrastructure or of creating new ones where mobility levels will justify it. These plans will be developed first. On the other side, this might also mean to dismiss or functionally downgrade some parts of the network where expected mobility levels become non relevant. Infrastructure investments will be primarily focused on public transport and low/zero emission modes and will be accompanied by complementary mobility management policies and interventions, together with appropriate ITS installations. development of park&ride infrastructure and systems: • One of the key aspects to achieve a good public transport system and for the success of integrated transport systems encouraging the modal shift from private to public transport and zero emission modes is to increase and facilitate the intermodality. In this sense, together with the development of proper intermodal terminals, the development of facilities such as Park & Ride, Bike & Ride, etc. will help providing commuters another option to access the city, avoiding congestion in the core urban areas and encouraging the use of public transport. The location of these facilities will be analysed in detail case by case taking into account their functionality, e.g. Park & Ride should normally be located on the outskirts of the city next to public transport terminals. purchase and modernization of passenger rolling stock (trams, eco-buses, light rail) with low CO2 emissions for public transport operators: • With some exceptions, the current fleet of public transport vehicles is aged and based on outdated and inefficient technologies. In order to increase the
