1. slide 1 WP D Integrating Mobility Management and Land Use Planning How can Mobility Management be included in the planning and building permission process of a new development? (D2)

2. slide 2 What is Mobility Management? Concept for changing traveller’s attitudes by –promoting sustainable transport –managing demand for car use Core-part: soft measures –information and communication –organising services / coordinating activities of different partners Often no large financial investment required High benefit-cost ratio (often > 10:1) Examples: site based mobility plans, car-pooling, mobility centres, travel awareness campaigns

3. slide 3 Objective: Making travel to and from the site more rational and sustainable by implementing Mobility Management measures – a choice of ways to get there Sites: companies, hospitals, schools, concert halls, sports arenas, housing areas, universities, etc. Main actors: developers, land-owners, tenants in cooperation with local authorities and others What is site based Mobility Management (MM)?

4. slide 4 Summary of site-based MM measures

5. slide 5 Why integrate Mobility Management and planning? Effective Mobility Management builds on: Good site accessibility by sustainable transport modes Measures (promotion, information, motivation), starting from beginning Public – private cooperation, to solve transport problems & mitigate negative transport impacts

6. slide 6 Strategies for public authorities Encouraging or requiring Mobility Management through –advice –part of negotiation –obligation Influencing the number of car parking spaces at new development –important “lever” to influence travel behaviour to a site Range of policies already exist to support these two strategies

7. slide 7 Policies supporting integration of Mobility Management and building permission process Promotion of car-free housing Promotion of car-free housing Access Contingent Model for regulating car traffic at multifunctional developments Access Contingent Model for regulating car traffic at multifunctional developments Encouraging the adoption of MM through environmental legislation Maximum parking standards Maximum parking standards Parking pay-off Parking pay-off Securing MM through inclusion in the parking regulation Securing MM through inclusion in the parking regulation Securing MM through inclusion in planning conditions and obligations Securing MM through inclusion in planning conditions and obligations MM advice during the planning or building permission process Securing MM through negotiation Securing MM through negotiation

8. slide 8 MM advice during planning and building permission process Policy and benefits Advice on Mobility Management measures (written information or active consulting service) Raise developers’ awareness about possibilities of MM When to use? Use first contacts between public authority and developer (planning phase of the project, preparation phase of request for planning or building permission, or DSDP development) Provider Transport planning agency at local (or regional) level External consultant employed by public authority Framework conditions MM expertise in the public administration (if not: staff training needed) Otherwise may need external experts Procedure for integration Inclusion in job-profile and training of existing staff Convincing politicians about the necessity of the service

9. slide 9 Securing MM through negotiation Policy and benefits MM measures are topic of negotiation (e.g. number of requested parking spaces accepted if developer implements MM measures) influencing developers’ consideration of MM without enforcing but by making a kind of deal When to use? Provide information at first contact with developers during planning phase of new development When approving planning/building permission, or Detailed Site Development Plan (DSDP) ProviderTransport planning agency at local (or regional) level Framework conditions Existing legal frameworks should allow the possibility to negotiate Topic and results of negotiation have to be fixed by contract

10. slide 10 Securing MM through inclusion in parking regulation Policy and benefits Parking regulation requires MM at new developments over a certain size enforce implementation of MM When to use? In planning stage of development, at request for building permission or during approval of Detailed Site Development Plan Provider Local (or regional) political authority; to avoid competition between municipalities benefits from standard at national level (strong recommendation of use at local level) Framework conditions Works better in areas with well developed sustainable transport network In addition: offer advice on MM to developers Procedure for integration Amendment of existing municipal, regional or national parking regulations

11. slide 11 Securing MM through inclusion in planning conditions and obligations Policy and benefits Integrate MM as requirement in existing planning conditions or obligations Enforce implementation of MM When to use? In planning stage of development, at request for building permission or during approval of Detailed Site Development Plan Provider Local (or regional) political authority; to avoid competition between municipalities benefits from standard at national level (strong recommendation of use at local level) Framework conditions Works better in areas with well developed sustainable transport network In addition: offer advice on MM to developers Procedure for integration Amendment of existing planning conditions and obligations at local level Flexible application of MM obligation according size, location, etc. of the development

12. slide 12 Promotion of car-free housing Policy and benefits Allow housing projects to build fewer parking spaces than normally required Enhanced consideration of MM When to use? Requirements of parking regulations or building codes considered by developers in planning stage of development, at request for building permission or during approval of Detailed Site Development Plan ProviderLocal (or regional) political authority Framework conditions Works better in areas with well developed sustainable transport network Conditions fixed by contract between public authority and developers or developer associations Procedure for integration Amendments in existing parking regulations or building codes linking conditions to the land (inclusion in the Land Registry)

13. slide 13 Access Contingent Model for regulating car traffic at mixed-use developments Policy and benefits Introduce maximum number of car trips permitted per year to/from large mixed-use developments (shopping areas, sports stadiums, etc.) Enhance consideration of MM When to use? Requirements of parking regulations or building codes considered by developers in planning stage of development, at request for building permission or during approval of Detailed Site Development Plan ProviderLocal (or regional) political authority Framework conditions Works better in areas with well developed sustainable transport network with larger developments Conditions for a max number of car trips must be fixed by contract between public authority and developers Procedure for integration Amendments of building codes, parking regulations on a local, regional or national level Setting norms on regional or national level

14. slide 14 Encouraging the adoption of MM through environmental legislation Policy and benefits Require developments requesting > a threshold number of parking spaces (e.g. 300) to deliver an Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIA) Number of requested parking spaces must be reduced and/or MM implemented if noise or pollution thresholds exceeded When to use? Requirements of environmental law must be considered by developer in planning stage of a development ProviderLocal, regional or national political authority Framework conditions Preferably environmental law requires EIA for developments with > certain number of parking spaces If MM required, conditions must be fixed by contract between public authority and developers Procedure for integration Amendment of existing environmental law in case that the existing doesn’t allow to integrate the request of an EIA

15. slide 15 Maximum parking standards Policy and benefits Change minimum rates to maximum parking standards or establish a range of minimum and maximum parking rates per type of use Relate parking standards to accessibility by public transport, bike and walk Fewer parking spaces permitted so MM more seriously considered by developers When to use? Requirements of environmental law and parking standards have to be considered by developer in planning stage of a development ProviderLocal, regional or national political authority Framework conditions Maximum parking standards should be developed as a norm at national or regional level No possibility of long term parking on public parking spaces Good quality of sustainable transport network in the area Procedure for integration Amendment of existing parking regulation on the basis of a new norm

16. slide 16 Parking pay-off (cash-out) Policy and benefits Invest money made from parking pay-off in improving sustainable transport in municipality (focus on new development zones) Releasing part of pay-off to developer with conditions that MM measures are implemented Improving quality of sustainable transport network and enhanced consideration of MM by developers When to use? Requirements of the parking regulation have to be considered by the developer in the planning stage ProviderLocal (or regional) political authority Framework conditions Possibility to re-direct parking pay-off money for purposes other than car parking Requirements for MM have to be fixed in a contract between developer and public authority Procedure for integration Amendment of local parking regulation and also in any relevant regional or national law
