Mobility surveys

On October 3, 2006, through Decree 362/2006, the National Mobility Guidelines (DNM), applicable throughout the territory of Catalonia, were approved. They have the nature of a territorial plan and must serve for the preparation of the different mobility instruments established by law 9/2003: mobility master plans, specific plans and urban mobility plans.

The DNM are based on the conclusions established from the diagnosis made on the state of the different types of mobility in the Catalan territory and the future scenarios foreseen in terms of demography, the economy and mobility.

The DNM are based on the integration of six guiding principles:

- Configure a more efficient transportation system to improve the competitiveness of the national production system.
- Increase social integration by providing more universal accessibility.
- Increase the quality of life of citizens.
- Improve the quality of health of citizens.
- Provide greater security in terms of travel.
- Establish more sustainable mobility patterns.

Currently, a prior public consultation has started on the Draft Decree approving the National Mobility Guidelines, which aims to collect the proposals that entities linked to the mobility sector in Catalonia can make in order to consistently review the National Mobility Guidelines. mobility.

Within the framework of the Bicycle Table, the Government of the Generalitat of Catalonia approved, through Agreement GOV / 160/2019, of November 5, the Catalan Bicycle Strategy 2025 (ECB2025), promoted by the Department of Territory and Sustainability in collaboration with other departments. Other organizations and local entities involved, as well as entities from the world of bicycles, also participate in the Table.

The strategy aims to:

1. Establish planning and development tools, promotion and training to promote the use of bicycles as an active and sustainable mode of transport, both for reasons of daily mobility and for leisure, sports and tourism.
2. join forces in favor of a cycling and pedaling Catalonia. To help this necessary transformation of mobility, this document was created as the roadmap of the Government of the Generalitat of Catalonia, open to the adhesion of the rest of administrations, institutions, companies and organizations with an impact on policies in favor of cycling.

This guide proposes a unified and coherent framework to regulate all aspects of municipal UFD management. In particular, it aims to be a guide of criteria for the planning of the main strategic lines that are currently identified as having the greatest impact on the improvement of UFD management.

It is also a guide for updating municipal ordinances, as it proposes a basic reference and complementary articles to develop each strategic line, so that each municipality can adapt it to its specific characteristics.

Finally, the guide includes some case studies and good practices to stimulate reflection based on concrete examples.

The White Paper on Urban Freight Distribution analyses various solutions that have been applied in different cities around the world in order to cope with the increase of goods vehicles. The solutions analysed include different measures such as implementing urban consolidation centres, off-peak delivery pilots, the use of alternative fuels or the implementation of new regulations. The solutions are supported by concrete examples in order to identify the elements of the implementation. 

The main objective of the document is to provide technicians, managers and planners involved in urban freight distribution (UFD) with potential solutions to mitigate the effects of freight vehicles in cities and to help design and plan better solutions for a more efficient UFD. 

Define the pending actions and the appropriate tools that the Administration will provide to fully develop the necessary airport network with the incorporation of the new network of commercial airports in Catalonia.

Priorities of the Plan for airports, aerodromes and heliports in Catalonia

- Promote the network of commercial airports and aerodromes in Catalonia to improve the capacity of the Catalan economy in an increasingly global environment.
- Support the consolidation of Barcelona as an international airport with long-distance and quality connections.
- Promote the airport city as the engine of economic activity and connect the project with the logistics area of ​​the Free Zone and the port of Barcelona.
- Expand the infrastructures of the Girona airport.
- Support the new Reus Master Plan and the investment program to increase the number of passengers and their diversification.
- Extend and consolidate a network of aerodromes.
- Strengthen the network of heliports in the task of services of social interest and community interest and promote them as instruments that facilitate the establishment of companies that use the helicopter for their movements.
Collaborate in the revitalization of the aeronautical industry in Catalonia, promote training, research and innovation in this sector.

Traffic gauges are the systems for measuring the intensity and counting the volume of vehicles passing through the roads where they are installed. In this way, the IMD can be obtained, the average daily intensity of vehicles passing through a certain point on a road. The gauging corresponding to the road network of the Government of Catalonia is managed by the Road Facilities and Equipment Service of the General Directorate of Mobility Infrastructures. The purpose of obtaining and publishing this data is to raise awareness of the demand for mobility on the roads, that is, the use that is being made of these infrastructures.

The Catalonia 2020-2030 Commuter Plan constitutes the Proposal for Actions in infrastructure
railway and rolling stock, to respond to the needs of a future demand Increasing to the Network
Cercanías of Catalonia until the horizon year 2030.
The Scope of the Plan includes the one corresponding to the Railway services owned by the Government of Catalonia and provided under the Commercial Denomination of Cercanías of Catalunya (Regional and Cercanías), operated by Renfe, on the Iberian gauge Railway Network of General Interest of the State (RFIG) in Catalonia, managed by Adif. The Plan responds to a mobility strategy that places the user at the center of decision-making and, in Consequently, it focuses on responding to your present and future needs.
 

The Department has drawn up the Transport Infrastructure Plan for Catalonia (PITC) with the aim of defining in an integrated manner the network of road, rail and logistics infrastructures necessary for Catalonia with the time horizon of 2026, and intends to extend it with the rest of the infrastructures, port and airport in the short term, in order to constitute a complete infrastructure plan for Catalonia.

This Plan continues the interrupted tradition of infrastructure planning in Catalonia. The first two infrastructure plans, that of the Commonwealth of Catalonia (1922) and the General Public Works Plan (1935), could not be implemented due to political circumstances beyond the plans. The 1985 Road Plan (revised in 1995) has thus been the first and the only land infrastructure plan that normally runs out of time.

The PITC has the character of a sectoral territorial plan, in accordance with Law 23/1983, of November 21, on territorial policy, and a specific plan for the purposes of what is established in Law 9/2003, of June 13, on the mobility.

STRATEGIC PLANNING OBJECTIVES

• Improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the global transport system by optimizing the use of existing capacities.
• Promote balanced economic development as a tool at the service of overcoming the crisis.
• Promote sustainable mobility combining its economic and social effects with respect for the environment.
• Reinforce territorial cohesion and the accessibility of all State territories through the Transportation System.
• Promote the functional integration of the transportation system as a whole through an intermodal approach.

"The Plan of measures for the prevention of sexual harassment on public transport, approved by the Department of the Vice-Presidency and Digital Policies and Territory, establishes a series of measures and unifies the protocols for action to combat sexual aggression that public transport operators in Catalonia must implement before 2025. The plan of measures includes actions such as the increase in the number of video surveillance cameras, the creation of aid and rescue devices inside the convoys and at stops, the creation of sexual violence attention areas in the main stations, the training of professionals in dealing with sexual violence, the implementation of information and awareness campaigns and the collection of new data through periodic surveys.

The plan has been drawn up with the collaboration of the Department of the Vice-Presidency and Digital Policies and Territory, the Catalan Women's Institute, the Metropolitan Transport Authority, user groups, organisations and operating companies. The previous tasks for the elaboration of the plan of measures include the Survey of Sexual Harassment in Public Transport (EASTP) and a Benchmarking of measures and concrete cases at national and international level for the prevention of sexual harassment in public transport."

Co-responsible mobility plans are an easy way to prioritize the mobility actions to be undertaken by each workplace during the recovery stage linked to the covid-19 crisis. These actions are determined by a self-diagnosis tool and should facilitate the management of corporate mobility or other polarities, while at the same time de-stressing the mobility system.

Each company or organization can confirm this co-responsibility, choosing which actions it undertakes to implement in the short term.

The Catalan Port Plan will represent a new step forward to improve the management of the Catalan coastline, promoting efficient, sustainable and rational port use. The Plan is committed to:

Prioritize the expansion of existing ports, instead of promoting the construction of new ones, optimizing the available space when creating new moorings and promoting facilities with less environmental impact. In this sense, it is expected to increase the supply of moorings for nautical sports by about 6,000 places. Boost the economy by attracting new markets and boosting the commercial, tourism and fishing sectors. Seek a territorial rebalancing in the location of the new moorings and integrate the port into the city, with the creation of dry marinas and other connecting spaces.

Improve the operations of the ports, with more vigilance in the accesses to guarantee the protection of the vessels and reinforcing the Catalan Port Front to coordinate the commercial ports. Introduce measures to promote sustainability, energy efficiency and the collection and treatment of wastewater, as well as the control of sediment contamination.

The Infrastructure Master Plan (PDI) includes all the actions in public transport infrastructures for a decade planned for the Barcelona Metropolitan Region, regardless of the Administration and the operator that operates them.

The characteristics of the PDI are:

Comprehensive: includes all actions in infrastructure in public road transport in the area of ​​influence of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona, ​​regardless of the Administration responsible and the operator that operates them.
Reviewable: an annual report is carried out on the degree of compliance with the PDI, in addition to a five-year review (the PDI is a plan that lasts ten years).
Participatory: administrations, operators and users receive information and participate, through their representatives.
Main actions:

Network Expansion Program.
Exchangers Program.
Modernization and Improvement Program.
Actions in the state railway network.
Road public transport infrastructure

The Ebro Lands Mobility Table, made up of the Department of Territory and Sustainability and local administrations, has begun work to draft the mobility master plan for the Ebro Lands that must be validated and agreed upon within the framework of said Mobility Table.

In order to have as faithful an image as possible of the mobility conditions in the Ebro Lands, the Department of Territory and Sustainability has carried out a mobility survey among the citizens of the Ebro Lands in order to make an accurate diagnosis of mobility habits in this territory and to be able to define actions within the framework of the Mobility Master Plan.

The efficient management of public transport - private vehicle modal interchange parking can be an excellent opportunity to reduce congestion and effectively improve the growing mobility in and out of people in the urban environment of Barcelona and its adjacent municipalities, and thus reduce congestion and harmful environmental effects. If current data confirm that the maximum number of intercity trips by private vehicle has continued to increase in recent years and the average distance traveled for each trip are increasing, offer the possibility of parking the private vehicle in an efficient network of car parks Modal exchange public transport

Consequently, mobility in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona and in Catalonia as a whole tends to be increasingly complex, with a longer travel distance and an increase in intermodality. This circumstance, together with the progressive congestion of the road network, translates into a greater use of the private vehicle-rail mode modal chains, and therefore, of the public transport-private vehicle modal interchange car parks.

In this sense, the general objective of the Urban Master Plan is to create the appropriate urban and territorial framework that allows exploiting the potential of the public transport interchanges - private vehicle defined in the Master Plan for public transport infrastructures of the metropolitan region of Barcelona 2011 -2020 (PDI) located in suburban railway stations, RENFE-ADIF and Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) and in some bus stops, to respond to the growing demand for this type of car park.

According to the approval Law 1/1995, "the general territorial Plan must be the instrument that defines the objectives of territorial balance of general interest for Catalonia and, at the same time, it must be the guiding framework for the actions undertaken by the powers to create the appropriate conditions to attract the appropriate activity to the ideal territorial spaces and to ensure that the citizens of Catalonia have similar levels of quality of life regardless of the territorial area where they live. The Plan must also be the instrument that defines the objectives to achieve the sustainable development of Catalonia, the territorial balance and the preservation of the environment ".

The General Territorial Plan of Catalonia articulates the proposals in three lines of action:

the definition of strategies
the definition of the territorial model
guidelines for formulating plans.

In the line of strategies, the section on quality of life is the most relevant as it details the actions to be taken on issues such as equipment or the environment in order to promote the quality of life in the territory. In the definition of the territorial model, the objective image of the population in 2026 and the proposal systems are presented as tools to achieve objectives of impulse, rebalancing or enhanced development, while in the section of guidelines for the formulation of plans the determinations are related that the Territorial Plan assigns to the other planning figures and that they will be the ones that should specify the PTGC's proposals since they do not have a direct physical application on the territory.

The PTGC must establish the necessary guidelines for the coherence of the partial territorial plans and the sectoral territorial plans that they must develop.

Map of the municipalities that have made or are making an accessibility plan

The Company Travel Plan (PDE) is a set of actions that aim to optimize the mobility of workers and visitors, favoring the use of alternative modes of transport to the private vehicle, rationalizing the use of the car and managing the mobility of goods.

The PDE concerns journeys related to professional activity, that is, both the journeys between the home and the workplace and the professional journeys of workers, collaborators and clients.

The main advantages related to the realization and implementation of a POE are:

To comply with current regulations
To be more economically efficient.
To manage the mobility of workers in the event of environmental episodes of atmospheric pollution.
To guarantee better conditions for employees and customers to access the company.
To reduce accidents.
To reduce the emission of polluting gases
To obtain the distinctive of efficient fleets of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
To help build a more responsible society
Once prepared, the POEs will have to be reviewed every 6 years, and a follow-up report on the implementation of the plan must be prepared at least every 3 years.

The synthesis of the partial territorial plans shown here facilitates the perception of the spatial planning of Catalonia that results from the set of approved plans. The 10 plans that make up this synthesis have been obtained by recasting the determinations of the partial territorial plans corresponding to each of the variables that, together, define the organization of the territorial space.
The synthesis expresses the general coherence of the partial territorial plans approved, and provides a vision of the planning of the territory of Catalonia that emerges from the set of these plans.
The synthesis plans have no normative value. This is exclusive to the documents that make up each partial territorial plan, which must be consulted in case of doubt.
