Article - LOW-CARB.
Who thought that this article is going to be about the nutritional form or diet 'Low-carb' is totally wrong. Although that was what came to my mind at first too, when I read that I should prepare this article for the next session.
In fact, it is about 'Capacity building for integrated low-carbon mobility planning in functional urban areas'. 'LOW-CARB' in this sense is a project that should support the EU's White Paper goals to cut transport emissions by 60% by 2050 and to halve the use of conventionally fuelled cars in urban transport by 2030. The project shall tackle issues like integrated coordination, institutional cooperation and action plan implementation including joint financing and public investments in low-carbon systems in times of austerity.
CO2-emissions shall be reduced by 60.000 tons by 2020 already. 9 strategies and action plans, 22 capacity building sessions, 1 sump competence center and 6 pilot initiatives shall guide the way towards this goal. All together, the main challenges and some new trends (e.g. open data based mobility planning, integrated mobility platforms or implementation of low-carbon technologies including an electric public transport feeder service or solar-powered e-bike charging stations) will be reflected. Thus, public transportation and shared mobility shall be linked together. Some major project partners and enablers are Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, parts of Germany and parts of Italy.
A bit more detailed, the strategies and action plans are spread amongst the partner countries. The urban areas Brno, Koprivnica and Leipzig shall develop plans for integrated low-carb public transporation services. Szeged will focus on company travel plans, while Parma will develop an action plan for multipurpose charging infrastructure for public transport e-servicees. Having said that, low-carb shall play an integral role in the development of sustainable regional low-carbon mobility plans.
Additionally, there will be 3 strategies for a) low-carb mobility planning, b) introducing innovative public transportation services, c) open-data based mobility planning.
Further, there will be two training sessions per partner country held across Central Europe in the local language and some more transnational events on low-carb mobility planning and innovative mobility offers, policy workshop and exploitation workshop with financers and users.
Some examples for the already mentioned pilot actions are the integration of bike- and ride-sharing schemes fueled by solar-powered e-bike charging stations in Koprivnica.
Leipzig will employ multimodal info services such as a mobility as a service mobile app to encourage shared mobility. Szeged will introduce a CO2 trip calculator and Skawina will implement an electric public transport feeder service. The feedback and experiences gained in these pilot projects will then be shared in a final conference in 2020.
The following tools will be developed in order to properly excel at the low-carbon mobility planning: an integrated framework for monitoring and evaluating the impact of low-carb sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs), tested by the city of Brno and an innovative instrument that allows regions to self-check the compliance of their regional SUMP processes with EU guidelines.
