Conclusions

• The seminar was successful with regard to
  participation and representation from the VIKING
  area
• Technical issues do not represent any problems
  today
• Organisational and commercial issues are urgent
  problem areas
• Co-operation forms and distribution of
  responsibilities are required

7
Conclusions

• Multimodal information will in the future also
  have to include car transport
• Attention of the national road administrations is
  appreciated
• Possibilities for support by national road
  administrations are nationally different
• Sector responsibilities could warrant some
  push-actions rather than pull

8
Proposal

• Include Public Transport and Travel Information
  in the MIP program /common
• Keep the work group at least 2001-2002
• Use the work group as basis for formulating
  action programs for the VIKING partners,
  monitoring state-of-the-art for Travel Planners
  and promoting multimodal PT traffic and travel
  information

Status Sept. -01

• MIP decision delayed by EU, resources for common
  work not yet formally confirmed
• Steadily growing interest in co-operation between
  road authorities and PT
• TEN-T priorities seem to limit project
  alternatives on PT issues
• Road Authorities /VIKING partners/ strategies
  need to be clarified
