Trends

• Growth of motorisation and increase of mobility,
  stabilisation of freight transport, rapid growth
  of road traffic, very significant increase in air
  transport (EU membership and LCCs) 2004/2003
  25
• Modal shift from rail transport to road transport
  
• Decreasing share of public transport in cities,
  but still over 50
• Sea and inland water transport stable

7
Main problems

• Congestion especially on national roads and in
  urban areas perceived versus real!!
• Growing negative impact on the environment and
  society growing awareness!
• Peoples health and lives are at risk, especially
  in road transport
• Poor condition of infrastructure, especially
  railways and road infrastructure not prepared for
  heavy trucks 115kN/axle
• Low rail efficiency and competitiveness

8
Main problems 2

• Solving problems affected by
• often changes of concepts and programs election
  cycle
• lack of relation between programs and financial
  sources BBB syndrome
• complicated legal procedures
• Opportunities created by the availability of EU
  funds not fully used

9
Demand forecasts

• Main dilemma - demand management - should we
  control the demand for transport?
• Decoupling of economic growth and transport
  demand listed as one of objectives
• Forecasts for 2005-2020
• Growth of travel by car 80-110
• Freight 30 - 67

Principles of transport policy 2

• Demand management (volume and modal split)
  through spatial policy, consumption model,
  motorization policy and fiscal means
• Balance between the development of transport
  infrastructure and maintenance, upgrading and
  management (ITS)
• Market regulation privatisation according to
  EU rules

24
Principles of transport policy 3 financing

• Gradual implementation of user pays principle
