  2. CATS - Type of meeting - Place European Transport Policy The overall objective of European transport policy is to establish a balance between - on the one hand, economic development, - and on the other hand, requirements for quality and safety of society, in order to develop a sustainable modern transport system. The challenge for urban transport systems will be to cover the demand for accessibility of the population (including people with reduced mobility) and goods, while minimizing environmental impact and protecting quality of life. Environmental issues have spurred the transition to more efficient technology, including cleaner cars/fuels and non-technical measures to reduce emissions.

  3. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Romanian Transport Status Romania is crossed by three pan-European transport corridors: Corridor IV: Berlin-Nuremberg-Prague-Budapest-Bucharest-Constanta-Istanbul-Thessaloniki Corridor IX: Helsinki-St. Petersburg-Pskov-Moscow-Kiev-Chisinau-Bucharest- Liubashevska-Dimitrovgrad-Alexandroupolis; Corridor VII: Danube, including the link on the Danube-Black Sea. Corridors IV and IX are multimodal: Road Rail River and Sea.

  4. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Objectives Upgrading of road, railway, air and naval transport according to the principle of sustainable development set out in the Gothenburg Strategy (2001) Setting up a clean transportation system, according to the Kyoto Agreement

  5. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Ploiesti Transport Status Current status In the context of sustainable development, Ploiesti is facing a huge challenge: to reconcile economic development and accessibility of cities, while improving the quality of life and environmental protection; Economic development has led to traffic congestion in Ploiesti due to the fact that street network is sized to the needs of the '70s; Ploiesti’s public transport system consists of an extensive network of buses, trolleybuses and trams.

  6. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Ploiesti Transport Status Solutions: Rethinking urban mobility by: - optimizing the use of all the various modes of transport, and - establishing a "co-modality" between different modes of transportation (bus, trolley, tram, train) and different individual transport (car, bicycle, motorcycle, walk ); Systematization and better traffic flow solutions: - opportunities to supplement the parking and stopping of vehicles in congested areas - rehabilitation programs and road infrastructure modernization - modernization and clean transport programs

  7. CATS - Type of meeting - Place S.W.O.T. Analysis Strengths: Tram network in place Bus network provides good coverage GPS System monitors public transport Weaknesses: Vehicle fleet is stretched by current operation Tram lines require renewal Bus/Trolleybus fleet requires renewal Delays occur at junctions where buses/trolleybuses are not given priority Much of the network is not accessible to the mobility impaired Commercial bus/coach services from outside Ploiesti

  8. CATS - Type of meeting - Place SWOT Analysis Opportunities: Providing a new tram line link between West Railway Station and South Railway Station; this would link the 101 and 102 services and would fill in a gap Improving priority for public transport at specified congested junctions Upgrading waiting shelters and extending the use of Real Time Information Threats: Significant congestion problems have led to a proposal to close a section of the Tramline 101 (between the Commercial Bank and Anton Square)

  9. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Transport Projects CIVITAS SUCCESS (Smaller Urban Communities in Civitas for Environmentally Sustainable Solutions) A partnership between La Rochelle, Preston and Ploiesti as a response to CIVITAS II innitiative The general objectives of SUCCESS were to: Demonstrate that alternative fuels can be an efficient choice for urban transport matters; Demonstrate that, with a package of mobility and traffic management measures, significant results can be provided regarding sustainable transport and energy policy; Support related research and assessment activities including new, all-inclusive training initiatives and communication initiatives to disseminate the results and encourage transferability in the concerned areas.

  10. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Transport Projects CIVITAS SUCCESS in Ploiesti Actions: the conversion of buses to LPG the monitoring of the bus fleet through GPS and the real-time information for public transport users the improvement of bus shelters the implementation of cycle lanes, and the setting-up of a central Clear Zone.

  11. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Transport Projects SPICYCLES (Sustainable Planning & Innovation for Bicycles) The project SPICYCLES aimed to promote cycling policies in 6 European cities. In this frame, the project aimed to produce positive impacts on the references cities in terms of: - environmental performance by reducing emissions; - increased road safety and improved traffic management; - support to equity and accessibility; - benefits for health and the overall quality of life. In Ploiesti, the actions included implementation of communication and awareness raising campaigns and special actions to build local partnerships.

  12. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects Projects to be included in the “Intregrated Development Plan” of Ploiesti Growth Pole: 1. Increased mobility through the rehabilitation of public transport tram route 102, with works covering running path, tram stops adapted for people with disabilities, rolling stock, signaling and automation features Impact: - Better traffic flow through optimization tramway routes at intersections, loops back - Increased quality of life for people through - access to a modern and efficient public transport (silent - no noise and vibration) - Upgrated clean public transport

  13. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects 2. Increased traffic mobility through a multimodal terminal including parking spaces for car and bike modes (the County Hospital area) Impact: - Optimization of urban and suburban transport - Increasing quality of life by setting new green areas and by reducing emissions of transport modes transiting the city 3. Expanding public transport Ploiesti on sections: Ploiesti - Blejoi village Paulesti village (recreation area, Paulesti forest), Ploiesti - Bucov (leisure park "Constantin Stere), Ploiesti – Bărcăneşti village Impact: - Increased quality of life through the development of clean public transport

  14. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects 4. Accessibility and better traffic flow to the West area and Brazi industrial platform. Impact: Improving accessibility to: - industrial growth pole areas (parks / industrial sites - Brazi, Ploiesti Vest) - national transport networks and telecommunications - Ploiesti west park - Mitica Apostol neighborhood Safe car and pedestrian traffic

  15. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects 5. Increased mobility through the rehabilitation of public transport tram route 101, with works covering running path, tram stops adapted for people with disabilities, rolling stock, signaling and automation features Impact: Better traffic flow through optimization tramway routes at intersections, loops back Increased quality of life for people through - access to a modern and efficient public transport (silent - no noise and vibration) Upgrated clean public transport

  16. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects 6. Increased accessibility in the eastern area of Ploiesti to Pan-European Corridor IX TEN - through a passage over railway road in the SE side of Ploiesti Impact: Providing a direct link between the southeast and the central and north area of the city, avoiding transiting center Traffic decongestion

  17. CATS - Type of meeting - Place Future Transport Projects 7. Ensure traffic mobility by extending the link road and public transportation between South Station and West Railway Station (Liberty Street) Impact: Downtown traffic decongestion Increased life quality through reducing the pollution caused by transiting transport modes and the development of the clean public transport
