Better public transport services for regional and cross-border travels in the South Baltic area

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Poland - Denmark - Germany - Lithuania - Sweden (South Baltic)

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

Interconnect, an EUSBSR flagship candidate, addresses the challenge of curbing the car-reliant mobility trend in the SB area through user-adjusted and more sustainable public transport services for regional and cross-border travels. The current public transport offer hardly meets customer expectations for easiness and attractivity of regional and cross-border journeys, with scarce range of integrated ticket options for multimodal rides, difficult access to one-spot passenger information and no clear benefits for users when choosing the public transport over car. To enhance car-independent mobility in the SB area the partnership consisting of 9 formal and 10 associated partners from 6 countries will carry out joint capacity building, pilot demonstration and advocacy actions. These will tackle the three dimensions of public transport in serving the regional and cross-border travels – the demand, the supply and the governance. Through three thematic WPs on: (1) evidence, knowledge and experience; (2) steering tools and business models; and (3) future governance and institutionalization, the project will deliver innovative multi-stakeholder planning approaches for sustainable public transport of the future and invest in new and more efficient services for no-car travelers both in and between the partner areas. As the user-adjusted and more sustainable public transport services for regional and cross-border travels have a large but untapped potential to stimulate socioeconomic growth in the SB area, the project will initiate cross-sectoral dialogue and work out an optimum multi-level governance framework for cooperation on public transport across the borders.

Expected Results (EN):

The project’s joint capacity-building, pilot demonstration and advocacy actions serve the purpose of high quality and sustainable PT services, which in turn bring durable effects for the regional and cross-border mobility in the whole SB area. Better knowledge of the customer market and the assets/deficiencies in the current performance of PT systems, adjusted/new planning and steering tools as well as concrete solutions designed and tested in the project will enhance the capacity of PT organisations in responding to the specific sustainable mobility needs in and between the partner areas. In the final shape (as main outputs) they will be replicable for use by any stakeholder in the other parts of the SB area and beyond. The project results, often of pilot character (e.g. A4.3-5) will be retained by the respective partner organisations and incorporated in a wider range of complementary strategic and operational activities.

Expected Outputs (EN):

1) Catalogue for sustainable public transport of the future in the South Baltic area. 2) Set of new/enhanced methods, services and products for no-car passengers designed and tested in regional and cross-border travels both in and between the SB partner areas. 3) Set of new/enhanced methods, services and products for no-car passengers designed and tested in regional and cross-border travels both in and between the SB partner areas. 4) Guidelines on multi-level governance for public transport in the South Baltic area.
