1. Efficient corridor management INTRODUCTION TO THE SESSION

2. Efficient corridor management
New transport policy instrument
Roles, responsibilities and consequences fairly unknown to many players
SO…..
How to achieve an effective stakeholder interaction in the implementation of the core network corridors?
How to better involve lighter-weight players (e.g. smaller municipalities and regions, SMEs, NGOs etc.) in developing and putting the corridor work plans into action?
How to ensure that the core network corridors are attractive to the market players?

3. Corridor cooperation networks in the BSR (formal and project-based)
Mid-Nordic Green Transport Corridor
Bothnian Green Logistic Corridor
NLC/Midway Alignment
Scandinavian Arena
East-West Transport Corridor Association
European Corridor
Baltic Link Association
STRING
SCANDRIA
Rail Baltica Growth Corridor
CETC-ROUTE65
Association of Polish Baltic-Adriatic Corridor Regions

4. Multi-level governance experience
Reasoning behind:
Lobby for delayed investment
No influence on decision-making at higher tiers, although forced to ’live with results’
Catch up with global/European policies
Optimised development
Earlier experience of bottom-up cooperation across the borders
Source:
Driving forces:
Municipalities/regions ‘supervising’ progress (incompatibilities across borders, lagging behind cross-border sections etc.)
Interreg a good tool to provide evidence-based arguments for the investment
Formal structure found important to:
Avoid redundancy and prevent involvement from fading away
Share priorities and agree on action (efficient coordination mechanism)
Reaching for EGTC – mobilise actors, increase commitment, improve dialogue with the national level?

5. Greening blueprints available
Business models and policy measures
(Interfacing regional growth and sustainable mobility)
Corridor action plans
Green corridor manual & information broker system
ICT tools (public travel planner, air cargo information system)
Sustainable energy programme
Logistics learning programme
Common service model for logistics centres
New multimodal chains/blocktrains, alternative vehicle fuels for long distance transport, duo-trailer based dry port etc.
AND MANY MORE…
