5. Methodology UITP developed urban transport scenarios for 2025 to compare “Business as Usual” and “PTx2” Projections computed through Mobility Model developed by the International Energy Agency. Based on demographic, economic and technology factors.

6. Urban transport today (2005) World’s urban population is 3.2 billion. About 7.5 billion trips made in urban areas every day. Public transport represents about 16% of those trips.

7. Urban population in 2025 Urban population will increase from 3.2 to 4.5 billion. Contrasted situations: Fast urban population growth in Asia, Africa and the Middle-East. Almost no urban population increase in Europe and Eurasia.

8. Business as usual vs. PTx2 More urban population means more mobility in urban areas: +50% by 2025. Business as usual: growth of urban mobility followed by growth of its negative consequences. PTx2: growth of urban mobility decoupled from growth of its negative consequences.

9. Studied impacts (1) Urban transport energy consumption (2) Urban transport GHG emissions (3) Urban traffic fatalities (4) Public health

10. (1) Urban transport energy consumption Business as usual Increase by 30% Urban transport oil consumption grows faster than oil production Huge increase of energy bill PT x 2 Almost stable Release pressure on oil demand (with effect on reserves and prices)

11. (2) Urban Transport GHG emissions Business as usual Increase by 30% In total contradiction with efforts to limit global warming to 2C° Buses, trams, metros, pedestrians, cyclists PT x 2 Almost stable Support targets agreed in Cancun Urban mobility carbon footprint per capita reduced by 25%

12. Business as usual Increase by 30% Reaching 500,000 deaths per year in 2025: twice the number of victims of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 (3) Urban traffic fatalities PT x 2 Decrease by 15% Almost no growth of fatalities in developing countries and sharp decrease in developed countries

13. (4) Public health (4) Public health If PTx2: daily mobility will provide 30 min. of physical exercise. It means less risk of coronary heart disease and obesity (-50%), less hypertension risk (-30%). (source WHO)

14. Making PTx2 a reality Set of mutually reinforcing policies: Providing lifestyle services Developing a new business culture Securing adequate and stable funding Integrating public transport and other urban policies Smart mobility management

15. Cities with ambitious policies and targets Beijing – China Bogota – Colombia Dubai - UAE Geneva – Switzerland Lagos – Nigeria Paris - France London – UK Madrid – Spain Shanghai – China Belfort - France New Zealand Perth – Australia Singapore Sweden Tehran – Iran Melbourne - Australia Toronto – Canada Vienna – Austria Luxemburg Lille – France

16. Life style services Diversification of services: giving choice to citizens and targeting new segments. Provision of high quality mobility services. Examples: Sofia – extension of metro network, tram and trolley modernisation Belgrade – improving infrastructure and implementing new ticketing system

20. A new business culture Favourable business and regulatory framework to develop competences, innovation and entrepreneurship. Change corporate culture towards fully customer oriented services. Example: innovative marketing approach towards entreprises in Geneva.

21. Adequate and stable funding streams Developing revenue strategies and optimizing fare policies. Earmarking charges based on polluter pays and beneficiary pays principles to support public transport. Developing reciprocal understanding with asset managers and asset owners. Example: Asian cities lead the way

22. Visionary integrated urban policies Coordinating public transport and urban development Integrated mobility management Example: Odense – Development of soft modes, pedestrian areas, fewer cars, and competitive PT

23. Smart demand management Influence citizens’ mobility behavior towards the use of sustainable transport modes. Example: congestion charging in London, Stockholm and Milan
