2. Accessibility and logistics to the competitiveness of the Tuscan territory Summary European transport guidelines Accessibility for sustainable development in UE: TEN / Trans-European Network Economic and territorial planning in Tuscany Region Logistic platform of the Tuscany Development of the railways Completion of the Tyrrhenian corridor Towards the growth of the maritime sector A balance between growth in air transport and the environment

3. European transport guidelines Revitalising the railways Improving quality in the road transport sector Promoting transport by sea and inland waterway Striking a balance between growth in air transport and the environment Turning intermodality into reality Building the Trans-European transport Network Improving road safety Adopting a policy an effective charging for transport European transport guidelines (White Paper European transport policy for 2010: time to decide) The balance between modes of transport is the heart of the sustainable development strategy

4. Accessibility for sustainable development in UE: TEN / Trans-European Network Railways axis Berlin – Verona/ Milan-Florence-Naples- Palermo Railways axis Lisbon-Kiev Motorways of the sea Western Europe South-East and South- West Europe Railways axis Genoa-Rotterdam The construction of the trans-European transport network is the principal component in economic competitiveness and a balanced and sustainable development of the European Union

5. Economic and territorial planning instruments: PRSPIT Regional government program (PRS) is the economic planning instrument Territorial plan (PIT) specify the territorial strategy of PRS Integrated valuation (from Directive 2001/42/EC) is a technical support to the politic resolution Economic and territorial planning in Tuscany Region Territorial and economic strategy is the heart of the effectiveness in the sustainable development

6. This development requires the interconnection and interoperability of national networks as well as the access to TEN/T The proposal of the Tuscany Region in the national program 2007-2013: Trans-national logistic platform and National platform Tyrrhenian-Adriatic Logistic platform of the Tuscany

7. Development of the railways The high speed/high capacity in Florence and the regional connection The high speed/high capacity in Florence A new underground station, designed by Foster group, in the Belfiore-Macelli area Train will pass through a 9-kilometres tunnel, entering in the area of Campo di Marte and exiting at Castello Regional investment in rail network (from ERDF, Regional Development Fund) Connection Pisa- interport of Guasticce and port of Leghorn Doubling Pistoia-Montecatini railway

8. Completion of Tyrrhenian corridor The whole Mediterranean coast, from Palermo to Gibraltar, is linked by a system of motorways that has no interruptions, if not from Rosignano (about 20 miles to the south of Leghorn) to Civitavecchia (about 40 miles to the north of Rome). The so called Tyrrhenian corridor between Grosseto and Civitavecchia is a link between motorways of sea (ports of Leghorn, Piombino and Carrara), transversal corridor (highway and railway) and north-south corridor (Corridor 1) and it crosses an area of outstanding natural beauty

9. Towards the growth of the maritime sector Main industrial ports of the Tuscany are Leghorn, Carrara and Piombino Guidelines: Developing motorways of the sea Developing Logistic platform Quality and development of tourist ports Conditions: Modernisation of services Technical internal conditions Infrastructures: network to railways, highways and multimodal corridor International market

10. A balance between growth in air transport and the environment International connection Main airports in Tuscany are Pisa (where low-cost increased traffic passengers), and Florence (a city, business airport). Other airports are in Siena, Grosseto and Island of Elba The expansion of airport capacity is linked to the reducing noise and pollution caused by aircraft
