Discussions on co-operation possibilities, problems and opportunities, relations to national road authorities, possible supporting activities from VIKING



Public Transport Road Authorities´ sector responsibilities Co-operation possibilities Multimodal transport Travel Information and Time Schedules Seminar / Workshop Vision



Seminar

State of the art Institutional Technical

Views of the future Basis for formulating an action program

for the VIKING partners



Conclusions

The seminar was successful with regard to participation and representation from the VIKING area

Technical issues do not represent any problems today

Organisational and commercial issues are urgent problem areas

Co-operation forms and distribution of responsibilities are required



Conclusions

Multimodal information will in the future also have to include car transport

Attention of the national road administrations is appreciated

Possibilities for support by national road administrations are nationally different

Sector responsibilities could warrant some ”push”-actions rather than ”pull”



Proposal

Include Public Transport and Travel Information in the MIP program /common

Keep the work group at least 2001-2002 Use the work group as basis for

formulating action programs for the VIKING partners, monitoring state-of-the-art for Travel Planners and promoting multimodal PT traffic and travel information



Status Sept. -01

MIP decision delayed by EU, resources for common work not yet formally confirmed

Steadily growing interest in co-operation between road authorities and PT

TEN-T priorities seem to limit project alternatives on PT issues

Road Authorities /VIKING partners/ strategies need to be clarified
