MIMOSA: Feasibility study on the accessibility optimization of passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) in the ports of Ancona and Pesaro The MIMOSA project (MarItime and Multimodal Sustainable pAssenger transport solutions and services) aims to improve the quality, safety, and environmental sustainability of marine and coastal transport services and nodes by promoting multimodality in the Programme area. Within this project, TRT Trasporti e Territorio  has been appointed by the Central Adriatic Ports Authority to conduct an analysis of accessibility optimization for people with reduced mobility (PRMs) in the ports of Ancona and Pesaro. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of accessible infrastructure and services and to identify possible improvements to the available services for passengers with physical, sensory (hearing and visual impairments), and mental-learning disabilities in the ports of Ancona and Pesaro, in accordance with the legislative framework.. In order to carry out the study, several activities have been undertaken, including fieldwork and mapping activities which allowed to map and verify the current status of accessible mobility infrastructures and services for passengers with disabilities in the ports of Ancona and Pesaro. Furthermore, a participatory process was conducted based on individual interviews and final plenary meetings with local stakeholders, such as institutional bodies, maritime and local public transport operators, and associations of PRMs. The preliminary results that emerged from the fieldwork and the participatory process activities allowed to perform a SWOT analysis, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Then, the study has collected a series of national and international best practices to further identify possible improvements to the infrastructures and services currently offered to PRMs in the ports. Finally, a web accessibility analysis was conducted and a dedicated webpage on accessible transport infrastructures and services currently available in the ports of Ancona and Pesaro was developed. The first results emerging from the study are: the provision of a dedicated transport service for PRMs connecting the port of Ancona to the station and the airport; and the integration of the study in the Plan for the Removal of Architectural Barriers (PEBA) of the Municipality of Pesaro.

General Urban Traffic Plan of Monteroni di Lecce The VI Municipal Police Sector of the City of Monteroni di Lecce has assigned TRT Trasporti e Territorio S.r.l. the task of drafting the General Urban Traffic Plan, a task formalised through executive determination no. 1083/RG of 31/12/2021. The development of the traffic plan of Monteroni will follow the indications contained in the Italian ministerial directives of 1995 and the most recent updates of “Nuovo Codice della Strada” (the Italian traffic code), which provide for the implementation of useful tools to improve the safety of alternative modes of transport and of weaker users. This is a short-term implementation tool aimed at achieving improvements in traffic conditions and road safety, with the reduction of noise and air pollution and the containment of energy consumption while respecting environmental values. The traffic plan is divided into two parts. The first includes the cognitive framework with the aim of describing the current state of the city’s traffic system. Our analysis includes: regulatory sources; the framework of supra-local and local planning and programming; the description of the territorial structure and localisation of mobility attractor poles; the description of transport networks supply and services, including the road network, parking, public transport and the bicycle network; traffic demand; environmental and social impacts related to the mobility system. On the basis of the indications coming from the cognitive framework, the second phase will lead to the identification of objectives and criteria for the Plan’s interventions. The various aspects of the Plan will be developed, with special focus on topics such as road classification (including E bis and F bis roads; cycle routes), school zones and the perimeter of the Zone of Special Urban Importance, as well as the main critical junctions.  

Drafting of the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU) for the city of Parma The Municipality of Parma entrusted TRT with the service of drafting the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU) with the executive determination n. DD-2020-2813 of 23/12/2020. TRT presented the proposed Plan that is awaiting adoption and approval by the Municipality of Parma. Parma PGTU di Parma is structured as an implementation and short-term tool of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), a ten-year strategic instrument that the city of Parma adopted in 2017. TRT was also responsible of the drafting of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the city of Parma and, in 2019, was commissioned to coordinate the implementation and monitoring of Parma’s SUMP Parma PGTU follows the ministerial directives of 1995 and the subsequent updates of the New Highway Code, which provide guidance on the plan’s action themes, with indications on both transport supply and demand. The TMP was developed in two phases. The first phase reconstructed an updated knowledge framework of the mobility system, delving into its key aspects: the regulatory framework; the planning and programming framework, including the status of implementation of the current PUMS; the provision of transport networks and services, including the existing road network and classification as well as access regulation and zones 30; the roadside, in-structure and interchange parking system; motorised urban public transport; cycling and sharing services; mobility management actions; transport demand; the social and environmental impacts of the mobility system. The second phase was developed from the reading of the cognitive framework and the selection of objectives identified by ministerial directives.  On this basis, the PGTU identified short-term measures inferred from those foreseen by the SUMP (2017) and updated taking into account the new opportunities introduced in the last two years as measures in favour of sustainable mobility. In particular, the topics covered by the Parma PGTU include: a new functional classification of the network, adapted to the recent changes to the road network and the traffic calming measures recently introduced; streets upgrading, securing roads, regulating access and moderating interventions (Zone 30, school roads, etc.); the establishment of “Area Verde” (Green Area), a Low Emission Zone covering the urbanised territory of Parma and the Blue Area (ZTL), as a revision of the system for regulating access to the urban and central area; the revision of the network of urban public transport services and closer modal integration with the bicycle network; parking policy (supply, regulation and pricing); the improvement of cycling through the introduction of cycle roads and routes, the realisation of measures for widespread cycling (Zone 30) and the implementation of new sharing and micro-mobility services.    

Prato SUMP monitoring report in accordance with the indicators of DM 396 of 28/08/2019 TRT was commissioned by the Municipality of Prato to draw up the SUMP monitoring report. The SUMP was approved by Municipal Council Resolution no. 51 of 2017. The activity consists in verifying the state of implementation of the measures foreseen in the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan as of February 2022, while highlighting the evolution of the descriptive variables of urban mobility (demand, supply and environmental and social impacts). This is an activity envisaged by Article 4 of the Ministry’s PUMS Guidelines (DM 397/2017). In particular, the assignment includes the following macro activities: comparison of indicators selected from the current SUMP (approved in June the 1st, 2017) and therefore prior to the issuance of the SUMP Guidelines (DM No. 397 of 4 August 2017 and the subsequent update introduced by DM 396 of 28 August 2019); adjustment of the PUMS indicators to DM 396 of 28 August 2019 and their estimation to the base year (2017) and 2021; verification of the SUMP status of implementation as for the individual measures envisaged in the two Reference and Plan Scenarios; adaptation of SUMP objectives and actions; recommendations and indications for future updating of the current SUMP as set out in the 2017 Ministerial Guidelines.   The first part of the activities consists of comparing all the indicators within the current SUMP with those indicated in DM 396 of 28/08/2019 in order to align the SUMP with the new ministerial provisions. Secondly, it verifies the status of implementation of the measures foreseen by the SUMP on the basis of the close interaction between TRT and the technical structures of the Municipal Administration, in order to account for the activity put in place during the 2017-2021 period in implementing the SUMP. The combination of these activities makes it possible, on the one hand, to estimate the trend of indicators representative of the PUMS objectives and, on the other, to understand the choices made by the Administration with respect to the implementation of the measures. Finally, the intersection of the two pieces of information makes it possible to give an account of the trend of the targets set by the SUMP and to modulate the Administration’s action accordingly through the implementation of the actions in favor of sustainable mobility envisaged by the SUMP and its subsequent update.     TRT was also responsible of the drafting of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, the Parking Master Plan and the Urban Traffic Plan of the city of Prato In 2022, TRT also drafted Prato’s e-Mobility Plan.  

Parking supply analysis in the Municipality of Piacenza in a medium-long term perspective The Municipality of Piacenza committed TRT Trasporti e Territorio for an analysis of the current parking supply and its evolution in the medium-long time frame in relation to the transformations that will affect the Municipality in the next 10 years future. The study was carried out according to the actions that the Municipality of Piacenza has developed recently, through an important revision of the mobility planning tools. Parking policies are of particular importance and may influence the entire mobility pattern of the city. In fact, last December 2020 the Municipal Council approved the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the Urban Traffic Plan (the Italian so called “PUT” Piano Urbano del Traffico) is currently waiting for its adoption. The city’s parking supply is always evolving, also according to the urban planning development and the accessibility of new areas that have recently become available. It is therefore of particular importance to monitor the evolution of the parking supply analysing in detail the changes that may undergo according to the measures, strategies and choices of the city’s urban plans. Analyses have shown that the areas related to the development of the New Hospital, the Ex-ACNA area, the Ex-Laboratorio Pontieri and the Ex-Mercato Ortofrutticolo would lead to an increase of about 2,100-2,300 parking spaces available in the historical centre for a total of an increase by 31%-34%.   [tw_button icon=”” link=”http://www.trt.it/en/Projects/” size=”small” rounded=”false” style=”flat” hover=”default” color=”#223468″ target=”_self”]Projects[/tw_button]

Drafting of the Biciplan, an strategic vision for cycling mobility in the city of Piacenza as part of wider mobility system introduced by the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) In 2018 the Municipality of Piacenza started the process of reviewing and updating its mobility planning tools. After having elaborated the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and the Urban Traffic Plan, the Municipality has entrusted TRT with the drafting of the new Biciplan, that represents a deepening of the strategic vision for cycling already introduced in the approved SUMP. The Biciplan assigns a primary role to cycling with the aim to satisfy the mobility needs not only related to leisure but also (and especially) to the everyday commuting. The compact urban form of Piacenza with its orographic and climatic conditions plays in favour of a greater diffusion of cycling. Indeed 22% of residents already regularly cycle to work. The drafting of the Biciplan, started in April 2021, consists of the following activities Analysis of the local cycling mobility system and planning context with particular attention to the existing cycling network and related services, as well as the analyses of the cycling demand and road accident rates; definition of the methodology and the objectives for the prioritization of measures, also taking into account the limited resources; elaboration of the Plan proposal through the identification of policies and measures able to define the infrastructure, the services and the communication activities to encourage the use of bicycles as well as other aspects related to urban logistics and last mile deliveries. the quantification of economic resources necessary to implement all actions included in the plan and the definition of the monitoring system including indicators and targets .     For more information The biciplan as a sector plan of the SUMP “Sustainable Mobility Planning in Piacenza, Italy”.
