a sustainable mobility measure: Improvement of information about public transport service

1. What will be the expected measure impacts and how you will measure them? (i.e. the impact indicators you will use in evaluation and how you will collect the data for them)

impact: increased number of passengers in PT buses, developed mobile App 

indicator: number of passengers (data from the operator before and after the implementation), modal split  (survey (online and off line), number of users of mobile App

2. Which drivers and barriers could be encountered during the measure planning, implementation and operational phases?

drivers: willingness of PT operator to cooperate, availability of IT SME or young IT experts

barriers: Availability of open data; quality, accuracy and format of data; availability of skilled personel to prepare the data; availability of the funds for implementation and maintenace of the measure, sustainability 

3.How would you involve your stakeholders in the evaluation process, and what input will you require from them?

survey (on line and off line) about travel behaviour, 

statistic from PT operator, statistic from mobile App

4.How would you determine if their involvement had had any (positive or negative) impact on your neighbourhood?

Hi, I am not sure about 4th question, can you please be more specific. Thanks

1. What will be the expected measure impacts and how you will measure them? (i.e. the impact indicators you will use in evaluation and how you will collect the data for them)

Improvement of accessibility to schools should result in more students walking to school. During co-identification, collect data on the number of pedestrian children and repeat the same action after co-implementation. Comparing two survey results yield measurable impact.

Improvement of public transport services and cycling infrastructure together with Improvement of accessibility to schools should result in reduced car use in the neighborhood. A measurable indicator is the modal distribution in the selected neighborhood, where the survey results collected during the co-identification process are compared with the survey results conducted after co-implementation.

Various traffic management measures should not only improve the air quality and traffic safety but also decrease noise emission. Key to measuring these effects is the intensity and speed of traffic flows in the selected neighborhood, whose comparisons, before and after implementation, can yield measurable impacts.

2. Which drivers and barriers could be encountered during the measure planning, implementation and operational phases?

The main drivers during the measure planning should be experts from different stakeholders (residents, employees of different public institutions/levels of authority etc.) contributing with their knowledge and experience;

The main barrier during the measure planning is lack of reliable relevant data for the neighborhood (e.g. traffic counts, public transport data, modal split, air quality and noise indicators etc.);

Responsibilities distributed between different authorities can be barrier when it comes to planning and implementation of „hard measures“ as all construction works in Sarajevo require approvals and permits issued by the competent municipality, the Srajevo City's authority role is largely administrative and the Sarajevo Canton is the most responsible for planning;

In the operational phase, the "cultural" barrier may be the ignoring of implemented measures by passenger car owners.

3. How would you involve your stakeholders in the evaluation process, and what input will you require from them?

Schools will help to collect information about children walking to and from school;

Residents and service providers will help to get travel information / input for modal split calculation and in addition residents provide valuable inputs for traffic management measures;

4. How would you determine if their involvement had had any (positive or negative) impact on your neighbourhood?

Process evaluation, among others, provide answers to question „How was the process perceived by key stakeholders?“. „Measure evaluation result summary“ included in „The Assessment and Evaluation Report“ determine involvement and impact of different stakeholders on different measures.

We want realize:

Drafting of Sustainable Mobility Plan and improvement of transport management systems and improvement of infrastructure for people with disabilities

1. Reduced air pollution (NOx and CO2 in all over the country) and increased number of people with disabilities in public places(historic center and promenade).

2. Lack of funds in the implementation of the plan

3. Through their co-participation in the mapping of needs

4. From the analysis of their behaviors and implemented actions 

1.     What will be the expected measure impacts and how you will measure them? (i.e. the impact indicators you will use in evaluation and how you will collect the data for them)

impact: -increase number of children who to walk school,

            - increase the number of children that parents bring to the kindergarten walking,

            - public space is used by all gender

 increased indicator:- number of children who walk to school or kindergarten modal split  (survey (online and off line),

                           -:- number of public space used by all gender survey (online and off line), insight

2.     Which drivers and barriers could be encountered during the measure planning, implementation and operational phases?

  for pedestrian routes to the school barrier: there are no volunteers to guide the children, the parents do not accept the measure, for use of public space: the space is used in the late evening hours and the noise is disturbing the neighborhood, vandals are destroying urban furniture , residents do not want to participate in the co-creation process and implementation in  neighborhood

3.     How would you involve your stakeholders in the evaluation process, and what input will you require from them?

Schools and kindergarten  will help to collect information about children walking to and from school;

Survey, contact eye-to eye

4.     How would you determine if their involvement had had any (positive or negative) impact on your neighbourhood?

comparison with previous pedestrian trips, survey responses,

1.      What will be the expected measure impacts and how you will measure them? (i.e. the impact indicators you will use in evaluation and how you will collect the data for them)

·        The better situation of the road and the asphalt should be easily recognized.

·        The absence of illegal parking should result in more free space in the roads.  An indicator is the modal distribution in the neighborhood, where the survey results collected before and after the procedure of co-identification and co-implementation will be examined and compared. During the co-identification process the collected data on the number of pedestrians should be compared with the data after co-implementation.

·        Public space for parking should be recognized from the number of pedestrians because the illegal parking always block side walkers.

·        The respect for mobility laws and for the infrastructure for handicapped persons will be recognized with survey (online and offline) asking neighbors and during 3 times of the day collecting data from observing the traffic at some hot spots. Three times includes morning, midday and evening period when the traffic is increased (7:00-10:00, 13:00-16:00 and 19:00-21:00).

2.      Which drivers and barriers could be encountered during the measure planning, implementation and operational phases?

·        Drivers could be some experts stakeholders like people from high levels of authority or experts from universities and institutions, residents with knowledge and experience etc.

·        During operational phase some barriers like the old habits and the lack of information of other drivers from other neighborhoods could appear. In the same way, lack of data or difficulty to collect them could make our effort harder.

3.      How would you involve your stakeholders in the evaluation process, and what input will you require from them?

·        People with municipality authorities should check the progress of the process and check the results.

·         Residents could identify strong results.

·        Local police department could help check the illegal parking and the respect for mobility laws.

4.      How would you determine if their involvement had had any (positive or negative) impact on your neighborhood?

·        During evaluation process with online and offline surveys, should be questions about stakeholders, their involvement and their efficiency on different measures.

A sustainable mobility measure is the expansion of bike lanes and improvements on existing infrastructure.

1.       Increase attractiveness of biking, reduction to car usage. Traffic and questionnaire surveys before and after the implementation of the measure.

2.       The design of the extended network may result to the reduction of parking space, provoking reaction from car users. During the operational phase, there may be unreasonable traffic behavior both from motorized and bike users, on the one hand using bike lanes to move or park and on the other hand, not using the bike lanes choosing to move on the road.

3.       City administration can organize a campaign promoting biking. Community policy could help during the operational phase.

4.       Increase of bike usage can be a measure if the campaign has worked. Online and offline surveys about mobility behavior can introduce the impact of community police.

Impact indicator: the number of people walking on that street

2. Which drivers and barriers could be encountered during the measure planning, implementation and operational phases?

Drivers:

-       the community interest in re-using a street that is unattractive now and with high level of delinquency

Barriers:

-       lack of funds;

-       vandalism

3. How would you involve your stakeholders in the evaluation process, and what input will you require from them?

-       Conducting counting of the people walking on the street

-       Conducting qualitative surveys on those that use that street
