1. Urban Mobility Plan in Ile de France EMTA General meeting 27th april 2009

2. Urban mobility plans : a legal requirement • 1996 : law on ‘Air quality and rational use of energy’ • All urban areas of more than 100,000 inhabitants must elaborate an urban mobility plan (Plan de déplacement urbain - PDU) • Main objectives of these plans: • Reducing motorized traffic • Developing public transport and all other modes of transport which are environmentally friendly • Adapting main roads network in order to enhance its efficiency and its use by all modes of transport • Organizing public parking provision • Organizing freight transport and goods delivery in order to reduce impact on road traffic and environment • Promoting staff’s mobility management for companies and public administrations • Public transport authorities are in charge of the elaboration of the plan • The Plans must be evaluated within 5 years • Revision if necessary

3. The Urban Mobility Plan in Ile-de-France • The law makes an exception for the Franch Region ‘Ile de France’: the plan applies to the whole region • The first plan was designed by the State • together with the regional council, STIF, the city of Paris • in association with other local authorities, transport operators, interest groups • Adopted at the end of 2000 after a public consultation • Since the French ‘Décentralisation’ law (2004) : STIF is responsible for the evaluation and the revision of the Plan on behalf of the regional council • The plan is eventually approved by the regional council and requires the agreement of the national state

4. The governance of the 2000 Mobility Plan : its main weaknesses • After 6 years of implementation • Only a few of the planned actions have been achieved • Some projects have been stopped because of the disruption in state financing • Consultative process takes much more time than expected • The Plan was elaborated at the regional level but many of its provisions are to be implemented at the local level • Difficulty of appropriation by French territorial communities • Problem of coordination between different levels of French territorial communities
