  1. 29th November 2005 REVENUE Revenue Use from Transport Pricing 5FP – DGTREN 2004-2005 Urban case studies – Warsaw Warsaw University of Technology W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  2. Revenue – urban case studies Work Package 5 studied four Case Studies of various scale and approach: • Oslo • Warsaw • Edinburgh • Cross-boundary acceptability W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  3. Congestion charging in national transport policy 2001: National Transport Policy for 2001-2015 – sustainable development tolling: motorways, cities – parking, bridges, congestion - entrance to city centers 2005: National Transport Policy for 2006-2025 „in addition to parking fees, tolls for using motorways and on heavy vehicles - charges for entrance to central areas of big cities, for crossing selected bridges, etc.” W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  4. Warsaw • General objective to validate the feasibility of approaches suggested in the REVENUE project vis-à-vis revenue use from MC pricing • Proposed regulation schemes: based around the allocation of increased revenue from congestion charging (toll charged at cordon line) for roads / public transport investment W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  5. Warsaw • 1,7 million inh, agglomeration 2,5 million • over 400 cars per one thousand inh. • Public transport share – 65% of motorized trips • Revenues from farebox covering 45% of operating public transport costs • Congestion charging listed as longterm measure in transport policy adopted in 1995 but no plans to implement it in visible future W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  6. Four options • No charging (except parking charging) • Charging - toll – 4.5 PLN (€1.12) - cordon around the center – 14 sq. Kms • Charging with revenues used to invest in new ring roads • Revenues used to upgrade tramway lines to LRT standard W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  7. Cordon W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  8. Gates W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  9. Findings Road traffic reductionon the cordon: • introduction of toll – reduction by 30%, • construction of ring road (outer zone) – impact insignificant No of PT passengers crossing gates to the CBD area - growth – 5,5 %, • additional tram line on North bridge – small impact W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  10. Findings – speed in peek hour W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  11. Findings Speed increase (for vehicles): • whole metropolitan area: • tool – 0,6 km/h, • toll plus bridge on the ring road – 0,8 km/h • city center: • tool +4,6 km/h, • tool plus bridge + 5 km/h W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  12. Financial and ecomic analysis W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  13. Survey - drivers W. Suchorzewski, WUT, 12.06.2007

  14. Survey - stakeholders

  15. Warsaw - main findings • Under present traffic and economic conditions the social benefits of cordon charging would be limited. • The financial viability and attitude of stakeholders towards the charging concept may stimulate decision makers to implement charging • The direction of EU / National transport policies are important influences which could help stimulate introducing of fiscal measures.
