Building Park & Ride – Bartholomew

At the level of Brasov municipality and metropolitan area (overlaid by the Brasov Growth Pole in the 2007-2013 programming cycle) two key strategic documents were developed for the sustainable development of this area. Thus, the Brasov Growth Pole Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and the Integrated Urban Development Strategy Brasov developed in 2014-2016 analysed the existing situation and identified a number of shortcomings in terms of mobility and accessibility of Brasov and metropolitan area. Thus, the increase in the quality of life in the last decade has led to an increase in the number of cars and, implicitly, to increase the number of personal car journeys to the detriment of public transport or walking or cycling. In the conditions of the constant increase in the number of individual cars (both of residents and commuters or tourists), the current traffic pattern has reached its limits and no longer has the ability to adapt/extension. This is confirmed by the following points: — the accentuated process of suburbanisation materialised in the emergence of new residential areas in the vicinity of Brasov, as well as the tendency to relocate enterprises, implicitly labour force, from the urban center to the peripheries determine bi-directional flows between the municipality of Brasov and the metropolitan area exceeding 25,000 people daily – the rapid increase of traffic values and travel time – exceeding the capacity of parking places, especially in the central area of the municipality and of the concentration of points of interest – the formation of traffic jams, especially in the peak hours – the existing black points with high risk of road accidents – increasing the carbon emissions of the municipality, and the concentration of points of interest – the formation of traffic jams, especially in the peak hours – the existence of black points with high risk of road accidents – increasing the carbon emissions of the municipality/in the urban area (NOx) is the reduction of the road traffic demand, etc. The general objective of the project is to reduce GHG emissions in Brasov by encouraging modal change from private transport to public transport through a “park and ride” transfer parking. The Brasov Growth Pole Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan analysed the future evolution of urban mobility from the perspective of two scenarios, as follows: — the “to do the minimum” scenario only involves the realisation/completion of the projects committed by the SUMP elaboration, which will lead to a decrease in the quality of life through the lack of measures to counter the effects of increasing the number of private vehicles, the quality degradation of the public transport system, etc. – the scenario “do something” proposes the implementation of synergistically thought projects, in an integrated approach to mobility at the level of Brasov, which aims to discourage the use of passenger cars.
