Summary description of the project:
PA Transport of the EUSBSR calls for coordination of national transport policies and actions to ensure a harmonised transnational development of the transport system. The ensured thematic focus and established links between the above initiatives helped achieve certain stage of coordination and complementarity. However, fuller integration of the approaches, which would enable better development and alignment of transport policies at various governance tiers, faces a number of challenges.
The project objective is to demonstrate how multi-level governance models, tools and approaches can contribute to a better alignment of transport policies in the BSR at various administrative levels and better incorporation of the business perspective. This is expected to increase commitment of public and private stakeholders to achieving greener and more efficient transport in the Baltic Sea Region, in line with PA 11 of the EU Baltic Sea Strategy. The project will place particular focus on developing
and testing joint planning and implementation frameworks for transport policies at such reference scales, which have witnessed a long process of cooperation across the national borders with involvement of public/private stakeholders, and/or which have gathered a vast evidence for MLG actions. These are: MACRO (overall BSR area), MESO (cross-border integration areas), CORRIDOR (transnational multimodal transport corridors) and MICRO (intermodal terminals).
In specific real conditions at those reference scales the project will run a few demonstration showcases. Through the so called stakeholder management process the project will engage relevant public and private actors to jointly develop:
• sustainable implementation and management frameworks for macroregional and cross-border strategies, programmes and action plans (WP3) – and test them on the case how to streamline the results of the BTO and TransBaltic, and use them in the national and regional transport planning processes (MACRO)
and how to secure durability of joint strategic transport processes in the Öresund region and Helsinki-Tallinn area (MESO);
• MLG models for the planning and operation stages of intermodal terminals (WP4) – and test them on five differentiated cases in the BSR (MICRO);
• operational MLG model for better freight management in a transnational transport connecting EU with non-EU countries (WP5) – and test them on the case of the East West Transport Corridor (CORRIDOR);
• operational MLG model supporting the transformation of a multimodal transport corridor into a regional development axis (WP6) – and test them on the case of the Scandria Corridor (CORRIDOR).
The project has a strong triple-helix partnership from all BSR EU Member States and all vertical governance levels. It is supported by PA Transport Coordinators, national transport ministries and several other actors, which will be engaged as reference partners.
Achievements of the project so far:
Following the communication and dissemination strategy for the last period, agreed at the Steering Committee meeting, the project launched action to present the joint work results at the Baltic Sea Days in Turku. In this wide-audience event, the project - together with the Baltic Development Forum - arranged a TEN-T session with representatives of the Commission and national/regional/local governments to demonstrate the added value of the multi-level governance in planning and implementation of transport policies (how to embed the TEN-T policy in the BSR transport policy frameworks). The session was followed by a first leg of the project final event to unveil and discuss preliminary project findings (using the mentometer technology) with about 40 participants.
The established Task Force with WP leaders was assigned to compile and consolidate results of the stakeholder management processes for the thematic work at the pilot reference levels (MACRO, MESO, CORRIDOR, MICRO).
For that purpose, a uniform template was devised for so called summary papers to report outcomes to WP3, for the purpose of producing a comprehensive final report (Task 3.8).
In WP3 the project concluded the work at the MESO scale and delivered the final reports (3.5 - Experiences and future development infrastructure and governance in the Öresund region; 3.6 - Benchmarking study on cross-border development between Helsinki and Tallinn, and 3.7 - Stakeholder interaction processes to enable the InterCity Triangle development in Norway).
In WP4 the project finished the work in all WP4 pilot cases and highlighted the generalised recommendations for the multi-level governance in the intermodal terminal context (cf. the overall WP4 report).
In WP5 the project agreed the priority transport greening measures in the EWTC among the involved stakeholders and chosen the management patterns to improve the corridor governance.
The WP6 work saw the final stage of the series of thematic and regional workshops along the Oslo-Berlin corridor, with a multi-level governance model developed for transforming the transport corridor to a growth axis. WP6 gave also birth to a political agreement between Rostock and Guldborgsund for cross-border cooperation action stemming from the improved transport connections.
The thematic results were summed up in the project final report (Task 3.8), showing good practice solutions how to apply MLG in transport planning and management in the BSR. They were presented in detail at the second leg of the project final event (Brussels, November 2015, back to-back with SWIFTLY Green), with the presence of ca 50 public and market stakeholders. The policy-aimed suggestions were then inserted in the MTAP document (2014 edition).
