Implementation of MONITRAF (Monitoring of road traffic related effects in the Alpine Space and common measures)
The strong increase of total transalpine traffic and its further growth is a heavy strain for Alpine regions. Effective measures are necessary for enabling a sustainable development.
iMONITRAF!s objectives are to develop common strategies for transalpine traffic and to put them into action. A long-lasting political network shall be established, which serves as common voice of the Alpine regions and which is recognised on regional, national and EU level. It pushes innovative measures for more sustainable regional development.
iMONITRAF! will develop a broad political network to find common strategies. Evaluation instruments are developed, regional indicators are interpreted to assess effects of Alpine traffic. Innovative measures for modal shift improvements are assessed.
Three Transport Forums discuss common strategies and develop political statements. To support implementation, a decision-making aid is edited and a web-GIS system to visualise past trends and effects of measures is built.
