Modernisation of Tudor Vladimirescu Street (bulevard)

The general objective of the project is to reduce GHG emissions by making investments to ensure an efficient public passenger transport service and to improve the conditions for the use of non-motorised modes of transport, in order to reduce the number of journeys with private transport (cars) and CO2 equivalent emissions from transport. Thus, through the proposed activities, Lupeni Municipality aims to develop urban mobility by changing the focus from a mobility based on the use of cars to a mobility based on walking, the use of bicycles as a means of travel, the use of high quality and efficient public transport, reducing the use of cars in parallel with the use of clean car categories. The general objective of the project is closely related to the specific objective of the Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020, priority axis 3: “Supporting the transition towards a low carbon economy” investment priority 4e“Promoting low carbon strategies for all types of territories, in particular for urban areas, including the promotion of sustainable multimodal urban mobility and mitigation-relevant adaptation measures”, namely “Reduction of carbon emissions in urban areas based on sustainable urban mobility plans” through the implementation of strategic measures, based on data from the Sustainable Urban Moblity Plan of Lupeni Municipality, which will lead to the promotion of sustainable multimodal urban mobility and the reduction of CO2 emissions, as a result of improving the efficiency of public passenger transport, its frequency and journey times, accessibility, transfer to it from private transport by car, as well as the transfer to non-motorised modes of transport, increasing the attractiveness of using public transport and non-motorised modes at the expense of transport by private cars. The general expected results mentioned in the chapter “Awaited results” correspond both to the current financing demand, but also stem from the complementary activities that are realised through the 2 integrated projects with it, submitted for funding through ROP 3.2, namely the introduction on the public transport routes on this mobility corridor of the electric buses that will be purchased through the other projects.
