Renewal of public transport in Chitila City

General objective: Creating a public transport system, efficient, environmentally friendly and modern that ensures local/zonal coverage and reduces CO2 emissions and improves the accessibility of environmentally friendly modes of transport. The achievement of the project’s objectives will have a direct positive impact on reducing CO2-equivalent emissions at Chitila City level from motorised road transport, directly contributing to the achievement of the specific objective of Priority Axis 3.2 of the 2014-2020 ROP, namely the reduction of carbon emissions in urban areas based on sustainable urban mobility plans. In this respect, the activities proposed by the project will mainly aim to improve the efficiency of public passenger transport, its frequency and journey times, its accessibility, its transfer from private transport by car, as well as the transfer to non-motorised modes of transport. It will also aim to make the use of passenger cars a less attractive option in terms of economic and journey times than the use of public transport/non-motorised modes, thereby creating the conditions for reducing car numbers and reducing CO2-equivalent emissions. The purchase of environmentally friendly buses will increase the attractiveness of local public transport, which will support modal relocation, i.e. the discontinuation of private car journeys in favour of the use of local public transport. Equipping the public transport fleet with 9 new and clean electric buses will cause some of the current users of the private car to move to public transport, which will reduce the negative impact of motor vehicles powered by conventional fuel engines, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 equivalents) discharged into the atmosphere. The decrease in GHG emissions will be mainly due to a reduction in the number of passenger cars made up of penetration flows with origin/destination in the City of Chitila resulting from modal relocation from the private vehicle to public transport; operation of the public transport service by regular journeys on routes R29 and R37 with eco-friendly buses (9 buses). The integrated nature of the project aims to achieve the main objectives of P.M.U.D Bucharest-Ilfov – (“the impact on the environment”, accessibility), with direct positive effects in reducing air pollution and noise pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. According to the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the Bucharest-Ilfov Region, the development vision by 2030 will be based on the existence of an efficient, integrated, sustainable and safe transport system that promotes economic development and terito
