ministerial meeting on mitigating congestion adding capacity

Government of the Republic of Montenegro Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Telecommunication Ministerial Meeting on MITIGATING CONGESTION ADDING CAPACITYPrioritizing investments to manage congestions (inter-modal aspects, corridors, gateways) M I N I S T E R dr Andrija Lompar 30-31 May, 2007 SofiaBULGARIA

Government of the Republic of Montenegro Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Telecommunication Difficult terrain for construction and high maintenance costs (55% of total Montenegrin territory is above 1000 m of sea level) Improperly treated transport infrastructure in the last 15 years mainly due to weak economic situation and lack of financial sources in the budget Low infrastructure characteristic - steep slopes, absence of shoulders, tight curves, low radii, relatively high pavement degradation

MONTENEGRO TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

VISION

Stabile and sustainable, in wider areas integrated, economically stimulating transport system

MISSION

Qualitative transport infrastructure ready to support economic needs of Montenegro, aiming to encourage its economic development and management, respecting economic principles, attracting private capital in transport and better functional connectivity of transport infrastructure with its users


FACTORS AFFECTING CONGESTIONBY TRANSPORT MODERAILWAY

Necessity for larger repairs of railways infrastructure (167km railway line Bar-border with Serbia include 105 bridges and 106 tunnels(Lack of significant participation of multimodal and combined transportAverage age of rolling stocks over 30 yearsInsufficient logistic chain with the Railway of Serbia and the Port of BarUnfinished development reforms-restructuring and privatization of operating activities

ROADS AND ROAD TRANSPORT

Incomplete road infrastructureExtremely high seasonal traffic distribution namely high traffic peaks during the tourist seasonProblems related to road maintenance and existence of the large number of critical points (incomplete slopes, incomplete bridges, winter maintenance)MARITIME TRANSPORT

Connectionless of the Port of Bar with the transshipment centers in the region with fidder servicesObsolete cargo handling equipmentUnfinished development reforms-restructuring and privatization of operating activities

CIVIL AVIATION

Extreme density flights during the tourist seasonUnfinished development reforms-restructuring and privatization of operating activities


HIGHWAYS AND CORE ROAD NETWORK ACROSS MONTENEGRO

CONGESTION IN MONTENEGRO UNTIL RECENTLY IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEM IT CAME IN RECENT YEARS WITH RAPID INCREASE OF THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY TOURISM- TRAFFIC SUMMER SEASONAL PEAKS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH, IN AUGUST VOLUME OF TRANSPORT IS FIVE TIMES ONE DURING THE WINTER INCREASING TRANSIT IMPACT ON URBAN, LOCAL AND REGIONAL TRANSPORT SEASONAL CHARACTERISTIC IS NOT LIKELY TO JUSTIFIES MAJOR INVESTMENT IN TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE


POLICY RESPONSES TO CONGESTIONS

TRANSFER OF CARGO TRANSPORT FROM ROAD TO RAILWAYCONSTRUCTION OF TERMINALS FOR COMBINED TRANSPORT (PORT OF BAR, PODGORICA AND BIJELO POLJE)CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAYSCONSTRUCTING OF BY-PASSES AROUND MAIN CITIESBETTER MANAGEMENT OF OVERALL TRANSPORT IN MONTENEGRO (USE OF ALTERNATIVE ROUTES, SPECIAL REGIMES DURING THE WEEKENDS, BETTER ORGANISED URBAN TRANSPORT, IMPROVING URBAN-PUBLIC TRANSPORT BY INTRODUCING SEASONAL CAPACITIES)


GENERAL GOALS FOR TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Increase of safety and security in transportIncrease of the quality of transport servicesLinked Montenegro transport system of Montenegro with Trans-European Transport Network TEN-TTransport infrastructure developed in line with needs of economic developmentProtection of environment in designing and functioning of the transportFair determination of prices in transport Government of the Republic of Montenegro Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Telecommunication
