An assessment tool of the formulation and implementation a sustainable integrated passenger and freight transport strategies. An example of selected European and Australian cities
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel approach to assessing a maturity level in terms of formulation and implementation of sustainable integrated passenger and freight transport strategies. Proposed by the authors model also enables evaluating the state of the local government (city administration) in terms of the results of undertaken actions. The tool was applied for selected European and Australian cities that function in different cultural, administrative, and environmental conditions. The conducted study showed that the developed model could be utilized by local authorities operating in various environments. Besides the fact that the model enables the assessment of the maturity level in terms of formulation and implementation of a sustainable integrated passenger and freight transport strategy, it also gives a possibility of in-depth analysis of the city in terms of various criteria and comparison of it to other cities. The study showed that the size of the city and its administrative structure does not significantly impact the level of maturity. This study shows that those cities that have achieved the best results in terms of safety and environmental degradation by implementing the most passenger and freight transport measures closely and permanently cooperate with stakeholders and have integrated transport strategies (including passenger and freight transport).
