Overview
Background & policy context:
A major challenge for urban transport policy is to encourage intermodal journeys and reduce congestion. Part of the solution lies in providing attractive interchanges between the different transport modes. However, there is evidence that those who plan, design, build and manage interchanges lack guidance on the needs of users, and on how best to meet those needs at a specific site.
Objectives:
PIRATE aimed to analyse a sample of European interchanges to assess the extent and efficiency with which the needs of the various stakeholders are actually being met, and then to develop and test an innovative approach to defining and providing for those needs. This approach would directly involve stakeholders in the improvement or redevelopment of interchanges.
