The SusTrans project is an international cooperation for a more offers sustainable transport. The project offers solutions in transport for decision makers. <\/strong><\/p>\n

A program designed to supply deficiencies was launched in autumn 2011 in order to provide guidelines for strategy formation in the transport sector. The governmental strategies in their present state are not capable of transposing the transport systems onto a sustainable basis. This two year long program is supported by the strategic grant scheme of the International Visegrad Fund, and is being initiated by Energiaklub (HU) in cooperation with experts of the further three Visegrad countries, involving the University of \u017d<\/em>ilina (SK), Green Mazovia (PL) and Centre for Transport and Energy (CZ).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The processes of the recent years have made it clear that the efforts for mitigating climate change can only be successful if they are expanded to the sector of transport as well. The simple reason for this is that the rapidly growing energy consumption and emission of the transport branch is mopping up all the achievements of all other sectors. This trend is well represented by the fact that transport\u2019s share is more than one fourth of the CO2<\/sub> emission within the EU, while it amounts to 21% of the total energy consumption in Hungary.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the project is to create a package containing strategic and practical recommendations for decision makers, furthermore to set up a knowledge base built on the experiences and information of the partner countries.<\/strong> These will provide valuable guidelines for creating strategies both on national and local levels. The core elements featured in the project are the sustainable transport roundtable meetings to be held in all four Visegrad countries. According to the plans, the participants of the roundtable meetings will consist of governmental strategists, universities, research institutions, local governments, civil organizations and the stakeholders of the various transport modes.<\/p>\n

A comparative analysis has been financed in order to learn the best practice and locate the economical and social barriers of energy efficiency development in V4 countries.<\/p>\n

Energy efficiency analysis of the transportation system of Tata, Hungary:<\/strong> Great challenge for the inhabitants is the heavy road vehicle traffic that could be eliminated by road infrastructure development. As the roads are owned by the state, the problems cannot be solved by the city itself. The greatest challenges of city transportation are the over-emphasizing of individual needs, the lack of willingness to collaborate, and the low occupancy of personal vehicles (1-2 people per car on average).<\/p>\n

The modal shift can be encouraged by the increase of attractiveness of public transport. The proposed EU funded developments can fasten this process. Using public transportation or carpooling schemes would help improve the current situation.<\/p>\n

A bike sharing scheme based on a European models would greatly contribute to creating an energy efficient transportation system in the city. It could be built upon the already existing approach of the city towards cycling, and also, on the inhabitants\u2019 practice and needs. However, further development of the bicycle infrastructure also would be needed for increasing the share of cycling, but as a first step, overall road infrastructure development should be implemented.<\/p>\n
