1 Iceland Information / latest news High-quality transit system in Reykjavik Capital Area NVF s udvalg Udformning Møde april 2018 Levi, Finland Valtýr Þórisson / Margrét Silja Þorkelsdóttir

2 City-Line / Borgarlína A high-quality transit system is a key element in the regional plan for Reykjavik Capital Area

3 Reykjavik Capital Area Facts Greater Reykjavik - The Capital Area of Iceland is made up of seven municipalities, with inhabitants or two thirds of the Icelandic population. Year Land used It is the only urban area in Iceland and therefore plays an important role as a centre of government, education and culture for the whole country. In recent decades, the Capital Area has experienced extensive growth with urban sprawl, increased traffic and longer distances for people to travel. Population Inhabitants/ha AADT main arterial road

4

5 The Capital Area 2040 Key aspect A key aspect of the 2040 vision is that population growth must be dealt with without car traffic increasing at the same rate and without uninhabited greenfield being developed on to the same extent as in previous decades. Growth should be smart and not impair environmental quality. The focus is therefore on improving public transport where the aim is to increase the modal share of public transport % % 12% 76% 58% 30% 5

6

7 2 paths different results Continue on the same path Change travel pattern

8 Year 2030 Modal splits

9 Investment until 2030 Transportation projects Road infrastructure 400 million EUR Roads 150 million EUR Public Transit 250 million EUR

10 Year 2030 Increase in daily car trips Increase in daily transit passengers

11 Year 2030 Delays in traffic

12 Conclusion More traffic Increased delays Bigger eco footprint More travel options Decreased delays Smaller eco footprint The goal that increase in car traffic will not be more than population growth can only be met by changing travel patterns. Therfore investment in infrastructure must provide public transit in a roadway that is dedicated to buses independent from other traffic.

13 Seperate lanes 5-10 min. frequency Pay fares outside bus What is Cityline? Priority at intersections Reliable service Low steps at door

14 Bikes in buses Heated main bus stops Real time travel information High class transit system Bus rapid system Entry thru all doors Increased capacity

15 Longterm project many phases ahead A. Initial, organization and overall screening phase New Regional Plan B. Screening and scoping phase Corridor in master plans C. Clarification report phase Financing D. Outline design, EIA E. Detail design and construction

16 Cowi - screening report Multi criteria analysis Corridors to alignments

20 Recommendations for the further Borgarlína process 58 km of infrastructure until 2040 First phase should be km BRT chosen but not LRT Costs for the first phase of a BRT is around million EUR
