Madrid

Modal Share

2014; considering those 14 years old and above

Challenges

Improved conditions for sustainable mobility through:

• Pilot parking with priority to HOVs.
• Increased safety for walking and cycling, through the involvement of residents in the selection of measures.

The quality of public transport in the city lab will be improved:

• Focus on the connectivity of the districts with other peripheral neighbourhoods:
• New hybrid buses to improve energy consumption and to reduce perceived noise levels 

Increased attractiveness for sustainable mobility in suburban districts.

Citizens' involvement will be encouraged:

• Design and assessment of safety improvement options
• Design of interventions encouraging cycling and walking.
• Autonomous mobility for vulnerable groups (children and the elderly).

Clean and efficient urban logistics.

• At least 20 tested e-vehicles joining the municipal fleet and 5 urban delivery companies testing e-vehicles
• A new consolidation centre linked to the use of electric vehicles, with 90 t/year CO_2eq  emissions reduction
• A prototype of clean cargo vehicle adapted to the specific needs of Madrid's urban delivery, with 60% CO_2eq  emissions reduction

Transport Infrastructure

Car network

Total city network: 3,000 km. 63% with AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic) below 10,000 veh./day, carrying only 15% of total daily traffic demand.

The remaining 37% of the network with AADT above 10,000 veh/day, carrying 85% of total demand in veh-km.

Cycling network (2016 data)

Segregated ("vía ciclista"): 302 km

Non-segregated ("ciclocarril"): 155 km

Segregated under construction (operational by 31/12/2016): 31 km

Public transport network (2014 data) 

Metro system: 287 km (about 30% outside the municipality boundaries), 12 lines, 240 stops network, 566.7 million journeys per year

Municipal bus system: 1531.7 km network, 204 lines with total lines length of 3621 km, 4630 stops network, 402.2 million journeys per year 

Suburban railway: 391 km network, 9 lines with total length of 778.3 km, 92 stations (34 stations within the municipality), 181.9 million journeys per year

Light Rail and tram system: 35.5 km network, 4 lines, 56 network stations, 13.9 million journeys per year 

Madrid after ECCENTRIC

• 6% reduction of car travel in Madrid, related to those using the new HOV parking management scheme

• Achieve a modal share of 2% for bicycle trips in the lab area

• Increasing the modal share for walking by 6% in the lab area

• 10-30% decrease of average speed in living lab after safety plans implementation

• 50% of reduction in accidents with injuries in the lab area.

• 10% increase in commercial speed and 9% increase in regularity levels in the new high level bus corridor.

•  6 new hybrid buses providing 30% energy consumption savings, and noise reduction.

• 3 pedestrian interventions and 3 traffic safety plans at the neighbourhood level based on a participatory design process. 

• 8% decrease in the number of children travelling to the school by car in the city lab. 

• 20 electric vehicles introduced in Madrid’s municipal fleet.

• 5 urban delivery companies testing e-vehicles in their fleets. 

• 30% reduction of km-goods, thanks to the implementation of a consolidation centre linked to the use of electric vehicles in Madrid.

• Ultra low emission electric-natural gas distribution vehicle developed and tested in Madrid.

• In Madrid, ECCENTRIC will drive the CO2 reduction foreseen in the Air Quality Plan, targeting 51,100 tonnes/year in the laboratory area, with an upscaling potential of 134,500 tonnes in the whole suburban area.
