Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

each municipality, such as: safe parking in
public facilities and institutions, transport
modes interchange possibility, bicycle
renting facilities etc. These services can be
developed through partnership schemes
where local authorities can guarantee the
realization of road infrastructure, while other
partners can support the development of soft
infrastructure.
• Stimulating the use of electric bicycles can
serve as an added scheme to reduce the use
of private vehicles. Municipalities should link
funds generated by public parking with the
opportunities to develop the infrastructure
necessary for this mode of mobility. The
charging facilities for these devices should
be provided in public squares and nearby
institutions.
Municipalities should support incentive
policies in differential taxation for the use of
alternative modes of transport.
Pedestrian mobility in urban centres.
Primary, secondary and local centres should
give prioritize pedestrian mobility.
• Creating quick axes between housing blocks
for pedestrians and eliminating barriers
in residential blocks would make this type
of movement efficient, such as removing
partition walls outside private properties,
eliminating interconnection barriers between
residential blocks. These approaches should
give priority to the movement towards priority
areas such as: public institutions and sociocultural
centres, as well as the multimodal
public mobility stations.
• Pedestrian mobility should be based on safe
access during late hours, enabling lighting
and mobility opportunities for people with
disabilities.
