The Albanian Government and the National Spatial Plan have identified the Tiranë-Durrës area, as one of the most important economic areas of the country, and of the Balkan region. To ensure a sustainable territorial and urban development of this area, the Ministry of Urban Development in cooperation with the National Territorial Planning Agency has taken the initiative to draft a Cross-sectoral Integrated Plan for the economic area Tiranë – Durrës.

TP2- Multimodal system and<br />

interurban public transport<br />

The development <strong>of</strong> regional mobility and<br />

optimization <strong>of</strong> public transport aims<br />

at improving and making more efficient<br />

the movement <strong>of</strong> individuals within this<br />

geographic and socio-economic space.<br />

The <strong>Integrated</strong> Corss-sectorial <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Economic <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Tirana</strong>-<strong>Durres</strong> aims to provide<br />

quick access to the main regional hubs and<br />

poles to facilitate the movement <strong>of</strong> residents<br />

and tourists and to create the necessary<br />

conditions for mobility efficiency in day-to-day<br />

commuting.<br />

The development <strong>of</strong> interurban public<br />

transport and the multimodal system will<br />

create the necessary conditions for reducing<br />

traffic density and environmental pollution.<br />

The rapid mobility system to and from the<br />

regional urban centres is based on the<br />

creation <strong>of</strong> efficient transport lines, with<br />

clear urban and interurban stations that<br />

enable exchanges between different means <strong>of</strong><br />

transport through multimodal “hubs”.<br />

The interconnection <strong>of</strong> urban centres will<br />

be strengthened through the integration <strong>of</strong><br />

different modes <strong>of</strong> public transport, based on<br />

railway mobility supported by bus lines and<br />

multimodal stations. To achieve this goal, the<br />

municipalities <strong>of</strong> the region should encourage:<br />

• The development <strong>of</strong> compact and efficient<br />

urban centres served by public transport<br />

systems, with high connection capacities<br />

between urban poles and entry gates,<br />

supported by parking areas to cope with<br />

extraurban flows.<br />

• The integration <strong>of</strong> all systems and services<br />

in the transport network, and support<br />

with public transport the areas <strong>of</strong> tourism,<br />

employment, education and services.<br />

• The improvement <strong>of</strong> options and<br />

diversification <strong>of</strong> mobility choices in order<br />

to reduce the use <strong>of</strong> private vehicles for<br />

commuting.<br />
