The objective of Park and Ride (P+R) is to tempt car users to use public transport
as a part of their travel chain and thus reduce the side effects of traffic. P+R of bicycles
improves the accessibility of the public transport system.
The objective of this research was to create the P+R development strategy as a part
of the Helsinki Region Transport System Plan HLJ 2011. This research determined
alignments of improvement and essential development measures of the Helsinki
Region P+R system. In addition the implementation program for increasing the
P+R spaces in the years 2011-2020 was made with roughly estimated cost. The
research also contains discussion of dividing the costs and responsibilities of organizing
the P+R. The research area covered 14 municipalities of the Helsinki Region.
For the research experts of the development of transport system and land use from
the government, municipalities and industrial sector were interviewed. Also, workshops
were held. In the research, international P+R systems were studied to discover
suitable improvement ideas for Finland. The Helsinki Region P+R estimate
operated as a basis for the improvement program of P+R.
The objective of this work’s alignments of improvement on the level of transport
system was to improve P+R in the Helsinki Region and thus promote the realisation
of the main goals of the HLJ 2011. There are currently P+R spaces for approximately
9 000 cars and 11 500 bicycles in the Helsinki Region. The demand of P+R
is expected to grow strongly. The implementation program for the P+R proposes
new parking spaces for approximately 9 000 cars and 14 000 bicycles in the years
2011-2020. The additional parking spaces are mainly located along the new rail
corridors.
The responsibility of coordinating the development of the P+R system is recommended
for HSL, the responsibility of the maintenance is recommended for the
manager of the P+R lot and the responsibility of constructing the P+R lots is recommended
for the municipalities, The Finnish Transport Agency and the Uusimaa
ELY-Centre. However, this does not remove the need for cooperation between individual
organizations. Alternative options for dividing the construction costs of the
P+R have also been formed in the research. The objective is to divide the costs in
the ratio of benefits.
