📋 Tender Overview
Citizens mobility can only be provided closely with all parties involved and by making data -based decisions. This is my priority and at the same time a common, steady task of state and municipalities, emphasizes Minister of Transport Atis Svinka, today participating in the Latvian Municipal Union (LPS) National Economy Committee meeting. During the meeting, the Ministry of Transport (MoU) discussed changes in regional traffic and solutions to the mobility of the population next year. Taking into account the planned changes in the Riga metropolis area, it is important to cooperate with higher synergies in Riga and Pieriga municipalities, attracting the company Rigas satiksme to passenger transport. There are still many unused opportunities for mobility in the Riga metropolis. I am convinced that when we work together, we will be able to make the daily movement of the population more comfortable. The first step is already taken - Riga and Ropazi municipalities have agreed on cooperation. The Minister emphasizes the need for data and data -based decision -based decisions as a major precondition for effective public transport solutions. A unified state and municipal database on the current situation in the field of passenger transport will give a clear understanding of the introduction of specific solutions and efficient resource management. In this framework, one of the work issues to be addressed is the analysis and possible integration of school buses in the regional bus route network. At the same time, the MoU emphasizes that it will continue to develop railway as the spine of public transport, developing a regional bus network as a complementary train routes. Both we and the LPS see opportunities for efficient improvement of the transport network. Student buses, regional buses, city buses and trains - need to find synergies and minimize the overlap of the routes. Lets start with common priorities: data collection and deeper analysis, During the meeting, the parties agreed to work together to establish a sustainable regional public transport financing model, to define the availability of regional transport network routes by setting the minimum availability of availability requirements. Similarly, in cooperation with the LPS, it is planned to review the quality requirements of regional bus transport. We need to be able to work more efficiently by understanding the real peoples movement needs and trends to ensure the service within the existing budget. Less but more efficiently, one must be the result of a joint work, explains the Minister of Transport. Similarly, next year, it is planned to develop a sustainable solution and funding model for a new service - public transport on demand in the countrys undergoing locations in close cooperation with the LPS and other parties involved.
