2) Competency of local public bodies in public transport management

Competency of local public bodies in public transport managementTransport services• Transport services are considered as a provision of transport

within the whole week mainly to schools and school facilities, to public administration offices, work, health facilities providing basic health care and for utilization of cultural, leisure and social activities, including return transport, contributing to permanent sustainable development of territorial entity.

Public service obligation• Region and municipalities in their self-government

competency 1) set a range of transport services and 2) provide public transport services and their connection.

1) Setting a range of transport services in the Moravian-Silesian regionIn the Act No 129/2000 Coll., about regions Regional

Assembly could determine the range of basic transport services:

• In public bus transport is determined a basic transport service for the area of the Moravian-Silesian region (in a range of approved valid timetables) for the whole week:– in a range of all service lines from Monday to Friday – and selected service lines for journey to work (2 pairs

of service lines) on Saturdays and Sundays.• In railway transport is determined a basic transport service

trains according to approved valid timetables for the whole week

Conclusions:

• both – urban and regional transport – are public service = contracted by the regional and local authorities

• => the public authorities could order the scope (No. of lines, frequency) and quality, as they want (and of course according to financial possibilities)

Decides who pays

Plan for 2012-2013 - establishment of a central dispatching and development of intelligent information systems• NOW: electronic off-line information system at

several stops• THEN: After accomodating the vehicles with

GPS system the information will be displayed on-line for departures

• utilisation of the on-line data: to ensure compliance with timetables - to penalize the operators for failure to the timetables, especially to the coordination and monitoring the changes.

Plans for the future - a 5year plan of regional transport service until the 2016- Development and optimization of the range of

transport services (performance, line management, organization of the operation)

- Improving the quality of transport service (barrier free accessible transportation, information systems)

- Deepening of the tariff integration (standardization of fare collection equipment, the integrated smart card, the new elements in the tariff)

- Optimization of the structure of financing the public transport (region and cities and towns are participating)

- Preparation of tenders (input parameters)- Establishment of a central dispatching of public

transport (2012-2013)- Program of public transport promotion
