PROPOSED LAW NO. 214 /X

PL 7/2008

2008.06.12

Exhibition of Motives

The Metropolitan Transportation Authorities (AMT) of Lisbon and Porto were created

by Decree-Law No. 268/2003 of October 28, as amended by Decree-Law No 232/2004,

of December 13, which it established, specifically, that the AMT were entities

business public and approved the respective statutes.

However, the institutional model advocated by the aforementioned legal diplomas does not

corresponds to the technical and political understanding required for the weighting of the two

cross-sectional problems in the passenger transport sector in the large agglomerations

urban, namely: the need for articulation of public policies with incidence in the

metropolitan transport system, both at the headquarters of policies defined by the

Central Administration, as in the headquarters of measures defined by the Local Administration; and the

need to ensure the financial sustainability of the transport system

metropolitan, by way of the increment of demand for public transport and diversification

of the sources of funding.

Having as an assumption that AMT should function, first and again, as entities

responsible for the articulation of public policies with incidence in the transport system

metropolitan, understood the Government that there are several reasons that justify the

presentation of a new model for the AMT, highlighting the following:

2

-The business form advocated by the previous model is not coated with the fact of the

AMT exercise state functions, detaining, as such, powers of authority. Thus,

in the proposed model, the AMT are legal persons of public law, with

administrative, financial and heritage autonomy;

-The previous model featured a mechanism of representation of the Administration

Central and Location that does not consider itself to be appropriate: thus, the new model implies the

mixed composition of the AMT, respecting the principle that the Local Administration and

Central participate in the measure of the respective assumption of responsibilities,

in particular of a financial nature, in the metropolitan transport system,

finding a solution that elevates the metropolitan scale the treatment of policies

of transport of the Metropolitan Areas of Lisbon and the Port;

-The previous model consected a set of assignments for the AMT without, however,

to provide them with the necessary skills to pursue such assignments. Thus, the

reformulation of the model implies the concrete definition of the relevant functional nuclei

of attributions of the AMT, ensuring an appropriate level of transfer of

competences of the Central and Local Administration, taking into account the level of intervention

intended for the systems of metropolitan mobility. AMT must be gifted

of assignments and skills that enable them to act on planning

strategic, coordination and surveillance of the transport service, on the subjects of

financing and charging, promoting the use of public transport, in a manner

integrated and potentiator of intermodality, taking into account the policies of

spatial planning and management of the public route;

3

-The previous legal regime did not provide for actual planning instruments: in fact,

despite the reference to instruments such as the "transport plan", the same no

was sufficiently densified, nor had any content, force, and

elaboration procedure defined, thus running the risk of becoming a

instrument without binding force. In the proposed model, it sought the Government

find solutions, which go through ensuring the consecration of instruments of

planning that, in addition to establishing guidelines, have binding force to

that effectively organise mobility and ensure its articulation with the

planning of the territory.

The new figurine of organisation of the transport system in metropolitan areas is based

in the following strategic objectives:

-First of all, the definition of a model compatible with the framework

community, particularly in relation to the compensation of service obligations

public in land transport. For this, the Government proposes the approval of a

autonomous legal regime in connection with contracting of public transport service

of passengers, providing, in accordance with new Regulation of the European Parliament

and of the Council on public rail and road transport services of

passengers, a clear legal framework for the transportation market of

passengers by land routes. The AMT and the Institute of Mobility and Transport

Terrestrial, I. P., assume the main tasks with regard to the reorganization of the

transport systems in their various scales-urban, regional, national, having in

account, the progressive institution of a regulated competition mechanism, having

as a basis the regime-rule of the public service contract;

4

-Second, it is necessary to articulate the mobility systems with the various

territorial management instruments-regional planning plans and

municipal steering plans-in such a way as to achieve integrated planning and

coherent of the territory, mobility and transport systems. The present law comes

institute a set of instruments that potentius the said purpose of

integration and coherence, namely the consecration of a new sectoral, strategic plan,

congregating public policies such as spatial planning and the environment with

incidence in mobility and transport-the Urban Travel Plan (PDU),

with reflections in the classical territorial management instruments. Beyond the most, the

AMT will draw up the Operational Programme of Transport (POT) that defines the

aspects necessary for the operation of the urban passenger transport in the respective

Metropolitan areas, detailing the costs and sources of financing of the systems

of metropolitan transport, forecasting the celebration of contracts-programme and

constituting itself as the foundation tool for the gradual and progressive contracting of

public transport services;

-Third, it imports to articulate the various components of the mobility systems,

promoting intra-and intermodality, acting, in subjects such as circulation

urban, parking, networks and services, schedules and charging;

-Last but not least, it stands out for the strategic objective of

increment of demand in urban and metropolitan public transport.

The hearing of the National Association of Municipalities should be promoted.
