health of its people, its environment or the local economy
• Promote non-motorized modes and reduce the use of private vehicle
• Upgrade the public transport system; renewed, attractive, competitive and effective
• Traffic calming
• Explore alternatives to the current parking model

PS&SMP; main goals
To reverse the upward trend in the use of private car, transferring car users to public
transport and bicycle
To increase the quality of public space in terms of accessibility by way of car traffic
reduction
To redefine the overall public transport network in order to improve the efficiency
of the system in terms of accessibility and coverage
To set up a new traffic control system giving priority to public transport
To consolidate and extent the network of pedestrian and cycling reserved paths
To implement innovative access and transit scheme according to the
Superblocks philosophy
Escuela Municipal de Música “LUIS ARAMBURU”With the scheme of the superblock is possible to create different and efficient networks for
pedestrians, cyclists and motorized modes
Mobility network; Basic roads and super blocks
The superblock model is the main piece of the mobility network
that liberates the space occupied by cars in the neighbourhoods
and give it then to the people
A superblock is a new concept, a geographical space delimited
by main corridors that covers several city blocks
Private cars and public transport are kept outside the superblock
while the inner streets are redesigned to be mainly used by
pedestrians
Vitoria-Gasteiz has reorganized the whole city in 72 superblocks..

•Continuity: forming a homogeneous and reticular
network, achieving maximum efficiency
•Coverage: accessible to the citizens
•Simplicity: direct lines, orthogonal network and bus
stops at the grid nodes and spaced 400 meters giving full
coverage to the territory
Connectivity: designed to allow the user to reach the
entire city with only one transfer
Accessibility: accessible to all citizens
•A deep change in the PT network. From the current one,
based on 18 bus lines to a totally new integrated grid
based on 2 tram line and 9 bus lines.
•Network Integration: according to the superblocks
scheme

New bus public transport network
20 of July 2009: City council decided to implement a new transport network once
the citizen participation process was finished
101 days later a totally new PT network was implemented on 30th of October
The bus network of Vitoria-Gasteiz was reduced that night from 18 lines to only 9
with new timetables, improved frequencies, more resources, 146 bus-stops
relocated, queue jumpers, traffic light priority for buses, etc.
•New orthogonal design,
•As rectilinear as possible
•Higher commercial speed
•Less braking
•Less accelerating
•Less noise

New characteristics of public transport service
Citizen participation process
New bus public transport network
The “ambassador group” was formed consisting of representatives from TUVISA,
municipality of Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Environmental Studies Centre (CEA).
The ambassador group was trained and then sent to different Neighbourhood Association
and local Councils to contrast with them the Sustainable Mobility Plan, the new bus lines,
the network, the relocation of 146 new bus stops and their most relevant journeys/transfers.
As a result of those meetings changes in routes and bus stops were implemented in the final
design of the new transport network.
