The Self-government of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County is responsible for the planning of regional development. The coordination of the regional development of the county is closely linked to the implementation of projects concerning public transport. Transport, especially its contribution to labour mobility (commuting), is one priority of the County Development Programme 2014-2020. The programme stresses that missing links in the public transport network must be closed and the coverage of isolated towns be improved. Bottlenecks in the public transport network shall be removed and the overall quality of public transport is to be improved. As a cross-cutting objective, the county aims to reduce the CO2 impact of transport by strengthening cycling and public transport against the dominance of individual motorised transport. In previous years, the increase of car mileage by inhabitants was tremendous. Similar to other rural areas in Central Europe, the region suffers from a natural population shrinkage due to low birthrates and outward migration. The county government is legally responsible for the organisation of bus transport within the region and aims to improve its intermodal links – both towards the major train line towards Budapest as well as the county´s bicycle network. Capitalising the learning from RUMOBIL, the county will amend its transport-related policies (Operational Programme of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County 2014-2020). Role in the project What is the partner“s role (and responsibility) in the project? What is the expected benefit for the organisation from participating in the project? Is the organisation performing any economic activity within the project or as a result of it (not applicable for associated partners)? SZSZBMO will contribute and participate in all project activities. The regional self-government will share its previous expertise and current challenges in the domain of public transport, provide input to the elaboration of the Rumobil Model and corresponding policy recommendations, and realise a regional experimentation during the project´s pilot phase. The latter will focus on improving the quality of public transport by improved improved passenger information and better intermodal accessibility of transport hubs. The experimentation will test how people who travel by individual means of transport, mainly by cars and bicycles can be won for public transport. The experimentation will be carried out in close collaboration with the Municipality of Nagykalló. SZSZBMO will furthermore participate in all capacity building measures of the project as it aims to use the gained expertise in the revision of its transport strategies. Necessary policy decisions will be drafted to mainstream the learning of RUMOBIL into the region´s common practice through integration in the Operational Programme of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County 2014-2020. The programme is managed by the council and includes a chapter on transport. On national level, results of the RUMOBIL will be shared with the Hungarian government in view of the National Transport Infrastructure Development Strategy. The county will support Nagykalló in the organisation and hosting of the first RUMOBIL Partner Workshop. The county does not perform economic activities. EU/international projects experience If applicable, describe the organisation“s experience with EU co-financed or other international projects (both participation and their management). In case of lead partner, please describe your capacity to manage a transnational cooperation project. The county has only little experience in European projects. Previous experiences to European territorial cooperation has been limited to the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013 where the county has realised a small number of projects, however not in the fields of transport.
