Metropolitan tramways and underground bypass railway
The report, while it shows that no variations occurred neither in the local public transport network nor in the rail network, signalises on the other hand the opening of the work sites of the Metropolitan tramways, the advance of the works for the underground bypass railway and the restart of planning and project activities.

Strength lines and new services
The Report focuses for the first time the strength lines network, already considerable and in course of expansion, includes, subways, a part of the bus services, the trolleybus lines and the main part of the tramways.

Toward a sustainable mobility
The document shows that other interventions are in course of realisation, developed by the Municipality of Milan, aiming to a sustainable mobility.
One of these is the Mobility Management for a rational management of the mobility demand, involving directly the main firms of Milan and the urban area; they might charge a responsible for the trips of the employees (Mobility Manager). The Municipality, supported by the Agency, started a set of  activities, among which is the institution of the Mobility Manager of the Municipality, considered as a “firm” itself.

Regrading of the road network
The snapshot of the urban mobility in 2001 shows that a regrading of the road network has been undertaken, with the completion of the axes, the renewal of the big access junctions to the city and the arrangement of a large part of the urban roading. In matter of vehicular traffic regulation, the interventions are focused on two aspects: the integrated monitoring, control and managing system and the new disciplines for parking and circulation; these two lines of intervention were accelerated in the last years, both in the historical centre and in the suburbs. New approaches to the urban mobility have been set up, prefiguring radical transformations in the way in which the urban space is considered and used.

Traffic control and management
An integral part of the network requalification is the wide, recently started program of dynamic traffic control taking advantage from the introduction of the more advanced telematic technologies, letting envisage an improvement of the life quality for all people moving in the city, both by public and private means. This programme involves a private investment of more than 100 millions of euros, apart from infrastructure works.
Moreover, two mobile laboratories for the correlate study of traffic and pollution (atmospheric and acoustic) have already been delivered; electronic units to automatically detect the main polluants (like CO, NOx , O3), humidity, temperature and noise levels are installed on the critical semaphore nodes. This centralised system for the control of punctual pollution will be related and integrated with the system of Arpa, in the respect of the respective competencies.

Parking regulation
The Report confirms that the parking and circulating demand in the city is widely superior to the capacity and will increase in function of the attractiveness of the functions settled in Milan.
That is why a series of initiatives were undertaken, and realised in the course of 2001, aiming to solve the problem through the regulation of road use, in a way that everyone could take profit of it, but only for the time that is strictly necessary. In this way, the Municipality of Milan aims to:

• eliminate the parasitic parking on public ground;
• reduce the conflict with the residential use;
• activate the principle of turn-over, increasing the offer of places by the mean of park pricing
• increase the use of  multi-storey parking;

The weakness point of this discipline, the control, is solved with recruitement and training  of auxiliary operators.  

Mobility of goods
The transport of goods within the city is at present one of the biggest problems in organising mobility. The Report gives the first data set issued from a study accomplished by the Polytechnical University of Milan, charged by the Municipality, with the co-ordination of the Agency.
The results of the first phase, ended in january 2001, show that the displacements of heavy loads is not limited to the suburban areas, but is also occurs within the city, in the highly urbanised texture.
Therefore, it became necessary the adoption of focused measures, in order to protect the urban areas against the negative effects produced by the movement of  certain types of vehicles: prohibition of transit and parking for heavy vehicles, from 7.30 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. in a large part of the city; prohibition of transit and parking for every vehicle (or complex of vehicles) longer than 7 m. from 7.30 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. between the two rings constitued by the former Spanish Ramparts and Canals.
Moreover, it has been adopted the total  transit and parking prohibition in the area within the Canals ring for every vehicle (or complex of vehicles) longer than 7 m, and the discipline of loading and discharging scheduling within the Spanish Ramparts ring, with the prohibition of effecting the operations on public ground from 8.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. and from 4.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.

Analysis and forecast models
The Report presents the realization, by the Agency, of two new trip assignment models, referring respectively to the public transport and road; these models allow to face the mobility problems of Milan and its surrounding urban area in a more adequate way.
The public transport simulation model is indicated as to be capable to allow for the heterogeneous features of the present offer in the thick network of public transport in the milanese urban area.
The roading model, including Milan and 38 suburban towns has already been tested in in the evaluation of:

•  the channelized roads within the former Spanish Ramparts Ring
•  the impact of the Integrated Intervention Plan in the area Magneti Marelli-Via Adriano
•  the impact on the road traffic and public transport by the restructuration of a urban node (Affori).
