2. Road authorities approaches to intermodal transport
Reasons for P&R poor performance
▶ Limited P&R parking lots available near rail stations ・Neighborhood around rail station stations in Japan is relatively highly- Neighborhood around rail station stations in Japan is relatively highlydeveloped areas, not suitable for parking facilities in the light of land value.
・With limited parking lots available, only few people may change a mode of t t f t t itransport from cars to trains.
▶ Convenience of automobile in rural areas ・Driving to destination directly take less time. ・More expensive for users to use public transport compared to individual cars
Difficult to change behavior of commuters from passenger cars to rail ・Difficult to change behavior of commuters from passenger cars to rail

3. New approaches
v)Integration of land use planning and transportToyama City Pop: 420 thousand
v)Integration of land use planning and transport planning(Case of a Compact City Plan: Toyama City)
As the city sprawled, the maintenance of infrastructureAs the city sprawled, the maintenance of infrastructure became costly and inefficient. Mobility for transportation-poor people was challenge. Set up TOD(Transit Oriented Development) policy
-Concentration of the urban functions to the city center
Set up TOD(Transit Oriented Development) policy focused on public transport
and sub centers-Connect these centers with LRT lines and bus services

4. Lessons learned and future direction
i) C i f d di d f d f di) Constraint of dedicated funds for road Dispute on whether dedicated funds for road should be allocated to other transport mode when the expansion of road network was still under waytransport mode when the expansion of road network was still under way
ii)Sectionalism A principle of self supporting accounts by each transport business makes it A principle of self-supporting accounts by each transport business makes it difficult to share costs and roles each other. The government sets up their organizations by modes, which makes barriers to cooperate each other.
iii)Building a social consensus and campaigning to road users Intermodal measures such as P&R requires changes in road users behaviorIntermodal measures such as P&R requires changes in road users behavior and social consensus, so that beneficial systems for them and campaigning to them is necessary.
iv)Integration of transport planning with other polices e.g. Land use planning, welfare policy, etc
