Indicator pilot project – 2011
Central Hungary Operational Program
Central Hungary OP
•
Regional OP – total budget 1 726 M EUR (ERDF)
•
Finances projects in the Central Hungary Region (phasing out region)
•
Region includes the capital, suburbs and several smaller cities
•
5 priorities:
 SME’s and innovation
 Development of transport system
 Tourism and cultural heritage
 Development of social infrastructure (health, education, social
services)
 Development of urban areas
Priority: Development of transport
system
What do you want to change?
• Decrease transit traffic in
the capital’s center
• Minimize the decrease of
the share of public transport
in the modal split
• Decrease travel time
(within the capital,
commuting, intra regional)
• Reduce the environmental
load of transport

Connecting output to result
• Determining the connection between output and result
indicators
• How can we measure the contribution of an output
indicator to the change in the result indicator?
• What if there is no change in the result indicator although
the output indicators show progress
Connecting output to result
1. Length of new roads  Decrease of transit traffic on the main
roads of the capital’s center
We expect that the transit traffic moves to the new roads (bypass)
But it depends on several internal factors:
• length and capacity of the new road, additional time
External factors also have large effects on the results:
• fuel prices, congestion charge
Data source and measurement is important to define at the very
start : surveys, traffic counts
Connecting output to result
2. Length of new bike lanes  Decrease in PM 10 pollution
We expect that people will use their bike instead of their car.
•
Number of cyclists and PM 10 pollution should be regularly
measured at new bike lanes.
•
Surveys should be used as well to find out whether cyclists using
new lanes switched from car to bike.
Lessons of the pilot project
• Broad agreement on desired changes is crucial
• Focused vs. ambitious changes
• Start to prepare early
• Very important to define already at the start what and how
would be measured
• Monitoring and evaluation requires adequate and available
databases
