- PositiveImpact
- A sustainable multi-modal transport hub in Ispra would significantly decrease road traffic accidents by promoting safer transport options and reducing the dependency on personal vehicles. The combined use of trains, electrified buses, and safe pedestrian pathways could foster a culture of safer travel practices and greater awareness of safety issues.
- NegativeImpact
- However, the complex integration of multiple transport modalities could lead to operational challenges and safety oversight lapses if not managed properly. Insufficient training for staff operating new systems and a potential increase in commuting times may lead to frustrations, discouragement from using public transport, and unsafe behaviors among users in high-traffic areas.
- Description
- The proposed alternative of a sustainable multi-modal transport hub in Ispra will likely have mixed outcomes over 15 years. While the positive impacts of increased public transport usage and improvements in air quality are promising, the risks associated with potential operational failures, inadequate safety training, and public discomfort could present a significant setback. The better integration of safety features in the current transport systems in place may still not be enough to mitigate the potential emergence of new safety risks as new technologies and modes of transport are introduced. Therefore, compared to the other evaluated alternatives, this option scores lower as it appears to create more debt than assets for future generations in the safety dimension.
