9. Sustainable Energy Action Plan
SEAP target – improvement of energy efficiency
and reduction of GHG emissions - calculated as:
• 80% of CO2emission in 2020 comparing to the base year,
• 80% of energy consumption in 2020 comparing to the base year,
•at least 20% of energy will be produced from RES,
•information and promotion actions regarding energy management/conservation
will be implemented.

14. Public transport system -
ticketing
All ticket categories exist in 2 versions: for 1st zone (so within Warsaw borders) and
for both 1st and 2nd zone; 2nd zone covers adjacent municipalities as to commuting
by Rapid City Train (SKM) and by bus communication managed by Warsaw Transport
Authority (ZTM).
 Standard tickets (from single-travel tickets to 1-hour ones) for Warsaw buses and trains as for
now remain in paper form only.
 1-day and 3-day tickets also exist in paper form – they allow to use the Joint Ticket scheme.
 30-day and 90-day tickets (also in the Joint Ticket scheme) are only coded in electronic form on
Warsaw City Cards, and Student Electronic Cards (national scheme) as well.

17. Plans and present activities:
Transport
Main activities:
• improvement of public transport network,
• replacement of vehicular and rolling stock
261 new trams capable of recovering braking energy
35 six-coach energy efficient underground sets
273 modern buses including hybrids
19 units for Rapid City Train
• construction of second metro line,
• setting bus-only lanes,
• development of P&R car park system,
• expansion of the bicycle paths system,
• Veturilo public bike system,
• training of drivers in eco-driving,
• promotion of public transport.

18. Public transport system
Sustainable public transport system is essential for the
development of the City.
Crucial investments planned for 2014-2020:
•2nd metro line,
•Expansion of the tram network,
•Purchase of rolling stock for metro, tram and urban rapid
railway,
•Development and modernization of railway infrastructure
for travels within metropolitan area,
•Dynamic expansion of P&R system.

19. Development of low-emission bus fleet
• Purchase of bus fleet that reduces emissions
of pollutants and using modern technologies
(hybrid and electric vehicles).
• Tender for 10 electric buses, half of which will
appear on the streets of Warsaw in September
2014. MZA strategy premises 120 e-buses till
2020.
• Operation of electric buses besides
environmental benefits will also bring significant
savings in operating costs.
• In 2015 35 gas buses will join Warsaw fleet.

20. „Veturilo” public bike system
• Launched in 2012 ,
• Almost 2 millions bikes rentals in 2013,
• 1120 bikes available in 173 stations,
• The number of users has doubled over two years - to
about 150 thousands,
• "Veturilo" has been recognized internationally –
among 10 best public bike systems around the world.

21. Bicycle paths in Warsaw

25. Transportation System problems
• lack of ring road systems: inner ring
and central area by-passes
• lack of new bridges
• bad technical state of road surface
• system bottlenecks
• lack of strategic parking system

26. Energy efficiency selected projects
Low-Carbon Area (in preparation)
• Following such world-leading projects as Stockholm’s Hammersby
district.
• City area which will feature solutions on behalf of energy efficiency,
natural environment and low GHG emissions, both in the field of city
planning, energy networks, buildings construction, transport, waste
management, and water and wastewater management.
• The most probable location - Targówek Przemysłowy,
where the major RES source will be available in form of the expanded
waste-to-energy incineration plant.

27. Education of citizens
Education programme „Warsaw Energy – from learning to ECO-
action”
•Dedicated to youngest – children in preschool and primary
school age,
•It aims to raise awareness of energy, its importance in everyday
life and teach in an accessible and interesting way how to save
energy, possibilites of obtaining energy from renewables and
activities aimed at lowering energy consumption at home, school
and preschool.
Information and education campaigns:
•Picnic with Climate
•Earth hour
•Tree day
•Warsaw Recycling Days
•European Mobility Week
•World Water Day

experience and best practices,
• It offered various perspectives on cities role in climate change mitigation
and adaptation – from mayors of world cities, through local organizations
(ICLEI, C40, EUROCITIES) to representatives of governments and scientists,
• The results of works during Warsaw Dialogue, including suggestions for
national level, challenges and best practices to replicate, are presented in
OUTCOMES OF WARSAW DIALOGUES on Scaling-Up Local and Subnational
Climate Action
Suggestions for national level:
(1) allow flexibility and creativity and leadership at urban level
(2) training and spreading of expertise, and knowledge platforms
(3) financial support
(4) remove counter-productive incentives

30. The voice of the cities during COP19
Cities and Sub-national Dialogue
• First time in history during COP conference „Cities
day” took place,
• High level segment – Mayoral and Ministerial level,
• The goal was to create a link between the high level,
national governments and regions,
• It can be considered as the direct and immediate
implementation of the Nantes Declaration of Mayors
and Sub-national Leaders on Climate Change
adopted in September 2013,
• The discussion focused on enhancing adaptation and
resilience in regions and on enhancing global
mitigation efforts through acting at the local level.
Participants shared their ideas and experiences that
can be used in global struggle with climate change.
