Construction Park & Ride Černý most

The project was implemented within the Art. 7 strategy called 1.1.2 Construction and modernization of public transport transfer systems in the capital city of Prague as part of the Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) in the field of transport and strengthening the use of public transport by increasing the capacity of transfer terminals at the most used entrances to Prague. Especially in locations where the parking system is undersized or not provided at all.
The call for project selection addressed Increasing the attractiveness of using urban public transport – contributing to solving the problem of high intensity of individual car transport heading to the capital city of Prague and mainly in centre, which leads, among other problems, to a deterioration of air quality in the territory of the capital city of Prague.
Prague, like other European cities, is struggling with traffic accidents, congestion and emissions caused by a permanent increase in traffic. The above-average demand for individual car transport in the capital city of Prague and in particular the trend of its further increase is caused by several factors. One of the main ones is the process of gentrification, when, thanks to the attractiveness of the Prague urban environment, new jobs and residential areas are constantly being created in a spatially limited area, which logically causes constantly increasing demands on transport. Another factor negatively affecting the increase in individual car traffic is the current dysfunction of the city-wide P+R (park & ride) system, where a sufficiently capacious network of parking lots has not been built in the peripheral parts of Prague in sufficient proximity to public transport stops.
The construction of a new P+R parking lot and the creation of the possibility of parking a car in the peripheral part of the city for a sufficient number of visitors and commuters to Prague and the subsequent use of integrated, environmentally friendly public transport should contribute to reducing the high intensity of individual car traffic and reducing negative impacts on the urban environment (exhalation, traffic jams, accidents). When planning the project, it was expected that the total number of individual car trips in Prague would decrease and the associated reduction in exhalation from car traffic would decrease.
The project implementation was divided into four phases:
• I. Implementation of technical infrastructure relocations.
• II. Modification and subsequent limited operation of the unnamed road NN4142, including three intersections (KI-KII-KIII).
• III. Construction of the first half of the parking garage.
• IV. Construction of the second half of the parking garage.

The construction of the P+R Černý most car park was successful in terms of implementation and all planned target values were met. It helped to implement one of the P+R car parks on the outskirts of Prague, which together should create a ring facilitating the transfer to public transport. The project serves as an inspiration for other peripheral city districts with intensive traffic heading to the city center.

The key factors for the success of the P+R Černý Most project were primarily (i) the Prague City Hall as the applicant and owner of most of the land, (ii) the existence of a P+R parking area on the site of the future object parking lot, (iii) the readiness of the project, including documentation, (iv) an uninhabited location, and (v) support for cooperation with a consulting company. These factors played a key role in the successful completion of the project and the achievement of the set goals, despite various challenges and problems that also emerged during this implementation. It contributes to the overall goal of reducing the traffic load in the capital over time, when the conditions for parking in the center of Prague are tightened. Prague is now one step closer to a cleaner and greener life. "I believe that in Prague it is relatively easy and cheap to park where it is needed. Usability could increase if parking fees were increased." (Respondent).
