1 Achieving Resilience and Sustainability in Spain's Public Transportation: Insights from Marta Serrano Balbuena 29:47
Host: Dr. Kaan Yıldızgöz Guest: Marta Serrano Balbuena, Secretary General of Land Transport, Spanish Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility Episode Overview: In this episode of the Mobility Redefined podcast, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz welcomes Marta Serrano Balbuena, Secretary General of Land Transport at Spain's Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. Marta discusses her career journey, sustainable mobility initiatives, the impact of recent floods on Spain’s transport infrastructure, and the resilience of the transport system. They also delve into active mobility, decarbonization, the development of Spain’s high-speed rail network, and the transition to electric mobility. Marta highlights the importance of addressing gender equity in transport and the need for gender-inclusive infrastructures to ensure a safer and more accessible public transport system for all. Key Topics Discussed: Impact of Recent Floods on Spain's Transport Recent floods severely disrupted Spain's transport system, particularly Valencia's metropolitan railway and the A7 highway. The Ministry responded swiftly by reopening the high-speed railway and building a temporary bypass for the collapsed A7 bridge. Over 300 personnel and 100 buses ensured continued connectivity for residents. Climate Resilience in Transport Extreme weather events in Europe have risen by 60% in the past 30 years. Marta stressed the need for better protocols, proactive measures like halting rail services before floods, and rapid responses to save lives and reduce damage. Spain aims to create a faster, adaptive, and resilient transport system. Spain’s High-Speed Rail Network Spain has the second-largest high-speed rail network globally, with ongoing development of the Mediterranean and Atlantic Corridors to boost passenger and freight transport. Rail freight remains low at 4%, compared to Europe’s 10-12% average, with funding largely from the EU's Next Generation funds. Decarbonisation of Public Transport Buses dominate global public transport at 80%, and Spain is investing in electric and hydrogen technologies for decarbonisation. Electric buses are ideal for urban routes, while hydrogen suits long-haul and freight needs. Plans include a dense network of charging stations, with one every 60 km, to meet EU targets. Active Mobility and Urban Redesign Spain’s low-emission zones foster cycling and pedestrian-friendly spaces, extending beyond city centres. Funding for bike-sharing systems and incentives for electric bicycles aim to enhance active mobility. Marta calls for multimodal systems prioritising sustainability and accessibility. Gender Equality in Transport Women comprise over 60% of public transport users but are underrepresented in the workforce. Marta advocates for gender-inclusive infrastructure like well-lit tunnels, safe bus stops, and initiatives to attract women to the sector. Addressing safety concerns is critical, with up to 80% of women reporting feeling unsafe in transit spaces at night. Memorable Quotes: “The freedom to move safely cannot depend on your gender.” – Marta Serrano Balbuena "For every person-kilometre travelled, public transport emits far less pollution than private cars. The future lies in making it the preferred choice for all." – Marta Serrano Balbuena “Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and we must adapt faster to save lives and ensure resilient transport systems." – Marta Serrano Balbuena Learn More About Our Guest: Marta Serrano Balbuena is a leading figure in sustainable mobility. As Spain’s Secretary General of Land Transport, she champions innovative policies to enhance transport infrastructure, climate resilience, and inclusivity.

He highlights examples from Luxembourg and Dunkirk, where free fare systems were successful due to simultaneous improvements in service quality. Mohamed cautions that simply eliminating fares without increasing service offerings may not shift people from cars to public transport. • Redefining Public Transport for the Future Public transport is evolving beyond traditional buses and trains to include a broader range of mobility options such as shared mobility and Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Mohamed explains how integrating these services into a comprehensive mobility ecosystem is essential for creating car-free cities. He stresses the importance of shared mobility, digital platforms, and political will in redefining public transport for future generations.
