Administrative Integration: With the creation of the Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid (CRTM), as unique public transport authority, gathering responsibilities of the Madrid Region and the adhered local governments.
Fare Integration: With the implementation of the Travel Pass, which is presently used in more than 70% of public transport journeys.
Modal Integration: Assuming that different transport modes are complementary, coordinating networks and services, being intermodality a key issue.
Technological Integration: Integration of data, formats, protocols and processes between operators customers and authorities.

MAIN OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF CRTM
PT Infrastructure planning in the region of Madrid.
Establishment of an integrated fare system for all Public transport in the region of Madrid.
Definition of a stable and clear financing framework of the whole PT system.
Planning of services and definition of coordinated operational programmes for all transport modes.
Development of a policy of economic control and management of the transport system.
Creation of a unique and global image of the PT system, where CRTM holds the external relations with users.
These functions of CRTM are those of a transport authority which acts in both strategic y tactical fields, leaving to operators the operational area.

REASONS FOR A MUNICIPALITY TO JOIN CRTM
Two main reasons:
The region of Madrid through CRTM pays 50% of subsidy of urban transport
The integrated transport tickets (seasonal pass) can be also used in urban transport
But there are other important reasons:
Technical level of municipalities in transport is low, and CRTM can support them with its technical staff.
Bus stops and shelters cannot be paid in medium-small size municipalities. CRTM invests in shelters and stops.
Local information such as transport maps.
Support in development of mobility policies such as SUMPs.
Close contact and work with municipalities.

To adjust the supply to the demand level under budget restrictions
Increase ticketing options and new technology, implementation of contactless card and future NFC payment devices
New Transport Control Centre integrating all public transport operators and infrastructures under CRTM: CITRAM and providing real time information to the customer
Progress in mode integration (Cercanías) and taking further functions i(taxis, bicycles, car sharing, parking policy, etc.)
Modernization Plan for Interurban Buses under EU PSO, with quality indicators (bonus – malus)
To enhance sustainable mobility plans in our cities and review new land development plans in order to achieve a better integration between public transport and urban planning
To promote the corporate social responsibility (CSR) towards our customer and give them benefits. Importance of a common image
Future challenges
4. Challenges and lessons lernt
18
Creation of a coordinating authority is not easy and must be made gradually
It is important to establish functions and products that no other authority can do, in order to settle down the body and to prevent its disappearing
Fare integration is one of the first tasks to develop since it fulfils the previous point and it is well appreciated by citizens
Legal and administrative issues can be an obstacle to create the authority, but there must be a legal coverage with a clear sharing of responsibilities. Important to think the best approach to development (in Madrid municipalities adhered voluntarily)
A sound financing framework has to be achieved, with participation of ideally all parties involved
The board, technical committees and technical assistance are also means to create a common and useful entity for stakeholders

Feasibility study and design of the PTAIdeally the “strongest” administration must launch it, but with the rest of stakeholders participating. Based on existing situation and functions of the future authority based in:1.Assigned functions2.Institutional insertion and governance3.Organization and staff4.Needed legal framework for creation and development5.Needed economic framework
Discussion of the first model with the different administrations and proposal for implementation.Implementation
1.Development of legal framework2.Information, communication and adaptation of the institutional framework.3.Staff contracting and training (bringing people from admins, but contracting new and fresh staff.
Operation start upFirst assignments: integrated service and mobility plan in the region. Definition of the integrated fare structure
