Abstract

Mobility management in agglomerations requires an integrated approach. For this purpose, Metropolitan Association was established in the Upper Silesia Agglomeration, which is polycentric in nature, with over 2 million inhabitants living in several dozen cities here. Metropolitan Association began to operate on 1 January 2018, after several months of organizational work. It has its own separate (although small) budget. The first task is to carry out the tariff and ticket integration of public transport in the Agglomeration area. However, several redistributive actions have also been taken: implementation of free travel on public transport for individuals under the age of 16 and financial support for municipality investment within the framework of the so-called Solidarity Fund in the amount of almost one-third of the Metropolitan Association budget. The efficiency and effectiveness of the presented organizational solution can only be assessed after a longer period; however, the activity of Metropolitan Association should already be analysed, because it is regarded as an organizational solution for the future, serving as model for other agglomerations.
