Urban growth agreement: Within this Plan, five new urban growth agreements (the Kristiansand region, Buskerudbyen, Grenland, Nedre Glomma and Troms?) will be set up in order to reduce GHG emissions, congestion, air pollution and noise in urban areas, as a follow-up to existing ones (Fornebubanen in Oslo and Viken, Bybanen in Bergen, Metrobussen in Trondheim and Bussveien in Nord-J?ren). A new subsidy scheme will also target five smaller urban areas. Total investment in urban areas nears NOK 80 billion, covering measures for public transport, cycling and walking along national, county and municipal roads.The Government contribution will cover up to 50 percent of the costs in five large public transport projects (so-called 50/50 projects) and a new metro tunnel in the Oslo area, Bybanen to Fyllingsdalen in Bergen, Bussveien in Nord-J?ren and Metrobuss in Trondheim.
