3 Mobility Management?

4 What is Mobility Management? It is a concept to promote sustainable transport and manage the demand for car use by changing travellers attitudes and behaviour. At the core of Mobility Management are "soft" measures like information and communication, organising services and coordinating activities of different partners. Soft measures most often enhance the effectiveness of "hard" measures within urban transport (e.g., new tram lines, new roads and new bike lanes). Mobility Management measures (in comparison to "hard" measures) do not necessarily require large financial investments and may have a high benefit-cost ratio.

5 In a city with Mobility Management: you would notice campaigns and promotions for walking, cycling and public transport; you could be offered personalised travel assistance to help you see where and how you might be able to reduce your car use; your employer might pay your public transport tickets to encourage you not to drive to work; at home, you might have a carsharing service available on the street outside your house, at your children s school, there could be a mobility plan organising safe walking for the children s trip to school, for leisure trips by public transport you would have the option of using the consulting services of the local mobility centre; building permits might be connected to certain requirements to minimise the mobility impact of the new development, for example through a mobility plan or through limiting the number of parking spaces provided.

13 So why bother with Mobility Management?

14 Because it works! Programme of MM measures in Darlington, England, cost 923,000 in 2006/07. Impact: reduction of 12.8 million car km in one year (shorter journeys, shifts to walking and cycling, though not public transport). Total benefit about 7,936,000 (car operating cost to the individual of around 0.50 per km (petrol, insurance etc UK Automobile Association figures) and an average external cost (pollution, accidents etc) of 0.12 per km, Rate of return 860% (or 8.6:1) in year one figure excludes health benefits from switch to active travel. Typical rate of return from road and rail schemes 300% over years

15 It also works on the company level: Mobility plan installed 1997 increase from 200 to 480 employees Invest: Euro per year Impact: modal share single car down from 46 to 22% (against Brussels general trend!) Direct monetary benefit: no invest into parking necessary 114 spaces saved (at about 1000 Euro/year /year) Not counted: health benefits, benefits from employer satisfaction, image benefits, macroeconomic benefits
