Communities of Interest: Active Mobility

The CoI on Active Mobility is organising its ongoing Knowledge Series. In monthly workshops, members share experiences and best practices so that mutual lessons can be learned and progress can be made together. 

This month, the CoI dove into the subject of employer approaches that encourage people to cycle or walk to work. Uruguay shared the methodology developed for institutional sustainable mobility plans. This participatory approach offers an impressive toolkit that provides clear steps and tailor made tools for every organisation. POLIS presented the program Cycling Cities III in South Limburg, with impressive results: 15% of visited employees changed at least one day a week their travel behaviour in a more sustainable way. Rotterdam presented several local programs, such as a pilot project that helped more people find a job by providing them, amongst others, with (e-)bikes! For illustration, please find Uruguay, POLIS and Rotterdam’s slides below.
