Exploitable results Mobility management for the urban environment; MOMENTUM After the completion of the MOMENTUM project, it can be clearly stated that mobility management is now widely recognized and accepted in the European Union and identified as a key policy measure to deliver a more sustainable environment. It is apparent that the demonstration projects undertaken in MOMENTUM are varied and wide-ranging with individual aims and objectives. However the MOMENTUM demonstration projects have proved to be successful in not only being able to achieve their initial aims and objectives but have also succeeded in establishing Mobility Management, though in varying degrees, as a new and established strategy and tool in transport planning in Europe. Throughout all the demonstration sites, this awareness of mobility management to politicians, and other bodies such as public transport operators has been successfully achieved. MOMENTUM through the demonstration projects has benefited from being able to identify new techniques within mobility management. The use of promotion and raising awareness campaigns has been central to all the demonstration projects. This area was identified as a key element to the successful delivery of mobility management at an early stage of MOMENTUM and the demonstration projects have shown the importance of identifying this as a key area. As with many strategies and policies, a central element to the success and implementation is that of availability of finance. All projects have identified the need for this, and also how it can hinder the development of mobility management. Financial framework for transport vary considerably across the European Community, however it was still a central problem to all projects, more in terms of how mobility management should continue rather that fundamentally affecting individual projects. The variations of the demonstration projects in MOMENTUM allowed the development of both sites based projects and Mobility centres. MOMENTUM also highlighted the need for the development of partnerships to achieve its aims and objectives. This again has been identified as a key pre-requisite to the successful implementation of mobility management, partnerships between the public sector, private sector, transport operators and the community.
