The primary objectives of the MOSAIC-project were:
Improve understanding of Mobility Management
- review progress to date in passenger and freight Mobility Management;
- clarify the concepts, and their roles within Mobility Management;
- understand and define user needs: defining generalised needs (e.g. broad market requirements), while retaining specific requirements (e.g. needs of disabled travellers)
Demonstrate concepts and services
- configure outline models;
- innovate with new configurations;
- test, monitor and review these configurations;
- refine the Mobility Management models to build upon the lessons learned from the project;
- evaluate the models, both internally and externally to deve-lop valid and transferable lessons;
- assess the potential for the wider implementation of such approaches.
Conclusions and recommendations:
Mobility Management is still an evolving idea. There are not yet any examples of cities or regions where all the elements, roles and services have been combined to form a comprehensive Mobility Management strategy. Unless there are fundamental changes in transport policies, Mobility Management will probably make a measurable but not really significant impact on the choice of transport modes. Nevertheless, Mobility Management measures should be recognised as socially important since they make a significant contribution to raising awareness about the availability of transport alternatives.
Mobility Management is a long-term approach which requires political and public support. The method of achieving Mobility Management objectives should be both top-down (European and national level) and bottom-up (local initiators). The following actions are a sample of the recommendations suggested for each of these levels:
At the European level
- Setting up of an umbrella organisation offering information on best practice in Mobility Management
- Continuous dissemination of examples of best practice to support Mobility Management initiatives on a long-term basis (European Platform)
- Encouraging Mobility Management initiatives in freight transport (research demonstration programmes)
At the national level
- Enactment of supporting legislation and fiscal policies
- Research programmes which concentrate on the national obstacles to the implementation of Mobility Management
- Kick-off Mobility Management initiatives in freight transport
- Encourage Mobility Management activities at leisure and retail sites (most site-level experience to date is at work-sites)
At the regional and local level
- Actively promote the participation of private companies in public-private partnerships
- Initiating research and demonstrator programmes concerning site level applications
Mobility management is only likely to be successful if it has support from all sections of a community and if supported by other measures to improve mobility by sustainable modes of transport. If this is forthcoming then Mobility Management can make a significant difference to the quality of life for inhabitants / citizens in urban areas.
