The Scottish Government aims to reduce car kilometres by 20% by 2030, compared to 2019. To support them, we commissioned a suite of three studies looking into a range of measures that could help reduce car use: - the impact of parking policies by Ansons Consulting - how to encourage sustainable travel among under-18s and their families by The James Hutton Institute and Heriot-Watt University - the benefits of sustainable travel to local high streets and town centres by Cenex. Findings from the three studies have informed the development of an updated car use reduction route map and informed discussions at local and national level. They've helped the Scottish Government to plan future work with schools and can inform local development plans and local transport strategies to encourage a shift to active travel and public transport.

Mobility Partnership Ireland (MPI) is a coalition of leading companies in the shared mobility sector, that aspire to provide leadership and solutions to help Ireland's mobility future.
Dublin ranks the second slowest city in the world when it comes to traffic congestion 🚘 🚦 New data from TomTom, shows trips totalling 10km in Dublin take roughly 29 minutes and 30 seconds. In comparison, Bilbao in Spain, which has a similar population to Dublin, has a travel time of 13 minutes and 40 seconds for journeys of the same distance! It is MPI’s vision that Ireland develops as a global leader in shared sustainable mobility by placing the needs of transport users at the heart of transport policy, enabling innovation, promoting public health, and supporting climate action. 🌎 Shared mobility can help make Dublin a more sustainable and congestion-free urban environment. 🌟 Enterprise Mobility I GoCar Ireland I Yuko Toyota Car Club I Bleeper I MOBY I Aircoach I Payzone Ireland I FREENOW

With over 160 new Active Travel projects delivered in 2024, from improved footpaths and segregated cycle lanes, to pedestrian footbridges and crossings, these projects are connecting communities and making active travel safer for everyone—whether you walk, wheel or cycle. We look forward to the coming year working with Local Authorities to provide safe, healthy and sustainable infrastructure for local communities across Ireland.

We’re encouraged to see meaningful steps being taken to make travel safer and more accessible for those with sight loss. This new partnership, between the RNIB and the Motability Foundation, focusing on improved travel experiences is a positive move towards a truly inclusive transport system. For us, accessible transport means understanding and respecting a wide range of needs—not just physical access, but also sensory and communication support. Each journey we provide is an opportunity to help people feel secure, informed, and valued.

Funded by Interreg North Sea Programme the project "Shared Multimodal Mobility for ALL (SMALL)" is transforming urban mobility and was selected as one of the finalists of the Interreg Slam 2024-2025. 🚲 While shared bikes, scooters, and vehicles have revolutionized city travel, they often cater mainly to young urban adults. Shared Mobility for All is changing that by co-creating solutions that make shared mobility accessible to everyone—children, families, the elderly, and individuals with physical impairments.
