Diving into the 10 Principles for Sustainable Urban Transport!    Principle 6️⃣ focuses on enhancing #publictransport and shared mobility, making our cities not just sustainable but also more accessible and inclusive.    Investing in the future:    🚍 Reliable & clean: Electric buses and dedicated lanes for efficient and sustainable public transport.    🚲 Bike-friendly stations: Convenient bike parking at transit hubs to encourage multi-modal journeys.    🎫 Integrated planning & ticketing: Simple, affordable options across all modes, including #paratransit.    🚗 On-demand services: Flexible and shared services for enhanced #accessibility.    📜 Safe & regulated: Proper regulation for minibus and (moto-)taxi services.    Connecting the dots:    🔗 Shared mobility integration: Bike- and car-sharing linked to public transport for seamless travel.    📱Enhanced user experience: Free WIFI, e-payment, priority signals, and real-time information.    🗺️ Door-to-door planning: Reduce car dependence with user-friendly journey planning tools.    Inclusive & Equitable:    🔒 Secure environments: Ensure safety for all users, regardless of gender or ability.    🚺 Gender-sensitive design: Network planning that considers diverse needs and journeys.    Learn more about the role of gender-disaggregated data in building equitable cities by reading our report "Sustainable urban mobility through a gender lens in Tirana" ▶️ https://bit.ly/3ul2p04    Download all the principles here ➡️ bit.ly/498kNJj and stay tuned for more detailed insights into each of them!    #WeChangeTransport #SUMP #LivableCities #SustainableTransport  (CT) 

Mobility Week (next week) 😆 No, it’s not a joke … it’s major cities all over Europe, focusing on sustainability in urban mobility … so get inspired and have a brief look at the Voyagerr Mobility Solutions and have yourself some sustainable mobility (next week)💜

[Sustainable urban mobility] Every year from 16 to 22 September, European towns showcase their commitment to clean and sustainable urban transport during #MobilityWeek .🌳🌳🌳🏙️🏙️🌳🌳🌳 How do on-demand transportation services fit into this? Increased use of on-demand mobility services can, for example, lead to: • Reduced need for private car ownership. • A decrease in traffic congestion. • Reduced emissions and a more climate-friendly city environment. Voyagerr’s digital platform helps public transport authorities and operators efficiently plan, manage, and integrate on-demand transportation (also known as DRT) services both for the wider public and for passengers eligible for public transportation.

Are shared mobility services really sustainable, and are people willing to use them? A recent study we have performed shows that this should really be the case. One of the main reasons why automated mobility could make road transport more equitable, efficient and sustainable is the possibility to finally unlock the potential of shared and pooled mobility services. Whether people will eventually embrace this possibility for their daily mobility is however still widely uncertain. In a study just published on Smart Cities MDPI we have assessed preferences and impacts of a pooled navette service available to the employee of an international organisation to reach the surrounding transport hubs for their business trips. Results provide clear evidence on the potential benefits of these solutions and the need to support building the political and technical framework required to favour their widespread deployment. Congratulations to the team for the very interesting study! Ada Garus, Andromachi Mourtzouchou, Jaime Suarez Corujo, Georgios Fontaras Proud to be part of the EU Science, Research and Innovation

4 initiatives launched in #Europe to improve #urbanmobility... 🚀👇 🔍 For this second Summer Stop series, we focus on four European cities that have made sustainable mobility their top priority. It's a daily battle that involves reducing traffic jams, promoting #intermodality and switching to greener modes of transport... 👉 Find out how they have met these challenges: https://lnkd.in/dksHmtwE 📅 See you next week #SummerStop #SmartCity #SmartMobility

Sustainable Urban Mobility: Rethinking Transportation for a Greener Future Sustainable urban mobility refers to transport systems designed to be environmentally friendly, socially equitable, and economically viable. It focuses on reducing reliance on fossil fuels while promoting efficient public transportation, cycling, walking, and shared mobility solutions. To achieve sustainable urban mobility, cities can adopt several strategies: 1. Public Transportation: Enhancing public transport networks by increasing frequency, reducing fares, and improving accessibility encourages people to leave their cars behind. 2. Active Transportation: Developing infrastructure for walking and cycling, such as bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly pathways, fosters healthier lifestyles and reduces congestion. 3. Shared Mobility: Services like car-sharing, ride-sharing, and bike-sharing make transportation more accessible and efficient, decreasing the number of vehicles on the road. 4. Electric Vehicles (EVs): Promoting EV usage through incentives and charging infrastructure can significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. 5. Urban Planning: Designing cities that prioritize mixed-use developments encourages local living, reducing the need for long commutes. Incorporating these principles not only improves air quality and reduces traffic congestion but also enhances the quality of life for residents.

🚉 Exploring the Future of Transportation: Mobility Hubs 🌐🚍 Mobility hubs are transforming urban transportation by seamlessly connecting various modes of transit. From buses and trains to bikes and scooters, these hubs facilitate efficient and integrated mobility solutions. At Nota Bene we have enjoyed working with local councils to help develop innovative mobility hub plans that contribute to the creation of efficient, sustainable, and interconnected transportation networks in cities. 💼 If Mobility Hubs is on your agenda and you're not sure on how to get started, get in touch with us. 🌐- https://ow.ly/yh9T50RxqjH #MobilityHubs #FutureOfTransportation #UrbanMobility

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 “𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞”? It’s the time needed for a passenger to reach a transportation facility from their starting location, encompassing walking time, waiting time, connection time, and egress time. For example: 🚶♂️𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: requires no access time as you can start walking immediately, though it covers limited distances. 🚴♀️𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: might generally require 2 minutes of access time, but it allows for longer distances compared to walking and can take you directly to your destination. 🚌𝐁𝐮𝐬: usually involves a short walk and some waiting time, but covers more distance. 🚗𝐂𝐚𝐫: typically needs 5 or more minutes for access and egress time, and generally entails parking issues. 🚆𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧: it typically takes 20-30 minutes to reach a station, but it can cover long distances efficiently. In summary, shorter access times make a transport mode more convenient initially.  💡𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬.
