Rethink’s Post

What’s the #1 reason employees prefer working from home? (Hint: it’s not the coffee!) For the majority of workers, avoiding that dreaded commute is at the top of the list.  Consumer values and behaviors are shifting post-pandemic, are your visuals keeping up? Brands have an opportunity to help rethink how we picture public transit in popular images.

In our recent Commuter Census, we learned 81% of commuters are considering an alternative to their current mode of travel... The post-pandemic great behaviour change has the power to shape commuting habits long into the future. Added to the wider debate on protecting the planet and the desire of employees to work for proactive organisations who take their carbon-zero responsibilities seriously you have a powerful equation for change.

New research by IWG and Arup has found that empowering employees to work closer to home - enabling them to split their time between a local flexible workspace and home - has the potential to cut carbon emissions by up to a staggering 90%.

Continuation of my posts on the insights from my latest publication, which is on the #SharedMobility and #MobilityasaService (#MaaS) platforms. Today, I will focus on the #travel #behaviour related #insights and the #related #policy #measures. This is the second part and I will summarise the #gender related aspects in this part. ✅ Though females are more concerned (than males) about environmental-friendly mobility, the #rejection of #innovative #technology (due to their #pragmatic #approach towards mobility) can be a reason for lower probability to use shared services. It could also be a result of not considering the #gender #differences in the planning and operational design. The #mobility #pattern of women is usually different to that of men (e.g., women are involved in longer trip chains than men). Furthermore, #safety and #security #concerns also inhibit women from using emerging mobility solutions. ✅ Service operators usually collect #data, such as the vehicle type and information on the route, but not the gender of the user or the purpose of the journey. Such data, along with studies based on them to capture the #heterogeneous #needs, are critical for adapting the services to different target groups like women. Measures, such as provision of child seats, ensuring planning #reliability and guaranteeing vehicle availability within shorter distances, are of higher importance for female travellers. Also, #safety #campaigns are required to reduce the perceived safety risk for women. ✅ Given the typical higher chaining nature of the trips by female travellers, #interim #parking at various stops can make the trip cost expensive. Therefore, #financial #incentives, such as special rates for families or caregivers around daycare centres, can be beneficial. ✅ To summarise, a better understanding of and #operational #design based on typical mobility patterns of women, their trip requirements and the resulting mobility limitations may pave the way for shared mobility services as an alternative to conventional modes (especially private car) for women, thereby ensuring #transport #equity.

Impressive to share this important info and report!

Building Inclusive Cities 👩🦼 🚌   In India, around 2.21% of the population live with disabilities. The lack of accessible transport not only limits mobility, but also access to important services such as education, healthcare and economic opportunities. It is important to build an inclusive transport infrastructure to meet the needs of all. To address these challenges, we have co-created an extensive report on "Inclusive Mobility for Indian Cities". The report takes an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities for reducing barriers in the Indian transport system. It has been co-authored with persons with disabilities (PWDs) and highlights the obstacles they face in everyday life, such as: ♿️ Inaccessible infrastructure: Ramps, lifts and tactile paths are often not available or difficult to access. 💡 Limited knowledge: Urban planners often lack expertise in designing an inclusive transport infrastructure. 📣 Public awareness gap: The needs of #PWDs are often not understood and addressed. 📊 Lack of available data: Specific data for PWDs is often lacking. This hinders effective urban planning. The report offers a roadmap for building inclusive transport systems for all, outlining proven strategies such as: 🚌 Improved accessibility: Large-scale introduction of low-floor buses, barrier-free public spaces and an inclusive infrastructure for non-motorised vehicles. 🌐 Bridging connectivity gaps: Addressing challenges regarding first and last-mile connectivity between homes and public transport stations. 👥 Stakeholder sensitisation: Providing training of transport staff and policy makers as well as raising awareness among the public. 📱 Leveraging technology: Apps, assistive devices, and real-time data can empower people with disabilities. 🚗 Promoting accessible private vehicles: Fostering the collaboration with car manufacturers to develop more inclusive transport means. Explore how inclusive transport can benefit all citizens, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The report can be downloaded here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghCr4EE3 The report was developed under the framework of the Green Urban Mobility Partnership between #India and #Germany. By promoting #GreenMobility, we foster environmentally friendly transport options such as walking, cycling and electric vehicles to reduce pollution and improve sustainability.

Lack of inclusive mobility is a crucial challenge faced by most of the indian cities that needs to be addressed at all levels through the planning system.

WeWork in Chapter 11 in the US What happens next? In France, nothing - Chapter 11 proceedings will not be recognized until "exequatur" proceedings are completed. Solution? Filing for conciliation or safeguard proceedings for the French entity of the WeWork group who will likely no longer be financially supported by its US parent company. How? In confidential conciliation proceedings and then in accelerated safeguard proceedings to get a restructuring plan approved.
