  1. PRO.MOTION – Sustainable mobility at home ADD HOME – Mobility Management and Housing Redesigning transportation in residential areas - for liveable neighbourhoods with low energy consumption Two projects supported by

  2. PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME – in a nutshell PRO.MOTION - Redesigning transportation in residential areas with low energy consumption • runs from Nov. 2007 – Oct. 2010 • has 18 partners • concentrates on applications and training for energy agencies, municipalities and housing related companies ADD HOME - Mobility Management for housing areas - from car-dependency to free choice • runs from Dec. 2006 – Nov. 2009 • has 6 partners • deals with framework analysis/best practise as well as demonstrations and training for energy agencies, municipalities and housing related companies

  3. The idea behind PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME • High potential – many transport related decision are taken at home! Source: Municipality of Graz – mobility behaviour of people living in Graz 03/04

  4. The idea behind PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME • High potential – many transport related decision are taken at home! • High effect – large energy saving potential within the topic of housing and mobility!

  5. The idea behind PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME • High potential – many transport related decision are taken at home! • High effect – large energy saving potential within the topic of housing and mobility! • High suitability – many car-trips can easily be substituted by PT, cycling and walking!

  6. The PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME objectives • Equal conditions for modal choice at home • Reduction of traffic performance of individuals • Ownership at offers, processes and services for sustainable mobility • Residential areas with high living quality: Green spaces, space for social activities/exchange and sound neighbourly relations

  7. The PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME approach • Improve accessibility by infrastructure and organisational measures • Raise awareness and correct subjective perception • Create ownership and motivate people to change habits and… • Use a bottom up approach: working groups with residents, housing companies, transport providers, etc…

  8. The target groups • Inhabitants • Construction companies • Property management companies • Tenant associations • Public Transport Providers • Management / Energy Agencies • Technical staff of local and regional authorities • Decision and policy makers at local, regional and national level • Spatial planners and architects • Future personnel working in the field of mobility and housing

  9. Concept phase and analysis PRO.MOTION • Surveys on mobility behaviour and specific mobility demands at application sites • Establishment of stakeholder groups • Setting up LA strategies in Ile-de-France and Midi-Pyreenes ADD HOME • Best Practise databank on existing good actions for sustainable mobility housing projects • Analysis on legal preconditions for sustainable transport solutions

  10. PRO. MOTION concept phase Surveys on “Mobility patterns and behaviour” and “Mobility needs and wishes”. The results are: • Registration of mobility behaviour and patterns before applications begin at each site • Knowledge of specific demands for mobility services and accessibility of the inhabitants of all 14 sites • Knowledge of attitudes to foreseen actions of PRO.MOTION • Identifying the target groups within each complete sample → The results show a heterogeneous picture and each application have different conditions concerning mobility patterns and mobility demands.

  11. PRO. MOTION concept phase A state of the art survey on integrating MM in LA21 showed: • LA21 is a source of inspiration in participation/counselling • Success is depending on a strong policy aimed for sustainable transport and interaction of transport planning and urban projects • Mobility management is poor in LA21 due to • the approach: knowledge of offers, demand and participation differs from other projects / programmes • municipalities lack tools on MM in residential areas • LA21 does not include systematic approaches like travel plans or marketing approaches like mobility agents → PRO.MOTION will result in a specific guide with recommendations for municipalities and place MM in the framework of LA21

  12. ADD HOME analysis Analysis of building codes, spatial planning laws, legal settings for construction and renovation subsidies… Some good examples: • Berlin: no obligations on car parking spaces • SI / BG: max. distance between flat/house and next PT stop • DE: mandatory bicycle parking facilities for all constructions and definition of number, access and configuration • SI: priority list for transport planning concerning modes of transport: walking, bicycling, PT, motorised transport • AT: gratification on building bicycle parking facilities and integration of CarSharing offers → See more at: http://www.add-home.eu/Vorlage.phtml?ID=741&id=1083

  13. ADD HOME analysis Some suggestions for improvement: • Car parking spaces Introducing a max. No. of parking spaces / unit Deregulation of mandatory car parking spaces • Bicycle parking facilities Copy/paste of German/OÖ example to building codes Definition of quality standards • Spatial development Constructions only inside the catchement area of PT Definition of quality standards • Subsidies for construction and renovation of houses Integration of positive criteria for bicycle parking facilities, proximity to PT stops, dense residential areas, CarSharing Cancel mandatory car parking spaces

  14. ADD HOME analysis The ADD HOME Code of practise – Best Practise The project performed an online-survey on good examples in the fields of: • Public transport in residential areas • Cycling and walking in residential areas • Car-related services and measures in residential areas • Mobility information, organisation and co-ordination • Mobility issues in the context of car-free or car-reduced and ecological housing • Miscellaneous 63 Case Studies are documented! → The Code of Practise is available here: http://www.add-home.eu/Vorlage.phtml?ID=741&id=1083

  15. The application projects Among PRO.MOTION’s / ADD HOME’s applications are: Infrastructure planning / organisational measures: • bicycle paths to neighbouring city districts, Riga, LV • B+R and P+R facilities, Györ, HU • CarSharing in residential areas, Genoa, IT Change of people’s perceptions and awareness • city-wide car pooling scheme in Sofia, BU • educational programmes in schools in Martin, SK • Neighbourhood events on mobility effects, Bregenz, AT Motivate to test sustainable transport means / services • competition for design of a PT-stop in Graz, AT • participative workshops creating solutions to sustainable transportation goals in DK and Spain • PT tickets & CarSharing offers for tenants, Bielefeld, DE

  16. PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME training events PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME include training for their target groups to transfer gained knowledge in 19 sessions: • Target group tailored: meet the needs of the respective audience • Mix the target group: some trainings gathering all stakeholders • Give theoretical and practical input: teach background and experiences • Integrate practical sessions: use the gained knowledge and start planning own projects • E-learning: establish self-study materials for further education online → Look up where the next training takes place! http://www.add-home.eu/Vorlage.phtml?ID=743&id=743

  17. What’s coming up next? PRO.MOTION • Recommendations for planners, developers, construction companies and tenants on • how to improve sustainable transport using MM • how to save energy on transport at home and to demand MM offers ADD HOME • ADD HOME training events • Guidelines for followers on ADD HOME demonstrations and training events • ADD HOME final brochure → Have a look at our websites!
