• High effect large energy saving potential
  within the topic of housing and mobility!

  are taken at home!
• High effect large energy saving potential
  within the topic of housing and mobility!

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

The PRO.MOTION and ADD HOME approach

  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

• 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

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

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
