  1. COMMERCECreating Optimal Mobility Measures to Enable Reduced Commuter Emissions ECOMM 2008 Francesca Cignola London European Partnership for Transport

  2. Commuter Emissions, Congestion and CO2 • Work-related commuter emissions contribute significantly to overall CO2 emissions in the transport sector • Stress, ill health and loss of productivity are directly connected with congestion • Congestion is costing the UK and France respectively 1.5% and 1.3% of their GDP every year • Workplace Travel Planning is an approach to change commuting and travel behaviour and raise awareness on climate change

  3. The COMMERCE project • The COMMERCE project is funded under the Intelligent Energy Europe STEER programme and will run from 2007 to 2010 • Its main objective is to increase the number and improve the quality of Mobility Plans that are developed by public and private organisations across Europe • It will do so by facilitating the exchange of experiences and expertise between two leader cities (London and Paris) and four learner cities (Bucharest, Budapest, Kaunas and Plovdiv)

  4. COMMERCE Partners LEPT, London CRIF, Paris EPOMM Studio Metropolitana, Budapest RATB, Bucarest CCIB, Bucarest Kaunas Municipality, Kaunas Plovdiv Municipality, Plovdiv

  5. AT THE CITY LEVEL Mobility Plan Networks developed in the four learner cities and new Mobility Plans established with local businesses Skills developed through exchange of experience and mentoring between leader and learner cities AT THE EUROPEAN LEVEL Development of a set of EU standards for Mobility Plans Establishment of a Pan European Workplace Mobility Management Award (PEWTA) Set up of a European Platform on Workplace Mobility Plans (EPOWT) Expected Results

  6. Pan European Award on Workplace Mobility Plans - PEWTA • Aim: identifying and showcasing employers that have put in place good Travel Plans to demonstrate the essential role that public and private sector organizations can play in reducing congestion and the negative environmental impacts of transport • Two categories: Companies and Municipalities • The Award will run for the three years of the project and beyond • Prizes are awarded at the annual ECOMM conference

  7. European Standards on Mobility Plans • Benchmarking report on current best practice • Criteria deriving from benchmarking exercise used to assess PEWTA applications • Collection and discussion of best practice throughout the life of the project thorugh: awards, city experiences and European Platform for Workplace Mobility Plans • Guidelines for EU Mobility Plan Standards produced at the end of the project

  8. European Platform on Workplace Mobility Plans - EPOWT www.epomm.org/epowt • EPOWT is an online community for the discussion of Mobility Plans • It allows members to share information and best practice, request help and support from other members, and share opinions • It is open to Municipalities and Employers from across the EU • It will be used as a communication and support tool by the COMMERCE project and hopes to become a valuable instrument for the Mobility Management sector in Europe

  9. City Mobility Plan Forums • Guidance produced by leader cities • 3 year action planning by learner cities • Development of Mobility Plan Forums • Business to business support to the set up of Mobility Plans • Ongoing skill share between leader and learner cities

  10. What we have accomplished so far • Benchmarking report produced by EPOMM • Guide to Travel Planning produced by CRIF and LEPT will be translated into partner languages • Induction seminar with key stakeholders from learner cities • First edition of the PEWTA Awards • EPOWT Platform launched

  11. What lies ahead • Development of City Networks • Expansion of the outreach of PEWTA Award • Development of EPOWT Platform into a full operational tool for the COMMERCE project and the European Mobility Sector • Development of EU Standard for Mobility Plans
