Evaluation Methodologies for Mobility Management
05th Dec 2012
In 2012 the City of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, installed a Park and Bike Terminal that invites commuters to exchange the last part of their drive with a bike ride. The facility is located in about 7km from the city centre in Lystrup and provides parking for 100 bicycles and 60 cars. The project aims to increase the number of multi-modal trips by establishing a parking facility close to radial roads and cycle tracks.

This project report by Transport for London was published in 2009. The project was developed to provide the foundations that could enable Transport for London to introduce trials of load carrying bikes in a variety of freight roles. The report outlines the advantages and disadvantages of using cycles to move freight

Sustainable Mobility Initiatives for Local Environments (SMILE) is a modelling tool designed for use by local governments to predict which sustainable mobility initiative will be most effective based on their local population's transport choices. All local councils in the Sydney Statistical Division can access a detailed map of their local area through the SMILE Sustainable Mobility Register. Each map identifies the mode switching potential of the local demographic groups or 'clusters' from which we can predict which specific sustainable mobility initiative will be most effective in encouraging travel behaviour change.

Running from May 2011 until April 2014 and spanning 12 countries,the EU-funded project Cycle Logistics aims to reduce energy used in urban freight transport by replacing unnecessary motorised vehicles with cargo bikes for intra-urban delivery and goods transport in Europe.

This video, created in partnership by Streetfilms and ITDP in 2012, showcases San Francisco’s new sustainable transportation measures. These include the parklet program, which converts parking spaces into people spaces in the form of mini-parks adopted by local businesses. The city has seen a 71 percent increase in bicycling over the last five years, moving them closer to their goal of having 20 percent of all trips by bicycle before 2020.

In March 2012 the City of Sydney released a framework for action to improve transport and access in the City. The report provides detailed transport statistics. More than 90% of internal trips within the city are by foot and that the number of cyclists riding into Sydney has increased by 60% in the last 12 months.

This draft chapter of the book 'Cars and Carbon' investigates the role that mobility management plays in an efficient transport system. Written by Todd Litman, Victoria Transport Policy Institute, it describes the basic principles that a transport system must reflect to optimize efficiency and maximize benefits, identifies various transport policy and planning distortions that result in economically-excessive motor vehicle travel, and describes various reforms that correct these distortions, resulting in more efficient transport patterns.

This report, published by the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in March 2012,examines the benefits and affectiveness of cleaner vehicle strategies versus mobility management strategies.
21st Feb 2012
In February 2012 the European Platform on Mobility Management (EPOMM) released a series of reports about the mobility management policies, projects and data in 26 countries. The standardised reports have background information about each country including mode splits and trends and an overview of transport planning.

NICHES+ Study Tour Catalogue is a guide to urban transport innovation. Its aims to provide urban transport professionals and local decision makers an overview of European towns and cities that successfully implemented innovative strategies which have the potential to become mainstream transport solutions. The Guide has a section on cycling facilities and case studies demonstrating bicycle storage, combining cycling with public transport, and public bicycle schemes.

Released in 2010 by the US Federal Highway Administration, this publication explores how transportation planning and programs can improve community quality of life, enhance environmental performance, increase transportation and housing choice while lowering costs, and support economic vitality. Many of the case studies resolve capacity and operational issues through a multimodal network and systems approach, reflecting better integration of land use with transportation.

This chapter of Planning Sustainable Communities published in 2007 was written by Porfessor John Renne. The document proposes a method to evaluate six aspects of Transit-Oriented Developments including 1. Travel Behaviour, 2. The Local Economy, 3. The Natural Environment, 4. The Built Environment, 5. The Social Environment, and 6. The Policy Context.
