Summary
Company (commuter) mobility management (CMM) is about: 'Improving mobility effectively through employers introducing measures to influence the business related movement of their staff/employees (and of goods) to reduce avoidable solo-use of the car.'
Since 1989, of the about 16.000 companies in the Netherlands with 50 employees or more, 30% were personally informed about CMM. 6% implemented CMM. The realised car use reduction per company was 8%. The most effective measures prove to be simple measures such as leasing bicycles, contracts with rail/bus operators, and a premium on car-pooling agreements.
A new approach will be to create minimum-packages of company-measures for business areas. Companies and local governments conclude package deals, accepting their respective responsibilities and creating win-win situations through package deals.
Results
Of the about 16.000 companies in the Netherlands with 50 employees or more:
The most effective measures prove to be simple measures such as leasing bicycles, contracts with rail/bus operators, and a premium on car-pooling agreements. These have the potential to effect a 6%-8% reduction of car use.
Around 30% of commuting in the Netherlands is by bike or on foot (data related to distances are not available.) The effect of improvements in public transport on car use is not as substantial as hoped for. Nationwide car use is still four times higher than use of public transport and improvements in public transport have not significantly reduced individual travelling times.
