Format:
Guide
Target population:
Local administrations and citizen associations
Objetive:

Provide a set of criteria, tools and examples of good practices on healthier, less polluting multimodal mobility options, for application by public administrations, nurseries, schools, companies or community associations in general.

Methodology:

It proposes a process in five steps:

  1. Start, in which contact is established, an initial workshop is held, and the objectives and field of action are defined.
  2. Analysis, supported by data collected through interviews and surveys of target groups, a collection of examples of good practice, etc.
  3. Conceptual design of the project/specific actions, through co-creation workshops, economic feasibility studies, cost-benefit analysis, and definition of performance indicators.
  4. Implementation of the proposed actions/measures.
  5. Observation and follow-up of the progress of the measures, through monitoring and evaluation, and a final report.
Opportunities and limitations:

It contemplates a wide range of actors that the toolkit can serve children, parents, teachers, administrators of nurseries and schools, local administrations, residents, non-governmental organisations and companies.

It provides an introduction with relevant information about changes in commuting habits.

It provides resources such as questionnaires and proposals for assessing responses, templates for activities and analysis. For each example of good practice activity/measure provided, it assesses aspects such as implementation time, the level of intensity of the planning phase, and the cost of implementing the measure.

Indicators:
Access to infrastructure for active mobility.
Number of bicycle parks in the area (covered/uncovered).
Level of safety at intersections.
Level of dependence on the motor vehicle.
Number of lanes of motorised traffic compared to non-motorised traffic.
Thematic:
