Six steps to an effective mobility policy

Drawing up a sustainable mobility policy is not as complicated as it sounds. It is easy to sum up in a few steps:

1. Review the current situation
2. Define clear and measurable goals
3. Develop appropriate measures
4. Bundle all goals and measures into a policy
5. Implement the policy
6. Evaluate and improve the policy

To change anything, you first need to know the current policy. How do employees travel now and who uses which options?

That way you can find out where the needs lie and what solutions you need to think about. Once you have mapped out the current situation, set clear and measurable goals. What is the motivation for your sustainable mobility policy? Think about cost savings and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Clear goals? Then think about how you can achieve them. You develop clear solutions, such as bicycle allowances and public transport passes. All the measures and allowances are combined in a mobility policy.

Now it is important to ensure that the employees of your organization support this plan. Provide clear communication to your employees, managers and other stakeholders. Only then will you achieve a smooth introduction of the new policy. Has this been successful? Then it is important to regularly check whether it really has the desired effect, or whether you need to improve something. Together with our specialists, you can easily go through these steps and arrive at a sustainable mobility policy.
