The largest European R&D project in the field of Mobility Management
Results available now
MOST has been running from 01/2000
until 12/2002. On this web site you can find the reports, an overview
on results as well as the Monitoring and Evaluation Toolkit to download.
Being mobile is an
essential feature of modern life in Europe. People need to travel
for work, for business, to get to school or to go shopping. Travelling
can also be a leisure activity. Yet transport-related problems rank
high on the list of concerns among people living in European cities
and regions. The way travel is organised needs to be improved, at
the individual and regional level.
Traditional solutions, such as infrastructure improvements and regulations,
are not enough to cope with these problems: an integrated approach,
that makes use of existing infrastructures, is needed.
Mobility Management can be seen as a complementary, cost-effective
approach to helping raise the quality of mobility-related services.
It is an innovative demand-oriented approach that establishes new
partnerships to provide quality mobility services.
MOST stands for Mobility Management Strategies for the Next Decades.
Its pilot projects in 32 European locations implemented Mobility
Management strategies both in “traditional” (companies, schools)
and new thematic sectors (tourism, events and new sites in their
planning stage). This led to improved accessibility and a change
in attitudes towards sustainable mobility.
MOST investigated various policy frameworks and implementation strategies,
and set up standardised monitoring and evaluation tools. As a result,
MOST has deepened its understanding of success and failure factors,
and showed ways of integrating Mobility Management into general
transport policy.
