5.3 DESCRIPTION OF MOBILITY SERVICES AND<br />

THE EXPECTED EFFECTS<br />

Mobility management uses the concept of the six pillars, which are six different “service<br />

areas”. These are also applicable to the broader approach where <strong>SUMO</strong> can be used.<br />

These are:<br />

• information and advice<br />

• consultation<br />

• sales and booking<br />

Information and advice is the very nucleus in efforts to change attitudes and<br />

behaviour. This concerns all information about sustainable transports, including road<br />

safety.<br />

Consultation is a more extensive form of advice offered to customers. This could be<br />

direct action in public transport or advice on sustainable travel over-the-counter or at<br />

companies.<br />

Information to increase awareness, training includes all activities that make people<br />

aware of sustainable travel. These activities could be campaigns, but could also be different<br />

types of training courses, such as in the fields of road safety or eco-driving.<br />

Transport logistics and coordination is about efficient ways to organise sustainable<br />

transports. This could include coordinated goods transports and special public transport<br />

solutions such as buses to a disco, event or club activity, but also car pools and car<br />

sharing.<br />

Sales and booking could concern booking car pool members and sales of tickets to<br />

various sustainable transport services.<br />

Transport-related products and services kcould include cycle rental, cycle helmets,<br />

and other types of services.<br />

sumo – System for Evaluation of Mobility Projects<br />

Examples of a description of the organisation and instruments for<br />

the Test Traveller project<br />

The Test Traveller project is run as a subsidiary project within the Mobility Office. Several mobility<br />

advisors are used in its implementation.<br />

• information to increase awareness, training<br />

• transport logistics and coordination<br />

• transport-related products and services.<br />

Example of a description of services and their expected impact from the<br />

Test Traveller project<br />

The Test Traveller project is a combination of “information and advice”, “consultation”,<br />

“information to increase awareness and advice”, and “transport-related products and services”.<br />

Car commuters are recruited through information meetings at three major companies to test<br />

public transport for two months. These commuters will be offered detailed advice, public<br />

transport passes, etc. The expected effect is to provide a good picture of the opportunities<br />

offered by public transport and an increase in public transport use among participants. Another<br />

effect is to increase awareness in the community of the opportunities offered by public transport<br />

through media attention.
