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.
