Conclusions so far• The gap between leader and learner city Mobility Plan progress is vast• A special Mobility Plan award pushed forward the Mobility Plan agenda
locally.• The translation of resources and matierials is very important in order to
reach out to the local level.• Large businesses are generally easier to approach than smaller ones,
and schools should also be considered as workplaces.• 36 month Mobility Plan Programmes offers a realistic timescale from
start to finish and measuring success in terms of modal shift and Co2 reudction.
• The skill share programme offers a good value for money approach.
Objectives for today @ Warsaw• To gather together representatives of strategic transport or
planning authorities, business community, cycling action groups and academics to discuss ways to encourage travel planning in the local area.
• To identify tangible links between mobility management and current transport policies in Warsaw such a s bicycle promotional campaigns.
• To raise awareness of travel plans (mobility plans) as an effective method to tackle congestion, parking problems and environmental
