the importance o cities as living space or people is gro-wing. More than hal o the world population today lives incities. Cities are the motor o economic and social develop-ment. They are also the places where the ecological and so-cial challenges o the 21st century are particularly accumula-

ting. Part o these challenges are the growing trac and theaccessibility o our cities.

Stuttgart has a long tradition in mobility. The city was ound-ed more than thousand years ago as a stud arm (Stuten-garten). Over 120 years ago the rst automobile worldwidewas invented in Stuttgart. Today Stuttgart is a global com-petence centre or mobility thanks to proessional schools,universities, research and development institutions which areclosely linked with many leading companies notable Daimler,Mercedes, Porsche and Bosch.

Shaping transportation and trac in our cities is an essen-tial responsibility o cities. To better cope with these tasksthe United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) set up theUrban Mobility Committee. UCLG is representing more than3 billion citizens in 170.000 local authorities rom over 130countries. I have the honour to be chairman o this Commit-tee and president o the European Section o UCLG.

Started nine years ago as an European- Latin-American URB-AL-Network, Cities or Mobility is today a global networkwith over 500 members rom 70 countries including univer-sities, companies and international organisations.

With its Agenda 21 or Urban Mobility we will contribute todeveloping sustainable mobility: Socially inclusive, environ-mentally-riendly and economy-promoting. In this endea-vour we cooperate closely with experts rom universities,research institutions, international organisations, NGOs andthe private sector.

Our network serves as platorm where local governmentscan present their good practices, problems and initiatives.The Agenda 21 or Urban Mobility describes the uture

trends, challenges and tasks in the eld o urban mobilityand presents a series o good practices rom all over theworld.

I would like to thank all our partners, members and colle-agues or the ruitul cooperation and I am looking orwardto a successul working together.

urban transportation systems particularly in many poo-4.rer countries do not yet satisy the demands on a sae,healthy, socially equitable and environmentally com-patible supply o mobility services to people and thusconstitute an obstacle to development;

the transportation systems o today, especially the5. extensive use o privately owned vehicles in most citieso the industrial countries, currently are not sustainab-le owing to their high consumption o non-renewableresources and their signicant emissions;

the gap is becoming more dicult between the increa-6.sing mobility needs o a strongly growing urban popu-lation, on the one hand, and a oreseeable scarcity andrise in price o ossil energy sources on the other;

Challenges or urban mobility

We are aware, that

8/2/2019 CFM_Agenda21[1]

The population o our cities is constantly growing both1.or demographic reasons and owing to the continuedrural exodus.

The cities are centers o economic growth and thus o2.

individual prosperity which lead to a growing dierenti-ation in liestyles and mobility requirements.

The growing individualization o urban society coupled3.with a growing number o small households leads tomore trac.

Rising land prices and rising rents in the centers o co-4.nurbations have the consequence that rents or livingspace rise disproportionately, the lower and middleclasses as well as amilies with children migrate romthe centers, and the number o commuters constantly

grows.

The cities are developing more and more into metropoli-5.tan regions within which the distances between homes,workplaces and recreational acilities increase.

An increasing geographic fexibility o employees (mo-6.dern nomadism) makes the streams o commutersgrow between cities too.

New orms o shopping by car, especially in large malls,7.

and the use o recreational acilities on the verges ocities generate new streams o trac.

Increasing e-Commerce, the use o the internet, and8.other orms o a media-based shopping culture, orexample meals on wheels, result in growing individualdelivery operations.

The just-in-time delivery o physical products and9.services results in the growing transport o goods andpeople in our cities.

Peoples increasing speed orientation leads to a high10. demand or mobility services on road and rail, on thewater and in the air.

Future trends or

urban mobility

The development o trac and mobility refectsthe social, economic and technical trends in ourcities. These are infuenced by ten mega-trends:

As the consequences o these mega-trends, ever morepeople are moving ever more and ever aster. More andmore goods are being delivered to more and more places

just-in-time.The ast growth o transport services worldwide leads tohigher consumption o resources, growing damage to theenvironment and global warming.

Political structures, legal obstacles, lack o unds, and lack oawareness in the population prevent the changes requiredto organize the growing mobility in our cities in a way whichis socially inclusive, healthy, sae, ecologically acceptable andeconomically ecient.

bjectives for urban mobility

To solve the growing problems we need a comprehensive

and integrated approach with three major goals for:

socially inclusive mobility

environmentally friendly

economy promoting mobility

The objectives are moving targets. They are depending on

different living conditions, economic possibilities and financi-

al resources. To improve the situation every city should crea-

te a master plan for mobility, integrated in the overall plan-

ning for the development of the city. To facilitate this work

we add some guidelines with measures and best practice

examples as an annex to this agenda.

Tasks or urban mobility

1. Socially inclusive mobility

Mobility is a basic condition or participating in working lie,or engaging in social, cultural and political activities, andor availing educational opportunities. Non-participation inmobility leads to social exclusion.An important part o citizens have neither access to trans-portation nor the opportunity to escape the negative eectso growing trac, above all environmental pollution andnoise.The cities want to ensure that all residents are able to sharein mobility; that includes disabled persons, parents withsmall children, the sick and elderly, and poorer people.Mobility is socially inclusive only i it does not pose a subs-

tantial danger to the health o people. Health is endangeredalso by exhaust gases and noise, which oten aect poorersections o a city. For this reason we want to minimize thethreats to the health o all people through noise reductionand air pollution control programs.Mobility causes thousands o deaths and injuries especiallychildren, old citizens, pedestrians and bikers every year. Wewant to increase the saety o transportation. This calls oreducation and training, community relations work, as wellas trac inrastructure measures in order to guarantee theprerequisites or sae local public transportation, sae pri-vate transportation, but also sae cycling and walking. This

includes protection against crime in the streets and in masstransit systems.

1.1 Enable all segments o the population to

participate in local public transportation

We want to ensure that all segments o the populationare able to participate in local public transportation andbreak down social, health-related or age-related barri-ers to urban mobility by

ensuring mobility service o the same standard in allparts o the city;assisting people whose mobility is restricted;

making ares socially acceptable and target group-oriented.

1.2 Preserve and extend public inrastructure close to

homes and jobs

We want to saeguard and extend public inrastructureespecially in order to provide public and private servicesand everyday necessities to people close to where theylive. This way we avoid not only unnecessary tracfows, but also ensure the supply o peoples needs(especially people with mobility restrictions) close tohomes and jobs by

decentralizing municipal acilities and services, oerthem locally;securing the supply o essential goods close towhere people live;extending public inrastructure towards jobs espe-cially in industrial and commercial areas.

1.3 Shape demographic change in the area

o mobility

We want to adapt urban transportation systems to theactual requirements o demographic change in ourcities. In municipalities in the industrialized countrieswe want to make allowance or the special problemso older people. In the developing countries we wantto give serious thought to the specic mobility needso the younger generation which is still going to schooland training by

extending the transport oers to all children and

young people;making allowance or the special needs o seniorcitizens.

1.4 Enhance road saety

We want to enhance the saety o road trac or bothmotorized and non-motorized road users by

enabling sae private transportation through tracguidance and control;ensuring sae cycling and walking;improving security in mass transit systems;

oering trac education rom childhood on in asystematic way.

1.5 Protect residential quarters and districts with re-

creational unctions rom noise and air pollution

We want to minimize the health hazards posed byexhaust gases and noise also in the poorer quarters ocities by

reducing air pollution by trac control measures;reducing trac noise by special regulations andcontrol measures.

2.1 Minimize trac fows through integrated urban

and trac planning

We want to integrate the central concerns o tracplanning into urban development planning in order to

avoid unnecessary trac fows in the long term by

integrating trac planning as part o city develop-ment planning;decentralizing supply acilities to become a city oshort distances;providing links to public and private service acilitiesthrough intermodal transport oers.

2.2 Encourage non-motorized and public transport

We want to speed up the shiting o trac to non-motorized and public transport in our cities to minimize

energy expenditure and the nance required or urbanmobility needs by

expanding mass transit;making public transportation more attractivethrough comort, saety and lliability;ensuring the saety o pedestrians or example bysidewalks;improving the quality o cycleways;networking the means o transportation by a betterintermodality.

2.3 Expand mobility management

We want to make better use o existing means o trans-portation by improving the eciency o the trac in-rastructure and by improving the quality o inormationor the travelers. We will achieve these by

developing area-based mobility management oreach city district;expanding integrated mobility managementthrough trac guidance and mobility centers;optimizing the management o stationary trac,particularly the parking space management.

2.4 Reduce uel consumption and emissions

We want to reduce the consumption o ossil uels andthe emission o pollutants by developing a comprehen-sive and eective set o instruments consisting o re-

strictive measures, sel-commitments, incentives as wellas technological and inrastructural measures by

promoting the increased use o alternative uelsand drive system technologies;supporting buses, trucks and cars which are uel-saving and low-emission;applying monetary measures to control the de-mand or transportation locally through systems omobility pricing.

2.5 Strengthen public awareness o sustainable

mobilityWe want to raise consciousness that the choice o trans-portation depends on the subjective view and economicpossibilities but also on inormation about environmen-tally riendly alternatives by

promoting educational schemes and inormationoers about ecological impacts o tracappreciating the environmentally riendly mobilityculture through community relations work;developing positive incentives or an environmen-tally riendly mobility culture;starting mobility education in kindergartens and

schools.

2. Environmentally-riendly mobility

The increasing mobility demands and the growing trac inour cities call or new answers, also or ecological reasons.

We want to make trac planning an integral part o urbandevelopment planning in order to create a city o shortdistances. We want to achieve an intelligent transportationmix with intermodal transport oers and make it easier tochange to mass transit and to use bicycles.

Active mobility management should help to better utilize theexisting transport capacities and avoid trac congestion.We

want to encourage environmentally riendly technologies inorder to reduce emissions and resource consumption, andwe want to strengthen public awareness o sustainable mo-bility through education and inormation.

3.1 Create attractive and ecient transportation

systems

We want to develop the urban transportation systemsurther as the central location actor or the local econo-

my so that they can contribute eciently and with long-lasting eect to a dynamic local development by

improving the accessibility o cities with dierentmeans o transportation;ensuring the good accessibility o all city districts;acilitating the accessibility o enterprise zones;optimizing goods trac within cities with a logis-tics concept.

3.2 Ensure ecient mobility or people and goods

We want to optimize our urban transportation systems

so that the mobility needed or economic activity can beeciently realized on one hand by limiting trac loadsand simultaneously enhancing the quality o our citiesas places to do business by

instituting programs to optimize the fow o tracand to avoid congestion;ensuring that places o work and training can bereached within a short time;guaranteeing adequate transport acilities and ca-pacities or reight trac;encouraging company mobility management.

3.3 Coordinate the requirements o transportation

with other orms o land use

We want to ensure that mobility-related demands onthe use o urban land are compatible with other unc-

tions o a big city in order to maintain the attractivenesso our cities by

integrating trac planning into urban planning andthe planning o enterprise land use;improving the supply and management o parkingspace or shopping acilities, public and private ser-vices and events.

3.4 Create ecient institutions or trac control

We want to improve the networking o all central publicand private institutions in the eld o trac control inorder to eectively coordinate measures towards more

ecient mobility management and reduce trac loadsby

improving the eciency o public administrativeauthorities;improving the eciency o public and private tran-sit companies;getting companies and institutions with high tracdemands better involved in trac planning andurban planning.

3. Economy-promoting mobility

Transportation is and remains the lieline o cities. Ourcities must be accessible rom the outside by road and rail,

through the air and on water. In the same way, urban dis-tricts and industrial areas within a community must be easilyaccessible. Trac congestion and the temporal unpredicta-bility are major impediments to positive economic develop-ment.

We want to ensure that trac conditions can be improvedby ecient public transport to reach the working places andby better logistics or the transport o goods. We want to

reduce the trac in our cities by installing a modern tracmanagement and by better connecting the real mobili-ty with virtual mobility through digital communication,through ecient inormation highways.

Networks within our cities

Many groups must be involved in the development o tracplans in order to bring the diverse interests o the variousurban districts into the political discussion and make the

right decisions. That includes transport companies, cyclistsclubs, schools, the police and other authorities, scientic ins-titutes in the transportation eld, and last but not least civicassociations and citizens who can be queried at local publichearings.Participatory processes thereore should precede decisionson trac planning as an element o overall urban planning.

Networks o the cities

The challenges o urban mobility are basically similar in all ci-ties. This makes the exchange o experience and Best Practi-

ce examples in networks worthwhile. The cities jointly searchor innovative solutions and at the same time orm a lobbyon the national or international level also or the purpose oobtaining more nancial resources or mobility tasks.These network unctions can be perormed on the nationallevel by associations o cities; on the international level main-ly by the UCLG through the Committee Urban Mobility.Their eorts are complemented by specialized organizationssuch as the Union Internationale des Transports Publics,(UITP, Brussels) and the global network Cities or Mobilitywith head oce in Stuttgart.

Cooperations with national andinternational partners

Cooperations with universities and scientic and researchacilities are necessary, just as cooperations with private mo-

bility companies, or the development and on-site testing onew solutions.National governments and parliaments have to be won orlegislative initiatives and the nancial support o transporta-tion projects.Cooperations with international organizations will be acili-tated by the assistance o UCLG. These organizations, parti-cularly UNEP, UN-Habitat, UNESCO, UNACLA, EU and natio-nal and international donor organizations, need the cities aspartners to implement their concrete aims and projects.

As the united voice and world advocate o democratic localsel-government, United Cities and Local Governmentsbrings together the global networks o its three oundingmembers the International Union o Local Authorities,ounded in 1913, the World Federation o United Cities,

ounded in 1957, and Metropolis, ounded in 1984. Repre-senting over hal the worlds population, the cities and as-sociation members o United Cities and Local Governmentsare present in over 130 countries across seven world regions Arica, Asia-Pacic, Europe, Eurasia, Middle East and WestAsia, Latin America and North America. Over 1000 cities aredirect members o United Cities and Local Governments, aswell as 60 national associations which represent all the citiesand local governments in a single country.

Since its creation in 2004, United Cities and Local Govern-ments (UCLG) has established itsel as the reerence World

Organization o local and regional governments and theirassociations. It has gained recognition by representing theirinterests as part o the broad international governanceagenda and uniting their voice beore the international com-munity. The international advocacy actions developed byUCLG on issues such as the Millennium Development Goals,Gender Equality, AIDS and Decentralization have resulted inbenchmarking international tools and statements on the roleto be played by local authorities in these areas. The UCLGCommittees prepare and implement policies within priori-ty areas, as dened by the Executive Bureau and the workprogramme or the current period. Each Committee canestablish one or more Working Groups.

Politics is the art o the possible. The great challengesthrough the growing mobility in our cities can only bemastered with courageous political decisions taken locally.

The goals o socially inclusive, environmentally riendly andeconomy-promoting mobility may contradict each other inpart in actual implementation. Thereore it is necessary toinclude citizen participation or setting priorities, and gainingthe support o citizens or these decisions.

The UCLG Committee Urban Mobility wants to support thisdecision making process as a platorm or exchange and asinitiator o innovative projects. At the same time the com-mittee wants to work as a lobby or cities on the nationaland international levels. Thereore it is worthwhile to partici-pate in the working process o this committee. All cities areinvited to cooperate and actively contribute to the work o

the committee.

Project CIVITAS CARAVEL in Burgos, SpainMedium-sized cities can be considered as a living laboratory toprove how innovative measures in sustainable transport policiescan achieve visible and successul results within a short period otime. With this idea in mind, the city o Burgos in Spain chose aset o demonstration areas where technology and citizens be-havior have been submitted to intensive testing to nd the rightapproach to three key points:

the recovery o public space or citizens, mainly in the citycenterthe promotion o cycling and public transport as an ecientalternative to the use o private vehiclesthe introduction o bio-uels, providing a political commitment towards a public feet in the context o acleaner and healthier mobility strategy.

These three sets o measures represent the fagship o the European project CIVITAS, All this work was recog-nized by National Government when Burgos received the Best City o the Year or Sustainable Transport andMobility Award 2007 which was widely reported in the media and placed CiViTAS in Spain as the most remar-kable and innovative project or sustainable mobility.

Worlds rst Touch and Sound Atlas o the Ile-de-France Regions public transport networksThe public transport network o Ile-de-France Region consistingo metro lines, buses and trams is one o the largest systemsin the world. With the new Touch and Sound Atlas, it enablesblind and partially sighted people to orm a mental picture o the

region and its public transport networks and prepare their travelroutes. These maps have been designed by the City on the MoveInstitute (IVM), and produced by Institute or research into theapplication o engraving (IRAG) with backing and unding romthe Ile-de-France Region and the le-de-France transport Federa-tion (STIF).The Touch and Sound Atlas includes relie and large-print mapso the regional metro, railway and tram lines; the main bus lines in Paris; and bus services to the orty regionalcentres around Paris. Recorded inormation, which describes the routes and provides tourist inormation on theareas around the main stations, are available on CD.The atlas is available in two versions: An embossed version or blind people and a large-print version or partiallysighted people. The point size o the characters varies to refect the hierarchical nature o the inormation. This

atlas makes Paris the rst big city worldwide to provide a system that enabled visually impaired persons to enjoythe mobility and access that everyone else takes or granted to Pariss great cultural sites.

Zero-are public transport in Hasselt, BelgiumHasselt (70,000 residents) is one o a small and growing numbero cities around the world providing zero-are public transport.The transport network here is mainly by bus with the bus linescovering a total o about 500,000 kilometers per year.The mobility policy in Hasselt developed into an example ocooperation between the bus line, the Flemish government andthe city o Hasselt, under the motto the city guarantees theright o mobility or everyone. Since 1 July 1997, the town buslines (called H-lijn) have been ree or everyone including tou-rists. Other bus lines are ree or the inhabitants o Hasselt whiletravelling in the territory o Hasselt.Hasselts mobility plan is not limited to ree buses there are

also ree bicycles and scooters available, and the city has made pedestrian and cycling access a priority. The pri-mary agenda was to reduce car trac and improve citizens mobility and accessibility to their city. The end resultwas not only an improvement in transportation, but an improved quality o lie, an increase o tourism, and lessneed or new auto-inrastructure.The Mobility Plan has saved the City o Hasselt millions o Euros on transportation inrastructure costs and haseliminated the expensive investments in street and parking acilities.

Decentralization in StuttgartThe Stuttgart City administration has established service centerscalled Brgerservice Stuttgart (Citizen Service Stuttgart) ineach o its 23 districts. These service centers serve as one-stop-agencies which oer more than 50 services to the localcitizens, whether it is the registration o a motor vehicle, theapplication or a passport or to the initial issuance o a drivinglicense. With the service centers near their homes and work-

places, the citizens do not need to go to the city centre to settletheir aairs, thus decreasing the trac fows in the urban areaso Stuttgart.

Access to daily needs by new orms o groceryshopsAccording to the Consumer Federation o Germany eight millionpeople are lacking access to their goods o daily needs. They areno shops in the neighbourhood that can be reached by oot orby bike. This is a problem primarily or elderly and disabled peo-ple. regarding the demographic change, this situation is increa-singly recognized as unacceptable. A main cause is the increasedconstruction o shopping centers in the outskirts o the cities.The changing shopping behaviour has a negative impact onthe smaller retailers in the neighbourhood, which have to closetheir shops due to the absence o many customers. Since 2003,the BONUS gGmbH and the parent company, SBR gGmbH have

established 10 mini-supermarkets in Stuttgart. They aim to improve the chances o socially disadvantaged youngpeople and long-term unemployed people at the labor market. In addition, the bonus-markets ulll the speci-c task to ensure the supply o the daily needs in the city districts. The establishment o these supermarkets isthereore oten supported by the local Federal Agency or Labor.

Project MOVIMAN Partnership between Stuttgart(Germany), Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) andPorto Alegre (Brazil).Environmental and mobility problems tend to be a constantcompanion in every city. A mere expansion o inrastructure whether in individual trac, public transport or non-motorizedtrac cannot solve these growing urban mobility problems.The answer to ineciency in transport is oten ound in an eec-tive mobility management, e.g. by providing inormation or theusers on adequate alternatives.The main objective o the MOVIMAN project is a new typeo cooperation between the public administration, the privatesector, the transportation companies and the road users in a

determined urban area. The aim was to achieve a more ecient, more economic and more ecologic mobilityin a specic urban area with an industrial character. The project envisioned the creation o a Mobility Manager,called the MOVIMAN, which is a manager or administrator o territorial mobility responsible or closing the com-munication gaps.Based on the users suggestions, the mobility manager makes proposals to the authorities and also generatesunderstanding o the measures implemented by the authorities among the users. In other words, the MobilityManager adopts the role o an intermediary and oers support to achieve sustainable solutions to the mobilityproblems.

Veloce System Vicenza, ItalySeveral years ago the Municipality o Vicenza has established aZTL ( limited trac) zone in order to preserve the environmentaland architectural goods o the city centre. However, this hasntchanged the congestion problems as heavy reight vehicles werestill operating during the authorised time slots.The objective o the Veloce system (Vicenza Eco-Logistic Center)is to tackle congestion in the city centre. This is achieved by alogistic system that concentrates good distribution. This opti-mizes every trip, minimising hence the environmental impact. Acompany and Logistic centers have been constituted in order to

implement the system. The Vicenza municipality owns 55% othe company. Various commercial activities o the Vicenza citycentre own the rest.The implemented system works as ollows: trucks transport their goods to a collection centre outside the citycentre. These goods are then unloaded, grouped and reloaded on electrical vehicles that deliver to the city cen-tre. The system is managed by an inormation program connected to personal digital assistants.The system showed to be very reliable: on a total amount o 23.000 deliveries carried out in 2004 and 67.000packages delivered in 2005, no damage or loss has occurred. The economic balance o the activity is also convin-cing.

Project ELCIDIS (Electric Vehicle City DistributionSystems)Most European cities are conronted with problems o the evo-lution o urban logistics, which has led to the increasing use oheavy goods vehicles in city centres, causing nuisance, pollutionand poor accessibility.

The ELCIDIS project oers a solution or urban logistics in

a dual way:

urban distribution with quiet and clean (hybrid) electricvehiclesecient routing o vehicles and the use o central distribu-tion centres.

The projects o the 6 participating cities:

Rotterdam and Stockholm: ocus on the deployment o large electric vans and hybrid electric trucks, whichwill operate rom the existing Urban Distribution Centres.La Rochelle ocuses on the development o a new, clean and ecient distribution system, which will set upspecial urban distribution companies and deploy electric vehicles with a payload o 500 kg.Stavanger, Milan and Erlangen ocus on the deployment o (hybrid) electric vehicles or in-house goodsand mail distribution or companies.

Travelways Mobility management in DublinDublin City Council required a mobility management plan orthe Mater Hospital and the Childrens University Hospital whichhave over 3000 employees. Parking and planning constraints ledthe hospitals to take a strategic approach to reducing the num-ber o single-occupant vehicles accessing the site.The mobility management plan addressed the trac and par-king impact in and around the area and placed a ceiling gureon car spaces or the new development. Parking and planning

constraints led the hospitals to take a strategic approach toreducing the number o single-occupant vehicles accessing thesite.Onsite commuter centres were established in each hospitalto manage the implementation o the travel plan and to communicate travel initiatives to sta, patients andvisitors. Over 5 years, their implementation o the travel plan will achieve a 20% reduction in cars accessing thesite, reducing congestion and parking overheads. So ar, a 16% reduction in sta travel by car was recorded asalready achieved in September 2006 and also that the project won the Irish Times Living Dublin Award in 2007or its contribution to improving quality o lie in Dublin City.

Urban develoment in Stuttgart: Compact urban green

Between 2004 and 2006, the city administration o Stuttgartdeveloped together with representatives rom industry, scienceand politics a comprehensive urban development concept or thecity. The basis o the concept is the commitment to the principle

o sustainability. Under the motto Stuttgart - compact, urban,green, all development activities undergo an impact assessmentreerring to their contribution to the environmental, social andeconomic stability o the urban area.A ocal point o the development concept is the primacy o innerurban development over urban sprawl. One o the most eectivestrategies to obtain inner development is the conversion o brownelds and suboptimally used urban areasinto integrated vital urban spaces. A typical example or the conversion o a browneld area is the district Burg-holzho in Stuttgart, which was developed on a ormer U.S. army base. The aim o the project was to create acompact city based on short distances. A lower energy and land consumption, good access to public transportand the consideration o the needs o pedestrians and cyclists are essential criteria or the planning o new urba-nizations. Almost 40 percent o the urban area o Stuttgart is now under landscape or nature protection. Based

on its Land Use Plan, the city has established guidelines, objectives and measures or the development o urbanmobility or the next twenty years.

Mobility Management Strategy Dresden, GermanyMobility management has been practised in Dresden since 1996Objectives are less car trac and car emissions by promotingalternative modes o transport and by involving great trac ge-nerators, such as local companies and institutions.With countless individual measures, such as jobtickets, the co-ordination o timetables with shit patterns, relocations o busstops, cycle parking with corresponding inrastructure, Intranet-based car-pooling schemes, and even the establishing o a mobi-lity team at the company Inneon/Qimonda, it has been possibleto record remarkable successes.At Inneon/Qimonda, or example, the proportion o employees

using private cars or their travel to work was reduced rom 68 %in 1996 to 55 % in 2005.Dresden cooperates with a lot o dierent trac generators which are willing to practise mobility managementwithout special nancial promotion rom the city administration.
