What Is Sustainable Mobility?
3 min read
Protecting the planet also means polluting less when traveling, by using your muscles, sharing modes of transportation and, more generally, rethinking mobility, in cities and rural areas.
What is sustainable mobility?
Sustainable mobility is also known as “eco-mobility”.
Goal #1:
Make transportation less polluting, in particular through the use of hybrid, electric and
vehicles, which would require numerous charging stations to be installed in cities and the countryside. But also thanks to new 30 km/h zones in cities and restrictions on the most polluting vehicles.
Goal #2:
Encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation in cities. Walking, by designating special pedestrian areas. Bicycles and scooters, by creating new bikes lanes or by paying a special grant to people who decide to purchase one of these two-wheelers. Not to forget the many new vehicles such as electric unicycles and hoverboards.
Goal #3:
Urge people to always travel together rather than individually. By developing new subway, bus and tram networks. By offering residents car-sharing services, where vehicles are available for successive use by different people. And by encouraging them to carpool.
Other actions can also be carried out directly by companies, such as developing delivery services using electric vehicles or bicycles to make the last mile less carbon-intensive.
Summary:
- Goal #1 of sustainable mobility: Make transportation less polluting.
- Goal #2: Encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation in cities: bikes, scooters, etc.
- Goal #3: Urge people to always travel together rather than individually.
