Most of the public space (roads, parking spaces, car parks, etc.) has been allocated to it and the other modes (walking, cycling, etc.) have been relegated to a small portion of the roadway. \n\nHowever, public/shared transportation and soft mobility represents a high potential of environmental benefits, reduction of costs, improvement of public health, improvement of traffic congestion, reduction of air pollution (particles, noise), increase of efficiency (gains of time).  For example, walking is the most widespread mode of urban transport in the world and represents the main mode used for almost a quarter of journeys of less than 80 km (forum vies mobiles 2023).\n\nBy alternative transport mode, understand transport modes that allow to shift away from the ‘vehicle system’ currently in place (we use the exact same car to go to a meeting in the city, to go to the airport, to manage small errands, to run hundreds of kilometres in harsh conditions).

It is unlikely that such behaviour will change without significant political intervention, nor will single policy instruments be sufficient to induce the needed changes. It’s necessary to work simultaneously on all levels.\n\nTransport management reference documents (policy, handbook, manual, procedures…) set the standards of what is to be implemented in your organisation.

Seeking to maintain, or better, decrease the size of your current fleet despite increase of operations in the future will strongly contribute to your emissions reduction objectives.\n\nProfiling:  Very often, the vehicle selection is driven by personal perceptions and/or experiences, rather than analysis.  It is also a result of a misconceived understanding of standardisation and trying to do a one size fit all approach. Often, contexts of operations are not considered properly in the selection process neither are real needs assessment made.  That might not only lead to overspending (by procuring vehicles that are overqualified for the planned tasks) but as well increased running and maintenance costs (unnecessary stroke power or weight of a vehicle means unnecessary fuel consumption (and consequently to co2 emissions), potentially unnecessary insurance costs (often linked to the category and engine power).
