Mobility post covid is a hot topic 🚌 🚗 🚈 🚋 🚲 🛴 🛵 🚕.

Last week both Deloitte Belgium and Arthur D. Little together with UITP published a report on the topic. Aled Walker together with Stijn Vandeweyer and Timothy Bruneel highlight in their report three pillars: 1. Increase attractiveness of alternatives to car 2. Refresh fiscal strategy to enable behavior change 3. If you drive, drive green The good news is that two-thirds are looking for a mobility budget for all (2d pillar).

"New (im)mobility: Can we avoid the private car revenge?"

Today I would like to share this interesting article from Joel Hazan, Pierre-François Marteau and Benjamin Fassenot (reference in the comments). Main elements I share: 📉 The lockdown highlights the fundamental link between mobility, socio-economic development and the environment. See for example the anti-correlation between GDP and air quality. 🏡 The promotion of immobility i.e. working from home. As we are forced to homework, we have to be creative to make this newest wa

More public transport than cars in Brussels

Acerta published his analysis on the way people #commute in #Brussels. Some conclusions (figures include #multimodal commutes): 📌 Results are different for #Brussels than the rest of the country due to his better accessibility with #publictransport 📌 45,9% of the people working in Brussels use public transport for their commute. It is more than last year and more than the one using their car which confirms the previous point. The national average is 8,3% 📌 The #bike part i

GoodMove approved for Brussels. What is it about?

The #GoodMove plan for #Brussels has been approved last week. The main target is to reduce by 24% the use of individual cars. The measures are the following (source in comments): 📍Divide the Region into some fifty mesh areas 📍Use the STOP principle (1. 🚶‍♀️ walk, 2. 🚲 bike, 3. 🚊Public transport, 4. 🚙 car) 📍Remove about 65.000 parking spots. Today cars are using about 70% of the public space needed for other means of transport 📍Improve safety with the introduction of

MaaS: THE solution?

Last week DriveNow left Brussels and this week, STIB-MIVB announces the launch of a MaaS test with 2000. When talking about mobility management, we hear a lot about #MaaS (#Mobility as a Service). The questions are : 📌 What do we need on top of the current #publictransport offer? 📌 Which kind of services? 📌 For whom? 📌 When? 📌 Why? Most of the commuters are going every day at their office (except #homeworking days). And most of them are doing every day the same commute

Mobility is the top priority for 75% of the entrepreneurs in Brussels

In the last "baromètre de l'entreprise" or "Ondernemingsbarometer" from Beci, it appears that mobility is the top priority for 75% of the entrepreneurs in Brussels (against 68% 6 months ago). It shows as well that 75% of them are ready to make the working hours more flexible to reduce traffic jams in Brussels. Now that we are on a holiday period and that the traffic jams significantly reduced, there are two sets of figures that I like to remind: 10% fewer cars on the road dur

🚘→🚆 The car was less used in Q4-2019 compared to Q3-2019 in Belgium (-12% in Brussels), mainly replaced by the train (+8% in Brussels). This is one of the conclusions of the Mobiliteits Barometer or Baromètre de la mobilité published by Vias last week. You will find some key elements in the pictures below.

TomTom published last week his yearly TomTom Traffic Index.

Congestion in Belgian cities remains high, especially on Tuesday and Thursday morning and evening. On average 23 extra minutes are needed per 30 minutes trip (i.e. +76% of total time). This correspond to 154 episodes of Game of Thrones. With this level, e-bike, speed pedelec, public transport or even homeworking or late departure can become real alternatives. Now such mobility change requires change management and testing phase. Analysing the mobility shift potential, its

Electric vehicles are coming and fleet electrification in a country like Belgium is a hot topic

The chart below from the EV Database is quite interesting. It shows the electricity consumption of most of the electric vehicles. The difference between a Hyundai Ioniq or even a Tesla Model 3 (around 15 kwh/100km) and the AUDI AG E-Tron or Jaguar iPace (around 23 kwh/100km) is more than significant. You might think that it is the same order Of magnitude than the difference in fuel consumption between « regular » car and big SUV’s. It is true. Except that for electric vehicle

2019 STIB-MIVBresults are known

As the 2019 NMBS-SNCB results in terms of passengers shared last week, the results for the STIB-MIVB are aligned: +4% compared to 2018. What is interesting to see with the STIB-MIVB is the jump in the last 10 years: +50%. This highlights the positive impact of their offering review. Good job! Now some challenges are upfront such as MaaS (Mobility as a Service), the integration with the Good Move plan, etc. We can highlight here as well that the prices of public transport in B

Testing is the best way to promote alternatives

The Mobility Passport starts today. I fully agree with Xavier Tackoen the best way to promote alternatives is to give the possibility to try them! There are different ways to give the possibility to your employees to test alternatives to go to work, the summer period could be a good period to set this up. #mobility #mobiliteitsbudget #budgetmobilite #ebikes #brussels #mobilitysolutions #maas #mobilityasaservice https://fr.metrotime.be/2019/06/05/actualite/mobility-passport-un

Cash for car vs Mobility budget

Why is the success of the "cash for car" rather limited? Because you get more with the mobility budget and it's much flexible, but not that easy to implement. #mobility #mobiliteitsbudget #budgetmobilite #ebikes#mobilitysolutions #maas https://www.tijd.be/netto/loopbaan/waarom-niemand-zijn-bedrijfswagen-inruilt-voor-cash/10129641.html

Herrmann-Debroux: soon destroyed?

Without any timing decided up to know, the Brussels government decides to destroy the Herrmann-Debroux viaduct. This goes in the same direction as the limitations set up earlier this week at the end of the E40 coming from Liège and Leuven between Evere and Reyers. It's the right timing to propose something on top or beside the company cars. Finding your way in the "mobility jungle" could be complex and time-consuming.

Bruxelles, eldorado de la mobilité ?

"Les entreprises ont rapidement embrayé à l’ère du Mobility as a Service (MaaS) en transformant l’avantage de la voiture de société en budget mobilité, en lançant de vastes programmes de mobility coaching pour apprendre la multimodalité à leurs employés mais également en modifiant les conventions collectives de travail pour tenir compte du temps de déplacement en mode partagé comme temps de travail."
