Why a Correct and Compliant Mobility Budget is Essential for Modern Employers

Employee mobility needs are evolving rapidly. Today, companies are looking for flexible solutions: company bikes, charging stations, electric vehicles, shared mobility, and public transport subscriptions.

But one element is still too often underestimated: a correct, compliant, and legally sound mobility budget. It is crucial for employers to have a well-structured and fully compliant mobility budget. Organizations that lay the right foundations today avoid mistakes, save time, and strengthen their attractiveness as an employer.

Next Mobility, leveraging its expertise since 2019 in corporate mobility management and implementation of the Belgian federal mobility budget, collaborates with Mobility Budget Experts (MBE) – founded by Traject, Olympus Mobility (via Thierry Devresse, CEO of MMBB), and Bart Vanham, independent fleet management expert – to offer Belgian organizations a complete and strategic mobility budget solution.

Next Mobility’s unique expertise: Nicolas Verstraete, founder of Next Mobility, contributed to defining Belgian mobility policies as an advisor within the Cabinets of Mobility Ministers Georges Gilkinet and Jean-Luc Crucke, where he notably co-authored the Interfederal Vision for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and analysis notes on autonomous vehicles.

Why the Mobility Budget is Becoming Increasingly Important

A clear and properly developed mobility budget enables employers to:

  • Comply with the legal obligation planned for 2027-2028 (not 2026 as initially announced)
  • Remain compliant with constantly evolving future regulations
  • Avoid administrative risks and interpretation errors
  • Encourage sustainable choices: bike leasing, e-bikes, electric vehicles, shared mobility…
  • Define clear internal guidelines
  • Reduce costs and administrative burden

Relevance for Next Mobility’s Sector

In the field of mobility consulting and sustainable business solutions, the focus is shifting toward integrated mobility policies, where fleet management, infrastructure, and user behavior go hand in hand.

Next Mobility specializes precisely in this comprehensive approach — from mobility budgets to coaching, from charging infrastructure to tailored mobility policies.

For modern employers, this means that the mobility budget is no longer an isolated element but an integrated component of their overall mobility strategy.
