La piétonnisation des voies sur berge à Paris, retoquée par le tribunal administratif, va pourtant dans le sens de l’histoire. Un choix nous est proposé : nous arc-bouter sur le modèle intenable du tout-voiture, ou embrasser l’avenir.

“Car nation” Germany has surprised neighbours with a radical proposal to reduce road traffic by making public transport free, as Berlin scrambles to meet EU air pollution targets and avoid big fines. The move comes just over two years after Volkswagen’s devastating “dieselgate” emissions cheating scandal unleashed a wave of anger at the auto industry, a keystone of German prosperity. “We are considering public transport free of charge in order to reduce the number of private cars,” three ministers including the environment minister, Barbara Hendricks, wrote to EU environment commissioner Karmenu Vella in the letter seen by AFP Tuesday.

European cities are stepping up their efforts on shared mobility, aiming to reduce traffic jams and pollution while generating the most profitable business in this field on the planet. In 2015, companies working on shared mobility in Europe generated around €5.1 billion. But the business could increase 20 times and reach €100 billion in 2025, according to some estimates, as more and more companies and cities are getting on board. EU officials, local cities, and companies share the excitement about the popularity and the possibilities of these solutions, which include car-pooling or bicycle sharing, but also sophisticated applications to find the quickest – and still greener – itinerary to reach your destination.

The ride-hailing app Uber has joined global public transport association UITP to help improve mobility in the cities, reduce the use of private cars and avoid congestions. The move should also help Uber shed its image of a scandal-hit digital novelty app and become a trusted partner in urban mobility.

Replacing private car traffic with new shared mobility services in urban areas dramatically reduces the number of cars needed, significantly cuts CO2 emissions and frees large swathes of public land for uses other than parking – without making it more difficult for users to get from door to door.These initial results from ground-breaking shared mobility simulations using mobility data from Lisbon (Portugal) have now been largely confirmed in a further study using data and focus group results from Helsinki (Finland).

This new tool - Moblity as a Service (MaaS) Readiness Level Indicators for local authorities – offers a new approach to understand how local authorities can speed up the process of MaaS in their local context. It can be used as a discussion tool and a check list to develop measures in the local authorities. The tool has been developed as part of the CIVITAS ECCENTRIC project and was launched at the CIVITAS Forum 2017 in Torres Vedras. Find out more in the document below.

The European Urban Knowledge Network (EUKN) organised a Policy Lab in Prague in cooperation with the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Regional Development on the theme of Urban Mobility. As one of the Coordinators of the Partnership on Urban Mobility, established in February 2017 as part of the Urban Agenda for the EU, the Czech Republic is highly committed to developing the Partnership’s Action Plan. This document will provide concrete actions and recommendations for the development of sustainable and future-proof mobility and transport policy for cities by defining room for better regulation, better funding and better knowledge exchange.

"A train ride offers time for reflecting on how the EU budget can be put to use for the common good. This blog post is the result of a small experiment whether I can write something meaningful during the 25 km commute from the small wine town Pezinok to Slovakia’s capital Bratislava. The wifi equipped train I’m using has electricity plugs and bike racks. It was financed with the help of European Structural and Investment Funds and is the kind of low-carbon, citizen-friendly transport solution that civil society groups across Europe want to see prioritised in the next EU budget."

Exit les Vélib’ et autres vélos proposés en libre-service par les municipalités, empruntés et ramenés dans des stations prévues à cet effet. Voici Pony Bike, le vélo en totale liberté, que l’on abandonne où l’on veut et que chacun peut utiliser à sa guise après avoir déverrouillé un cadenas connecté à l’aide de son smartphone. Après Oxford (UK), Angers (49) sera la première ville française à être équipée.

Selon Christian Couturier, président de l'association négaWatt, la voiture électrique ne révolutionnera pas le secteur des transports en France. En prenant en compte le cycle de vie des voitures actuelles, il plébiscite plutôt l'usage du bioGNV, une solution majeure pour envisager la mobilité de demain.
