Climate-smart mobility Sample Clauses

Climate-smart mobility. More than half of the climate emissions in Umeå come from the area of travel and transport. It is therefore vital to effect change here if the climate goals are to be achieved. Through studies and test beds, Umeå Municipality has created a knowl- edge base about gender, socioeconomics, geographical differences, norms and values related to mobility. This knowledge is valuable in order to achieve permanently altered travel habits and create a sustainable mobility system throughout Umeå. Umeå Municipality has long worked for a more efficient and climate-smart mobility system. The Comprehensive Plan and its integrated transport strategy steer towards urban planning where sustainable modes of transport are prioritized. Umeå Municipality takes as its starting point six development strategies for a city that is cohesive and where the majority of growth takes place within a five-kilometre radius, and in rural locations accessible by public transport. Conditions are created for the sustainable modes of transport (bus, cycling, walking) while former motorway routes through central Umeå can be converted into city streets. A major travel habits survey of 30,000 randomly selected residents of Umeå was conducted in autumn 2022 using the digital tool TravelVu. The survey will provide fresh insight into the travel habits of the residents of Umeå and how they have changed since the previous survey in 2014. The data will be compiled and analysed so that it can be presented in an updated document in 2023 to aid decision making.‌‌ Umeå Municipality is conducting investigations and innovation projects to produce good data for making decisions ahead of upcoming investments. One important initiative is Umeå’s involvement in developing system demonstrators. Together with Uppsala, Linköping and Malmö, Umeå Municipality is working on the system demon- strator “Roadmap for mobility hubs” to produce guidance on preparing mobility hubs. Umeå is also developing its own location-based system demonstrator based in the district of Tomtebo strand as a way of enabling the sustainable and climate-neutral district to grow. Umeå’s geographical location, the export-intensive business community and ad- vanced research at the three universities are important aspects when it comes to travelling to and from the region. The Umeå region is dependent on efficient and reliable transport nationally and internationally. At the same time, Umeå has above- average consumption-based emissions from aviation for...

Climate-smart mobility. In parallel with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ new Comprehensive Plan, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ first mobility strategy is also being drawn up. The strategy is deeply rooted in the Municipality’s Transport Route Plan, which was developed in 2020 and serves as planning documentation. The Comprehensive Plan and mobility strategy are united that the overriding goal of mobility is to increase the proportion of sustainable mobility. At present, the car accounts for approximately 60% of passenger transport in the municipality, and sustainable mobility (walking, cycling and public transport) accounts for 40%. The goal for 2035 is to reverse this ratio so that sustainable modes of transport account for 60% and the car for 40%. Success here requires extensive behavioural change so that short urban car journeys in particular are significantly reduced. At present, 44% of urban car journeys are less than five kilometres. Bringing about such extensive behavioural change will require initiatives in two areas in particular. First, residents and businesses need to be made aware of where the challenges lie in mobility as it current is. This is also known as soft variables, or mobility manage-

Climate-smart mobility. ‌ More than half of the climate emissions in Umeå come from the area of travel and transport. It is therefore central to transition to achieve the climate goals. Through studies and test beds, Umeå Municipality has created a knowledge base about gender, socio-economics, geographical differences, norms and values related to mobility. This knowledge is valuable in order to achieve permanently changed travel habits and create a sustainable mobility system throughout Umeå. Umeå municipality has long worked for a more efficient and climate-smart mobility system. The overview plan and its integrated traffic strategy steer toward urban planning where sustainable modes of transport are prioritised. Umeå Municipality is based on six development strategies for a city that is cohesive and where growth takes place within a five-kilometre radius. It creates conditions for the sustainable modes of transport (bus, bicycle, pedestrian) at the same time as former motorway routes through central Umeå can be converted into city streets. The transition to climate-smart mobility can only take place in collaboration with Umeå's players and residents and is therefore a central part of Umeå's climate roadmap. Umeå Municipality continues to develop its work with climate-smart mobility based on three roles: To increase the pace of transition for sustainable travel, Umeå municipality will develop a mobility norm, a so-called green itinerary. With an understanding of power, gender and identity as a starting point, the municipality conducts service design studies on sustainable travel to male-dominated workplace areas. Umeå's geographical location, the export-intensive business community and advanced research at the three universities are important aspects when it comes to travelling to and from the region. The Umeå region is dependent on efficient and reliable transport nationally and internationally. At the same time, Umeå has higher consumption-based emissions from aviation, than a national average. This makes climate transition for aviation an important issue. Together with Swedavia, RISE and the Biofuel region, Umeå Municipality is investigating how northern Sweden can contribute to the transition of aviation, through the project Fossil-free aviation in northern Sweden, FFFLY.

Climate-smart mobility. Östersund municipality needs to create a transport structure that meets needs and also helps residents, businesses and visitors to make sustainable travel and transport choices. Transport accounts for the majority of fossil carbon emissions in Östersund, most of which come from cars. That said, Östersund faces a challenge in terms of local air quality and does not meet the limit values linked to the EU environmental quality standard for outdoor air (PM10). If we are to achieve our environmental and climate goals, we need to work on a portfolio of activities in respect of mobility, ranging from infrastructure to initiatives designed to bring about behavioural change. The comprehensive plan steers towards urban planning in which active transport and public transport are prioritised in order to achieve the goal for the modal split in the Östersund urban area (40 per cent cars, 20 per cent public transport and 40 per cent active transport by 2030). Urban planning has an important part to play in making both public transport and active transport attractive. Including walking, cycling and public transport in the planning process early on will create structural conditions for an Östersund that can grow sustainably. A mobility addendum is to be developed for the comprehensive plan. This addendum will aims to support the modal split goal on the basis of the mobility study that was conducted in 2023. All city buses will run on electricity from summer 2024 onwards, and a new route network with more frequent urban transport services will make public transport more attractive. Östersund will also work to ensure society’s transition to a fossil-free vehicle fleet by increasing capacity for refuelling and charging both light and heavy vehicles by making land, power and infrastructure available within the municipality. Additionally, in its role as a consumer, the municipality must define sustainability requirements when the internal municipal organisation procures and purchases different types of vehicles, contracts and mobility services.‌‌ At the same time, we need to work on transport efficiency and mobility management. We need to assist Östersund’s stakeholders and residents by passing on knowledge, networking and influencing behaviours in order to promote sustainable mobility. In 2024, Östersund municipality will be working actively to use dialogue with citizens as a tool to increase understanding of needs and promote behavioural change towards sustainable transport.

Climate-smart mobility. One of the key measures for achieving the goals in the Environment Programme is making travel more sustainable. Nacka Municipality’s strategy for mobility states that the Municipality shall have a traffic system in which all types of vehicle are coordi- nated in a sustainable, functioning way. One of the Municipality’s biggest mobility initiatives is the extension of the metro system to Nacka with a connecting bus termi- nal and new intersections. In view of the growing population and increased pressure on the transport system, the Municipality needs to take a concerted approach to developing both a sustainable system and efforts to change behaviour. A plan shall be drawn up in 2023 with concrete measures to promote and facilitate cycling, with the aim of 25% of work journeys being carried out entirely or partly by bike.‌‌‌

Climate-smart mobility. Making travel more sustainable is one of the key actions required to achieve the goals of the environment programme. Nacka municipality’s accessibility strategy states that the municipality has to have a traffic system where all types of vehicles are coordinated in sustainable manner that works well. One of the municipality’s biggest mobility initiatives involves the extension of the metro to Nacka, with a connecting bus terminal and new hubs. The growing population and increased pressure on the transport system mean that the municipality needs to adopt a comprehensive approach to the development of both a sustainable system and initiatives promoting behavioural change. Nacka municipality has adopted a new cycling strategy during the year with a view to gathering together the municipality’s enhanced ambitions in respect of issues related to cycling. The goals are for 20 per cent of all journeys to be made by bicycle by 2030, and for 25 per cent of work trips to be made entirely or partly by bicycle by 2030. In central Nacka, work is in progress on developing strategies linked to car parking and complementary mobility and services to assist with climate-smart travel.

Climate-smart mobility. ‌ ▇▇▇▇ has worked actively and purposefully on the issue of mobility and sustainable transport for a long time through the strategy for an environmentally adapted transport system (LundaMaTs). Furthermore, the municipal organisation's vehicle fleet has been fossil-free since 2020 and it is in Lund that the e-road of the future is being demonstrated, which enables batteries of buses and cars to be charged while travelling. Since 2020, ▇▇▇▇ has also had a new sustainable transport mode in the form of the newly opened tramway from the main railway station to the research facilities ESS and ▇▇▇ ▇▇. The tramway is an example of urban development where the university, the hospital, Ideon and ▇▇▇▇ University of Technology are connected to the new sustainable district of Brunnshög.

Climate-smart mobility. Järfälla is a pioneering municipality in smart mobility and innovation. Through a unique collaboration between the Municipality, SL, Nobina, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Barkarby Science, new technology, public transport and infrastruc- ture have been developed and integrated. Autonomous buses are on the road in Barkarbystaden and in 2020, Sweden’s first electric BRT line was launched, which is serving Akalla – Barkarbystaden until the metro is completed. In addition, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ application has been implemented in Barkarbystaden, a ▇▇▇▇ solution that gathers multiple travel options in one app. To reduce emissions from transport, the Municipality has signed up to extend the metro system to Barkarby. Rail traffic for regional trains makes Järfälla a hub and facilitates a transition of the transport system. The Municipality has also procured a logistics solution to reduce the amount of construction transport into Barkarbystaden. The logistics solution coordinates the construction transport and ensures each ve- hicle is sufficiently full, resulting in less heavy transport entering the establishment area, and lower emissions and noise. The aim is for the logistics solution to have positive impacts for residents, traders and construction operators. The Municipality is also exploring the option of broadening the logistics solution to include coordination of freight transport entering Järfälla Municipality. Within the framework of Climate Neutral Järfälla 2030, a work package is being implemented that tests a new way of conducting surveys of travel habits. Analysing mobile phone movements in the trans- port system can produce a more complete picture of the total transport movements to selected destination points. These statistics also enable changes in transport volumes, transport choices and associated emissions to be measured over time, and form the foundation for planning and implementing new mobility buildings, hubs and different public transport solutions to reduce the use of motor vehicles. Järfälla is also investigating the possibility of increasing the number of car pools by bringing together property owners and car pool companies. This mainly applies to housing associations, but also to other property owners such as Järfällahus and HSB. The aim here is to reduce the number of cars and journeys in the municipality, which helps to reduce emissions from passenger traffic. Freeing up parking spaces to make way for other, more sustainable areas, is an...
