Mobility Management for Companies
The increase of the traffic volume is a steadily growing burden both for companies and
the environment. Although technical progress led to a reduction of some pollutants the
negative impacts on climate and quality of life are still very high.
Many companies face increasing traffic problems:
Costumers cannot find a parking space.
Costly company land is used for parking cars.
Employees arrive at work late and in a state of stress.
Delivery transport is impeded and delivery times cannot always be kept to.
Residents protest against the increasing traffic load.
New company sites and relocations require measures in transport and logistics.
New approaches for a sustainable and environmentally mobility are required.
Management of staff travel choices at company level offers the chance to force a more
environmentally friendly mobility and to use potentials of transport rationalisation.
Traffic Chaos leads to Problems for Companies and the Environment

Measures in the field of company-related mobility management allow optimisations of sites and buildings so that company land as well as vehicles can be used more
efficiently. Environmentally more sound technologies can be applied on the vehicle fleet and transportation can be rationalised.
A higher usage of environmentally friendly means of transport (walking, cycling,
public transport) leaves more free parking facilities to customers. Employees reach their workplace with less stress and accidents and are therefore fitter and
more efficient at their job.
By applying a successful mobility management companies can improve their image as environment-conscious and forward-looking business.
Finally a more environmentally sound mobility of companies makes an important
contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases and to the fulfilment of
international agreements (“goal of the Kyoto protocol”).

Based on a common initiative by the Federal Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry,
Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW) and the Austrian Chamber of
Commerce (WKÖ) the model project “Soft Mobility-Partnership“ was launched.
In the course of this two year project, the Federal Ministry for Agriculture and
Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW), together with the Federal
Office for the Environment (UBA Gmbh), the AVL List GmbH (research company,
Graz), Tulln State Hospital and the Medienhaus Vorarlberg (newspaper publisher)
applied the instruments of “managing staff travel choices at company level”
successfully.
The Federal Ministry supported the selected model establishments with expertise
and funding.

In the selected model companies and establishments a great number of measures
were implemented. They resulted in
cost savings both for the company and its employees.
rationalisation of transport and optimisations concerning company logistics and the vehicle fleet.
a reduction of the share of those driving to work by up to 15% (!).
an increase of the share of those using public transport for going to work.
an essential increase of the share of those cycling to work.
a clear reduction in CO2 by up to 30% (!).
an improvement of the company image.
a very positive assessment by the company staff.
an increased awareness of employees and the company management regarding environmental and transport problems.

... management of staff travel choices at company level is a very useful instrument
for achieving environmental goals - such as a reduction in CO2 emissions - and
economic goals - such as the rationalisation of transport - in the field of company
transport.
… it is possible to achieve a high degree of acceptance and support for the
measures and distinct changes of transport behaviour on the part of employees and
company.
… the co-operation and support of management and staff representatives, active
involvement of employees and co-operation with local authorities and transport
undertakings are essential preconditions of success.

The pilot projects supported in the course of the model project “Soft Mobility-Partnership“ have been a great success both for the companies and the
environment.
In view of the positive outcome of the pilot project “Soft Mobility-Partnership“,
mobility management for companies can be recommended for more widespread use in Austria.
The Federal Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW) and the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ), together
with WIFI Austria (Austrian Chamber of Commerce's Institute of Business
Promotion) and Kommunalkredit Austria AG (special-purpose bank) have therefore
launched a focused initiative with the aim of promoting mobility management for
companies more widely. This new support focus is part of the environmental promotion programme of the Federal Government.

Prerequisites for support:
The application has to be handed in at the Kommunalkredit Austria AG before project
start.
The total environment-related investment costs have to amount at least 10.000,-
Euro.
A transportation-/mobility concept including the measures to be supported has to be
presented. The mobility concept should cover four modules (employees, logistics,
vehicle fleet, work trips). In justified cases the focus can be laid on two of the
modules. When working on the concept the handbook on “Management of Staff
Travel Choices at Company Level” published by the Federal Ministry for Agriculture
and Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW) and the Austrian
Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ) should be used as checklist and guideline.
The sustainability of investment measures to promote public transport has to be
ensured (f.i. by lectures).
In the case that changes of the vehicle fleet, that is not property of the support
applicant, are conducted, appropriate contracts have to safeguard the permanent
ecological success.

Problem analyses, development of aims and measures and the related investments
for implementation should be imbedded in a transportation-/mobility concept. Besides being a prerequisite for support such a concept is useful for solving problems,
realising synergy effects and using potentials of transport rationalisation!
The handbook on “Management of Staff Travel Choices at Company Level –
Experiences of the Model Project Soft Mobility-Partnership” published by the Federal
Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW)
and the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ) includes a checklist and a range of
concrete tips that provide a good basis for the work on a transportation-/mobility
concept.
An example for a company-related transportation-/mobility concept can be ordered
at Kommunalkredit Austria AG and WIFI Austria. This example can be used as
guideline for the elaboration of a concept.
The transportation-/mobility concept should be set up by the company itself. It is,
however, recommended to consult qualified experts with experiences in mobility
management for companies.

The mobility concept should cover four modules (fields of action):
Module „Employees and Costumers“
Module „Logistics“,
Module „Vehicle fleet“,
Module „Work trips“
In justified cases the focus can be laid on two of the modules. One focus for small and
medium-sized businesses with only a few employees could be f.i. changeovers of the
vehicle fleet or optimisation in the field of logistics.
Companies with a small vehicle fleet but many employees or costumers might
concentrate f.i. on environmentally sound mobility of those going to work, shopping,
and doing work trips. Another possibility is to optimise delivery logistics.
Large concerns on the other hand will develop all four fields of action.
Thereby potentials for rationalisation can be used.

When working on a transportation-/mobility concept the following steps should be followed:
1. ANALYSESDescription of the problem, evaluation of the potentials for the environmental benefit
and transport rationalisation.
2. PLANNINGDescription of the aims, the fields of actions and the prioritised modules; description
of a strategy for solution and the measures planned.
3. IMPLEMENTATIONDescription of the necessary investments; the schedule for financing and
implementing; description of the steps of evaluation.
4. TECHNICAL FACTSHEET (to be completed in addition to the concept)
Description of the environmental benefit, etc.
