MoMa.BIZ

Contract N°: IEE/09/810/SI2.558287

Project Duration: 01/05/2010 – 28/02/2013

Updated on: 05/01/2012

Introduction

MoMa.BIZ is a European projectimplemented in Business andIndustrial Zones (BIZ) located insmall/medium towns of 5 Europeancountries.

The project’s duration is from MayThe project’s duration is from May2010 to February 2013, and is co-financed by the Intelligent Energy -Europe programme with a budgetof 1,2 million €.

The Aim

The main aim of MoMa.BIZ is to contribute towards the promotionand dissemination of sustainable mobility in business andindustrial zones across Europe through the creation of:

1. an innovative methodology for the development of mobility plansat BIZ;

2. Boxed Solutions : a set of guidelines, flexible and easy toadapt for the successful planning and implementation of standardmobility actions at BIZ across Europe;

3. a mobility labelling system designed for BIZ.

The Need IThe Need

• Several small and medium cities have developed in recent years BIZcontaining mainly small enterprises usually located in the outskirts orin the countryside.

• Cities have a great interest in reducing the impact of private mobility intheir territory (translated in reduction of pollution, noise, congestion,etc).etc).

• Mobility towards these areas relies mostly on private car .

• Due to the number of small enterprises, the BIZ are very muchfragmented. This hinders a collaboration between the companies forsetting a common mobility management strategy. Therefore, a needemerges in assisting small, medium and large companies forworking together towards sustainable mobility .

The Need II

• Coordinating authorities have an interest in making all of these bodieswork in synergy (area-mobility-management ) in order to reduce theimpact of mobility.

• There is a lack of mobility related policies having an impact in themid-term period (6month-2years). On the contrary, most of thepolicies adopted have very short-term impacts (i.e. car-free-Sundays)or rather long-term impacts (i.e. new infrastructures).or rather long-term impacts (i.e. new infrastructures).

The InnovationWhat makes MoMa.BIZ innovative?

The innovation in MoMa.BIZ lies in its participatory approach . Theproject aims in involving the local stakeholders (employees,companies, worker unions, local authorities, public transport operatorsetc.) of BIZs in the entire planning process of mobility plans:

• identification of the problems related to the accessibility of their BIZ;• identification and analysis of possible solutions;• identification and analysis of possible solutions;• selection of the mobility solutions to be included in the mobility plan.

The advantage of this bottom-up approach is that it guarantees theidentification and implementation of realistic and commonly agreedmobility solutions that meet the actual needs of the BIZ and aresuccessful.

Who Can Benefit

Mobility Managers of companies and industrial zones, as well asLocal Authorities can greatly benefit from the MoMa.BIZ outcomesand deliverables.

1. The methodology for the development of mobility plans will provideyou with useful information and guidance for the creation of asuccessful mobility plan .

2. The boxed solutions will provide you with a set of ready toimplement mobility solutions at your BIZ .

3. The mobility labelling system will provide clear and straightforward communication of the existing transport modesavailable for accessing your BIZ.
