Measures implemented for SEAMLESS Shared Urban Mobility
Measures are policy actions, infrastructure changes, service rollouts, or regulatory shifts implemented by cities to impact how people move through urban spaces. Each measure falls under one of two strategic categories: push and pull measures.
You will find below the full list of measures, and the Living Labs implementing them.
🔴 Push measures
Push measures are restrictions designed to discourage private car use and reduce car dominance in urban environments.
Congestion charges
Fees imposed on vehicles entering designated city areas to reduce traffic congestion.
Parking charges
Increased parking fees to discourage long-term car use and promote modal shift.
Restricted parking
Reductions in available public parking to limit car access, especially in central zones.
Limited traffic zone/Pedestrianisation of streets
Car-free or low-emission zones that prioritize pedestrians, cyclists, and shared mobility.
Parking supply management
Policies that reduce or restructure parking supply to manage demand and encourage alternatives.
Speed limits
Lowering vehicle speed limits to improve safety and promote non-motorized travel.
🟢 Pull measures
Pull measures are incentives and improvements that make shared mobility and public transport more attractive and accessible.
Mobility hubs
Centralized locations where multiple transport modes (e.g., bikes, buses, taxis) are integrated.
Scheduling integration in MaaS services
Coordinated schedules across transport services to streamline connections.
Ticketing integration in MaaS services
Unified or digital ticketing across services to simplify travel.
Improved NSM infrastructure, e.g. bike lanes & "park & ride"
New infrastructure like bike lanes, "park & ride" stations to support non-car travel.
On demand vehicle sharing action plan
Access to shared vehicles (cars, bikes, e-scooters) on demand via apps or stations.
Nudging (gamification or rewards)
Use of rewards or games to encourage use of shared or sustainable transport.
Dynamic pricing of NSM
Flexible pricing (e.g., cheaper off-peak rides) to balance demand and promote use.
Improved information about the availability of shared modes
Real-time data on vehicle availability and travel options via digital platforms.
Introduction of new NSM services
Launch of bike-sharing, scooter-sharing, or other new transport options.
Introduction of new PT infrastructures/lines
Deployment of new public transport lines like electric buses or tram extensions.
Streets retrofitting/introduction of priority lanes
Street redesign for better walking/cycling and priority lanes for buses or shared modes.
Dedicated parking spaces for carsharing/micromobility
Reserved spaces to support the use of shared cars or micromobility vehicles.
Widening PT geographical area
Extending public transport coverage to reach underserved zones.
Central PT planning and construction program
Comprehensive public transport network planning to enhance coordination and efficiency.
