Some data on mobility in EU
• Communication 1998/0431 from the Commission to the Council,
the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions and the
Economic and Social Committee - Developing the citizens'
network - Why good local and regional passenger transport is
important, and how the European Commission is helping to
bring it about
– Acknowledgment of the need of good transport systems to
contribute to economical development, to employment, and to reduction
of traffic-jams and for a better environmental protection and to avoid
social exclusion.
– Description of the case of rural areas where private cars have
become necessary whereas the offer of public transport is
decreasing, limiting the access to services to the population without a
car. The EC will collect cases on specific services in rural areas.

enough
• TADOU regulation prevents from having disputes
• Linkage with other transport lines: link with bus

Good practices – work to be done
• Looking for information and analysis on:
– Alpine bus, Switzerland
– Approach to coordinate offers on neighbouring
territories, Auvergne, France
– PIMMS – Information and multi-service mediation
point

Good practice – Alpine Bus
• Association for the access by public
transport to Swiss mountain regions
• Objective: to offer common transport
where there is no public offer
• Work in touristic regions
• Local partnerships are set up, including
with local enterprises

Good practice – Coordinating transport offers
on neighbouring territories, Auvergne, France
• Beginning of a voluntary work to
coordinate the authorities in charge of
transport in the region
• Currently 13 authorities involved
• Objectives: to coordinate and to simplify
• Concrete projects: central of mobility, work
on ticketing, etc.

Good practice - PIMMS
• Information and multi-service mediation
point:
– One objective is to maintain the opening of services that
would have closed else (e.g.: PIMMS of the Canton de
Chauffailles
– Several services on the same site:
• Info on transport and selling of tickets
• Public services on employment, social issues, etc.
• Water and electricity services
• Support for using IT, for managing family budget, paying
taxes, …
