Commuter Emissions, Congestion and CO 2 Work-related commuter emissions contribute significantly to overall CO 2 emissions in the transport sector Stress, ill health and loss of productivity are directly connected with congestion Congestion is costing the UK and France respectively 1.5% and 1.3% of their GDP every year Workplace Travel Planning is an approach to change commuting and travel behaviour and raise awareness on climate change

The COMMERCE objectives Deliver a strategic approach to the promotion of a mobility plans in partner cities Increase the number and improve the quality of Mobility Plans developed by public and private organisations across Europe. Exchange of experiences and expertise between two leader cities (London and Paris) and four learner cities (Bucharest, Budapest, Kaunas and Plovdiv)

Expected Results AT THE CITY LEVEL Mobility Plan Networks developed in the four learner cities and new Mobility Plans established with local businesses Skills developed through exchange of experience and mentoring between leader and learner cities AT THE EUROPEAN LEVEL Development of a set of EU standards for Mobility Plans Establishment of a Pan European Workplace Mobility Management Award Set up of a European Platform on Workplace Mobility Plans (EPOWT)

Achivements to date 2 day Mobility Plan Training in London for New Member State partners Mobility Plan Awards, ECOMM 2008 A Mobility Plan Platform Town Centre Mobility Plan in London COMMERCE has standardised the support offered to businesses in London and Paris COMMERCE Mobility Plan Forums set up A national specification for Workplace Mobility Plan in the UK (PAS500)

Conclusions so far The gap between leader and learner city Mobility Plan progress is vast A special Mobility Plan award pushed forward the Mobility Plan agenda locally. The translation of resources and matierials is very important in order to reach out to the local level. Large businesses are generally easier to approach than smaller ones, and schools should also be considered as workplaces. 36 month Mobility Plan Programmes offers a realistic timescale from start to finish and measuring success in terms of modal shift and Co2 reudction. The skill share programme offers a good value for money approach.
