Mobility to work plan
Just by seeing the traffic jams every morning you can imagine how necessary it is for cities to establish a mobility plan to work. In the following lines we explain what it is.
WHAT IS A MOBILITY TO WORK PLAN?
A mobility to work plan has to include the different measures that companies take in order to improve transport during the working day. They focus on the safety of employees and must be updated from time to time in order to be sustainable.
They cover the journeys made to and from work, but also all journeys made during the working day. It should be a document that, as we have mentioned, is constantly updated. In this way, needs can be assessed as they arise. In this way, an effective commuting plan can be provided.
In addition, as mentioned above, it should be updated through ongoing research into how the measures being taken are working. Assessing risks, accidents or who wants to participate in transport plans.
It is important to focus not only on improving occupational health, but also on making journeys sustainable and environmentally friendly. This is a responsibility that cannot be left to the various public authorities alone, but must also be taken on by companies.
WHAT IS THE LAW ON MOBILITY TO WORK?
At present, there is a draft bill, which has been approved in December and passed to the Spanish Parliament so that it can enter into force as soon as possible. It focuses on workers being able to access their jobs in a sustainable way.
Sustainability in transport includes people being able to get to work, but also to other important public services, such as education and health. Improving their overall quality of life, but also taking care of the environment.
It is also important that companies have their own mobility to work plans. Especially in the case of large companies. If they provide collective transport, the savings for their employees can be significant. The environmental footprint will also be minimised.
In addition, the different communities also have an important role to play and should take care of managing their own resources.In this way, they will make it easier for their citizens to move around in a more sustainable way. In fact, there are mobility plans for the Community of Madrid and mobility plans for Navarre.
