Ingartek and dair successfully complete the implementation of the mobility plan for the grand départ 2023 pays basque of the tour de france
The joint venture formed by Dair and Ingartek, mobility and traffic consultants, has successfully drawn up and executed the mobility plans for the first three stages of the Tour de France that have run through the Basque Country in the Grand Départ 2023 Pays Basque as well as coordinating the participation of the agents involved in this area that form part of the Grand Départ of the Tour de France: the Basque Government, the three provincial councils and the City Councils of Bilbao, Donostia, Vitoria and Bilbao Ekintza.
Ingartek is a mobility consultancy with more than 10 years of experience in the sector and carries out mobility studies and customised mobility and traffic plans. Being in charge of organising the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in its stages in the Basque Country has been an “exciting challenge” for the mobility consultancy, since holding this event in the Basque Country has been an important opportunity to boost the internationalisation strategy of the territory. “We are proud to have successfully overcome it”, Ingartek says.
TRAFFIC PLAN, ROAD SAFETY AND GEOPOSITIONING MAP
Among the tasks of the UTE in the mobility plan, are the implementation of a Traffic Plan that includes the study of conditions, alternative routes, signposting, etc. In addition, road safety is usually very important in this type of event, so Ingartek and Dair have ensured that both cyclists, team vehicles and the public are safe to enjoy the event.
They have also carried out a study of public transport and are taking care of traffic signage, as well as parking solutions and coordination with the security forces, as road safety is usually very important in this type of event, so that cyclists, team vehicles and the public can enjoy the event.
Finally, the two companies have also determined and sized the service areas during the stages and have created a map to geo-locate the different mobility issues during the event, as well as a visualisation tool for everything related to mobility plans, road safety, etc.
