Abstract
Universities are centers of knowledge and their Campuses are like small cities, thus making them the ideal place to develop, apply and evaluate policies and tools for innovative mobility solutions that can subsequently be extended to other contexts. A review of mobility measures in different European Universities has revealed that many of them apply policies to promote sustainable mobility, but there is a significant lack of standardized mobility plans and roadmaps for their successful implementation. The objective of the present work is to develop a successful roadmap, which is necessary for the smooth implementation of a mobility plan, as it has been found through a thorough review of good practices in Universities. Within this framework, a customizable standardized Roadmap design is proposed, which consists of two documents: a tactical document that provides a global and sequential vision of the entire plan, and an operational document that details the actions for each strategic line. This roadmap is accompanied by a catalog of objectives, measures, and cost and impact indicators. We consider this design instructive for universities because of its universal characteristics in Emerging Countries. To ensure this, it is necessary to apply this roadmap and carry out the corresponding evaluation.
Highlights
Mobility is a social need that undoubtedly has a positive effect on the life of citizens; it has several negative side effects on air quality, congestion, noise and accidents, making mobility a key priority for modern cities (European Union, 2011)
This review has shown that most university mobility plans are limited to providing mobility solutions to and from the campus, but not within the campus (Tormo Lancero et al, 2018; Papantoniou et al, 2020)
For campuses located outside urban areas, the results indicated that measures focusing on public transport and road infrastructure should be taken in order to improve campus accessibility (Deliverable 3.2.1 CAMP-sUmp Project Papantoniou et al, 2017)
Summary
Mobility is a social need that undoubtedly has a positive effect on the life of citizens; it has several negative side effects on air quality, congestion, noise and accidents, making mobility a key priority for modern cities (European Union, 2011). To achieve this goal, the participation of different actors, good intradepartmental coordination between administrations, and the development of different lines of work are important. Taking advantage of positive attitudes toward cycling and walking, reestablishing confidence in public transport and discourage the excessive use of the private car should be top priorities of authorities in the close future
