Mobility Coaching for Companies in Leiedal’s “Together Smarter to Work” Project

Mobility Coaching for Companies in Leiedal’s “Together Smarter to Work” Project

We get stuck in a traffic jam en masse. Yes, also in South West Flanders. An important asset, our easy accessibility, is gradually becoming something from a not so distant past. In addition, the excess of car traffic causes poor air quality and takes up a lot of space. “Something needs to change urgently,” we shout together. “I’m tired of always being stuck in traffic.” But aren’t we partly the cause of those traffic jams when we’re in it? Who needs to change anything? Government? The employers? Those other drivers!?

Translating Shared Mobility for Rural Areas: the Rosetta Stone for Car-Sharing in Small Towns

Translating Shared Mobility for Rural Areas: the Rosetta Stone for Car-Sharing in Small Towns

Autodelen.net proudly represented the SHARE-North project at WOCOMOCO 2017 on October 18-20th in Berlin. The World Collaborative Mobility Congress, or “WOCOMOCO” is all about shared mobility, just like the SHARE-North project. In the break out session concerning shared mobility options for rural areas, it was again proven how necessary a project like SHARE-North is and what a difference it makes, because the level of knowledge for how shared mobility can work in rural areas is still quite low. SHARE-North is working on creating awareness and this is also the motivation for writing this article: to spread the word, to give tips and tricks for rural communities on implementing car-sharing and to show that shared mobility is not just a hype. It is an essential element of sustainable mobility solutions of the future!
