MOBIlity for nearLy-zero CO2 in medITerranean tourism destinAtionS
MOBILITAS involve 7 Med countries / 10 regions, affected by intense tourism flows with great pressure on transport infrastructure and mobility. _x000D_
These flows are concentrated during summer, but in certain areas, traffic peaks also in other months, due to fairs and congresses. _x000D_
In some cities, due to geographical and spatial premises, even daily mobility presents a challenge without including visitors’ factor. _x000D_
All areas face congestion, with negative effects in terms of air pollution, CO2 emission, noise, health, un-safety roads, and loss of cities’ attractiveness. _x000D_
To tackle this situation, MOBILITAS elaborates different SCENARIOS to enable policy makers and stakeholders better understanding effects of different choices on improving environmental quality as a whole of destination. _x000D_
Within a common transnational approach, pilot testing actions range from soft to hard measures:_x000D_
1.Sustainable tourism mobility policies: definition of political strategies & documents to reinforce existing POLICIES or start them ex-novo (e.g. elaboration of Sustainable of Urban Mobility Plans)._x000D_
2.Reduction of traffic by electrical vehicles and sharing transport solutions: re-loading electrical stations, e-cars, e-scooters & e-bikes, e-buses, etc._x000D_
3.Information Technology tools & solutions for tourists/residents (APPs, software...) to facilitate decongestion of tourist traffic. _x000D_
All activities are coherently envisaged to make coastal cities of the Mediterranean more sustainable.
