Motto
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them."

Some qualitative assessments for most Romanian cities and towns
Present car-centric transportation system is at the same time unfair, un environmental and uneconomic
Bucharest, more than other cities, “succeeded spectacularly” in being “lost in transportation”
Blaming the infrastructure and the authorities is the “only game” we the inhabitants are playing
![Page 4: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In this context what is really the problem? First of all is a matter of thinking Further on is a problem of “mind mobility”
in approaching the “transportation mobility”
Then is a problem of mentality of changing perceptions, language and behaviors
…and, last but not least, is a problem of (re) new information, awareness and alternative actions

Company mobility plan
A Definition: A company mobility plan - also called a "green commuter plan" or "company transportation plan" - tries to bring together transport and other business issues in a co-ordinated strategy aiming at making better use of the company's resources
![Page 6: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Company mobility plan…
For home-work journeys: promote effectively the use of:
public transport collective company transport:
company bus service, park and ride, car-pooling, car sharing
walking cycling
![Page 7: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Benefits for the company: better accessibility for employees (especially
those not always having a car) better opportunities to attract appropriate
personnel reduced costs and parking problems reduced number of accidents on the journey to
work, with consequent cost and sick-leave saving
more efficient use of company vehicles creating a company culture based on co-
operation

Some Romanian data on collective transport…
Legislation A company that wants to start its
own bus service needs to comply with the professional competence and traffic security standards (transport certificate)
No legal incentives
![Page 9: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
…some Romanian data on collective transportExisting Schemes Sub-contract the service to a municipality owned
transport company buses usually extracted from the regular fleet –some
negative consequences e.g. REAL supermarket contract the service to RAT Brasov
(for staff and for clients) Sub-contract the service to a private transport firm
most frequent ex Porsche Romania
Set up a daughter firm to ensure the transport e.g. Renault-Dacia Pitesti
Buy bus(buses) and organize its own transpo

SWOT Analysis On Romanian Case (1)
Strong points New specialists in human resources Easy set up of company buses
service Existence of some positive
experiences Expertise in car sharing research
(TOSCA; MOSES projects)
![Page 11: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SWOT Analysis On Romanian Case (2)Week points No enough internal info regarding the
sustainable modes Restraint organization culture (no mobility
office, no mobility co-ordinator) No methodology in internal research (travel
survey) The car is perceived as a label of desired
democracy No endowments in companies for cyclists
(dressing room, shower)

SWOT Analysis On Romanian Case (3)
Opportunities Good public transport network Development of industrial and technologic
parks Start in understanding the importance of
PT prioritization Good networks of cycling routes
(Bucharest, Ploiesti, Sibiu) despite of the poor signaling
Development in private bus service supply
![Page 13: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SWOT Analysis On Romanian Case (4)
Threats Poor quality transport in some areas No interest for companies in Master
Plans No legal incentives No enough expertise in consultancy No awareness in NGOs
![Page 14: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An example: ARAD CITY…
representative for about 20 Romanian cities,
good and transparent statistics 1th electric tramway in Eastern
Europe and the 8th tramway in Europe
![Page 15: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
… An example: ARAD CITY
Context data: Population: 180,000 inhabitants Public transport fleet: 195 buses,
100 trams (with 2 wagons) Daily average journeys: 105,000
![Page 16: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
… An example: ARAD CITY
Collective transport dimension: 68 daily services performed by the
Municipality owned PT operator (in convention, not regular)
4 private transport firms offering transport services in convention
11 cases of company buses

Diagnosis:
We are in the phase of awareness rising need.
…but we need to do it from a new perspective…
This new perspective is best illustrated by the “New Mobility Agenda”
…and of course by this project we are in
![Page 18: Motto The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082502/55151f6d550346a80c8b61be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Some (possible) solutions…
Proposal within National Research Plan (similar to FPs) of a research project submitted by a consortium made by Commerce Chamber, Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Impact Consulting, 2-3 companies.
Awareness raising campaign: Commerce Chamber, NGOs, Employer organizations

… Some (possible) solutions
Articles in the main transport journals and magazines, using current local statistics (market, impact (benefits for business and employees, externalities reduction), cost-benefit analysis and good practice examples

… Some (possible) solutionsInvitation to representatives of some pragmatic
projects to find a scheme of know how transfer to promote the Romanian companies involvement in MM (to be decided during and after London Conference):
Research consortia.-MOST project
-other projects -Non-profit organizations Center for Positive Use -Belgium (better known
as Taxistop) other organizations
