Halve travel by individual motorized transport
The City intends halve travel by individual motorized commuting and professional transport for its staff within three to five years in order to achieve zero direct emissions associated with these movements by 2030.
To achieve these objectives, the Sustainable mobility plan adopted today by the Administrative Council proposes a multimodal strategy in the long term. This plan is mainly based on a system of encouraging its staff to use the most virtuous modes of transport for the climate, for public health and for quality of life.
In this context, the City will put in place new conditions for granting parking spaces in its private car parks from March 1, 2024, in order to reserve these spaces for members of staff with reduced mobility or who work a working schedule incompatible with the public transport offer.
Public transport
Apart from these particular situations, the use of public transport always represents the best compromise when needing to travel long distances. To this end, the City has for many years been offering its employees annual TPG subscriptions at preferential rates.
The new plan will propose extending the possibility of benefiting from a preferential rate for those who would like combine several modes of travel so that they can occasionally opt for public transport, particularly in winter.
Bike
At the same time, a contribution to bicycle maintenance costs or for a self-service bicycle subscription or parking in a bicycle station will now be offered to employees. Furthermore, a contribution will be offered to those who go on foot at their place of work and whose home is located a maximum of 3 km away, thus highlighting the health benefits of this mode of travel.
Encourage teleworking
Finally, to reduce the number and distances of trips, the City will continue to encourage the flexibility of work, via teleworking and the provision of IT tools which allow remote sessions to be held.
