use it for the most often used activities, inducing big impact on the transport system

Lessons learned from running a large scale mobility survey, do’s don’t’s and must
do’s
 We approached the most dynamic part (age-wise) of the topical society, 30-39, 40-49 & 50-59
 We decided to approach them mainly through schools,
• We had a return rate >80% of questionnaires disseminated
• Pupils tend to be rather “persuasive” towards their parents
• Can we use this “persuasion technique”?
 There were a lot of feedback from respondents
 One of the best feedback channels by far: honest, real, direct
 Careful design, careful implementation and some training is recommended

SUMP updating process: a cultural thing
 As part of the SUMP continuous improvement process a number of initiatives have been considered.
 The main objectives include:
• Smart solutions
• Increasing the mobility of the citizens,
• Improving the safety of the pedestrians, especially the pupils, and
• Increasing the mobility satisfaction.
 These initiatives are easily understandable and implementable in other city contexts.
 The lessons learned from running a large scale mobility survey, the do’s don’t’s and must do’s will be
important lessons taken back by the city executives.
 More Sustainable Urban Moblity projects are following up
• Citymobilnet is building the capacities of municipal technicians and also politicians!
