Urban mobility

The 20 factsheets in the collection « demain MON TERRITOIRE » have been designed to give candidates and elected officials practical keys to take action, to open up the field of possibilities based on the experiences of other elected officials, from small towns to conurbations, large urban areas or sparsely populated areas. In the four corners of France, both in metropolitan France and in the French Overseas Territories, many of them are taking action, together with the players in their territories, to prepare for the future by taking action to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects. With its knowledge and presence throughout the country, ADEME supports them with its tools, activities and financial aid.

Why is moving differently important?

Traffic jams, noise, pollution… Rethinking travel in urban areas is an emergency. It’s a challenge because we need to change collective and individual habits. Alternatives to the « all-car » contribute to enhancing the image of a community, saving money and improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. They must be attractive and efficient, safe and accessible to all, adapted to everyone - young or old, modest or well-off people.

How do you do it?

Active mobility, cycling or walking, is stimulated, with footpaths (benches, lighting, etc.), and cycle-friendly routes. This is complemented by other actions, such as secure bicycle parking, the installation of bollards, the organisation of repair workshops and raising awareness among young people.
For more virtuous car journeys, make way for the collaborative. Carpooling in the territory and its suburbs is encouraged by providing a local platform for inhabitants to get in touch with each other and by creating practical and well-marked carpooling areas. Car-sharing is encouraged, with the possibility of renting self-service shared cars, as well as dedicated and/or free parking spaces.
Investment is being made in cleaner public transport, with the purchase of low-emission vehicles (electric, hybrid or natural gas). Low-emission shuttles run in the city centre. Developing « high-service buses », which run on a separate lane like trams, and providing park-and-ride facilities at the ends of the line.
In the city centre, speed limits are set so as not to endanger cyclists, pedestrians and scooter riders.
A transportation-on-demand service (minibuses that take residents to areas not served by regular lines, at the time of their choice) is being introduced to complement the public transit offer.
A low-emission zone is set up to prohibit the most polluting vehicles from circulating in the city.
The most virtuous behaviours are valued (incentive reward system, promotion of initiatives, etc.).
Intermodality is encouraged to enable residents to combine several modes of travel (bicycle + train, scooter + bus…) and make the public transport offer more attractive.

The relational atlas is a semantic mapping tool. It allows to highlight the main ideas of a document and to link it to other documents dealing with related issues. These are the descriptors that are linked within the atlas and that index documentary resources (experience records, analyses, proposals...).

The "Shopping Cart" button:
You have the possibility to put aside a documentary resource by clicking on the cart next to the name of the resource. The documentary resources that have been set aside are grouped together under this button.

The "History" button keeps track of the descriptors and documents you have clicked on. You have the possibility to print your path or to empty the history with the appropriate icons.
! A descriptor you have clicked on will appear in pink on the atlas!

The "Help" button gives you access to:

the legend of the atlas: the matrix system on which the relational atlas is built: the components of the territory (number/color) and the angles of approach to governance (logo/letter) ;
a navigation guide
a video presentation of CITEGO
a video presentation of the relational atlas (philosophy & uses)
the CITEGO website

You can navigate in the atlas: Back to manual line
– By using the search bar, by proposing one or several keyword(s) and by clicking on the one that interests you. You can refine or broaden your search by clicking on "and"/"or". Manual line return
– By neighborhood, by clicking directly on the descriptors you want.

To consult the documentary resources indexed by the descriptors, click on "documents" under the chosen descriptor. These documents are the experiences, analyses, resources and proposals contained in our documentary fund:

when you click on the title of the chosen document, you access a page presenting its indexation in the atlas;
when you click on the CITEGO logo, you go directly to the reading of the document on the CITEGO website;
when you click on the basket, the document is put aside while you continue to navigate in the atlas. At any time you can consult it in the Shopping Carttab. You can also print this list of documents.

To return to the home page of the atlas, click on the title at the top left Territories, cities and governance.
