Abstract

The increasing pressure on the environment and on the current mobility infrastructure are both pressing Dutch policy makers. This research is analyzing the integration of sustainable mobility in train station hubs. Through the use of the Policy Arrangement Approach the relevant policies can be applied. This approach has been combined with another theory (Strategic Mobility Measures) that makes both theories usable for mobility measures. However, integrating sustainable mobility isn't that easy and not everywhere applied in the same amount. Not all train stations have the same amount of integration of transportation modes and focus on one mode in particular (vehicles, public transport or active mobility).In this research a comparison is made of the stations of Breukelen and Driebergen-Zeist. Breukelen has a car-centered mentality and is focussed on improving facilities for the car. Driebergen-Zeist, on the other hand, has recently been redeveloped and has shown a diversification of mobility options. The aim of this research is to describe the differences between the cases and how they have resulted in a different view of focus and necessities in and around the station.
