Abstract
European countries have had to face multiple phenomena such as climate change, urban sprawl and many more, which have consequences not only on the environment and quality of life, but on the behavior patterns of citizens. Transportation policies play a specific part in sustainable development, seeking out more environmentally-friendly solutions and smart mobility patterns.
The central assumption of the study is that if companies use more flexible mobility policies, such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and mobility budget concepts, employees will skew their mobility habits towards these alternative options. The argument is that if the MaaS, mobility budget approaches are implemented, it could result in not only positive socio-economic effects, but also environmental improvements.
A sequent assessment is used to thoroughly research the effect of mobility budget and MaaS. Firstly, the current practices in managing the monetary mobility policies world-wide and among Maastricht Bereikbaar’s partners are analyzed in order to understand if these ways of regulation are flexible for the employees. Secondly, it is discussed if accessibility and flexibility of choices could influence the mobility habits. Thirdly, I look into interconnection between flexibility and environmental components. Finally, I implement transition theory that provides key characteristics for effective sustainable development.
