What is an Inter-Company Mobility Plan? A group of actions which aim is to rationalize the everyday commutes towards business districts and industrial parks. The main purpose is to encourage employees, customers and suppliers of one company to reduce their car use and to find an alternative way for their commutes.
Inter-Company Mobility Plans in Lyon s metropolitan Area (Plans de Déplacements Inter-Entreprises) Objectives: Arise debates about daily workplace commutes in industrial sectors and business districts Share initiatives between companies of the same geographical area Encourage a change in existing mobility practices
