Mission Overview:

⭐️

Towards climate-neutral mobility in the city center

A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and the transport of goods. It should become easier to choose bicycles, public transport, or shared cars in our (inner) cities. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as green areas and recreation.

The city center is arranged differently (10-minute city): low car traffic, pedestrians and cyclists in the lead, and clustering of amenities.
Better utilize public transport and make it more attractive.
Promote shared mobility and connect it to public transport.
Stimulating electrification and emission-free distribution.

Description

The implementation of the Mobility Vision requires collaboration with other disciplines and partners in the fields of redesign, public space, behavior influence, regulation and enforcement, monitoring and adjustment, and financing. This necessitates a working method and organization that ensures cohesion and progress over the years to prevent the emergence of "disconnected" projects that do not complement each other. Therefore, the implementation of the vision will utilize a Multi-Year Implementation Program for Mobility Transition (MUM), which will be managed by a fixed internal coordination team. The precise description of the responsibilities of this team will be further developed immediately after the vision is finalized.

Description

A major challenge is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from mobility. Private cars are responsible for a significant portion of mobility-related greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of replacing all private vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE) with electric vehicles (EV), cities are interested in finding alternative solutions for private car ownership. Inspired by generational changes that have occurred in society, such as driving under the influence, wearing seatbelts, and smoking in public, cities want to challenge the market, stakeholders, and citizens by launching this 'Last Generation of Private Car Owners Challenge'.

There are 131 post-its that were stuck by residents on this topic during the climate conferences.

Trees and greenery instead of parking spaces

More greenery on the street, making it pleasant/fun to walk to your destination.

No cars in the city center; Roads of moss > Bare feet in the city center > Big happiness! (bike paths are made of asphalt)

Car-free within the ring (so no electric either) try a week without cars, make bicycles available around the ring.

Work locally

Place for repairing your bike

(Cycle)trucks are allowed to park in car parking spaces.

Good public transport inside and outside the city, connection with the region. So that people see public transport as an option instead of the car in case of rain.

Car-free (inner) city provides a lot of space.

Placing people at the center of the design of public space, not the car.

Space for bicycles at the expense of cars

More walking with a combination of nature and public transport.

Selling seized bicycles for little money

Stimulating remote work

Making the city center car-free

Good public transport connections

Free public transport

Goedkopere treinen en betere verbindingen naar andere EU-landen (minder vliegtuigen)

Public transport is only competitive if a car journey takes at least as long as a public transport journey.

Ensure an efficient bike network in and to the city—fewer obstacles for cyclists.

Fewer traffic lights for cyclists

Better bus network. Not just back and forth to the city.

Traffic lights green for cyclists

Making the car increasingly unattractive: among other things, longer travel times.

Making the city safer for cycling. Especially for children.

Climate Mission Helmond & Eindhoven

Eindhoven and Helmond are working together to become climate-neutral faster and smarter. So that Eindhoven and Helmond are now and in the future pleasant places to live, work and recreate. We map out which actions are needed to get there and who has what role in that.
