Although mobility patterns have changed significantly over the last ten years with the rise of shared mobility and the emergence of carbon-free individual means of travel, the car remains by far the primary means of transportation for daily trips. In a context of ecological and climatic crisis, adapting by changing habits will help anticipate and minimize risks. In the Southern Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, transportation currently accounts for nearly 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Aware of the challenge facing us, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region has made the ecological transition one of its priorities. As part of its regional bicycle route plan, it is participating in the development of links to multimodal hubs from these routes and the creation of bicycle parking in the hubs to promote bicycle and train intermodality.
What are the levers and obstacles to the development of cycling in the Southern Region today? How can we support changes in mobility habits? What are the futures of tomorrow's train stations? How is intermodality being implemented?
Supporting changes in mobility behaviors is a crucial issue for the Southern Region, which is mobilizing its "Knowledge Factory" partnerships to better understand its inhabitants, their lifestyles and travel habits.
During this new territorial knowledge meeting, moderated by Alexandre JOUX, university professor at Aix Marseille School of Journalism, will intervene:
- Maurice OLIVE, lecturer in political science - Aix-MarseilleUniversity. He will present the study "Les associations, acteurs des politiques de mobilité vélo - Initiatives, expériences, modes d'action
- Valérie MICHON, lecturer in management science - Aix-MarseilleUniversity
- Aurélien BIGO, our main witness, researcher associated with the Energy and Prosperity Chair at the Louis-Bachelier Institute and author of a thesis on the decarbonisation of transport by 2050. He will discuss the notion of sustainable mobility and the place of soft modes of transport, particularly bicycles.
The presentations will be followed by a debate with the participants.
