Availability of mobility modes

Information on the modes of transport available and facilities for switching from one mode of transport to the other are to be collected from representatives of local public transport companies, or organizing authorities in charge of transport, transport planning and parking.

• It could be possible that a (at least partial) mapping already exists at local level, so it is advisable to check the presence of data in other departments of the city/ urban area. GIS-based queries could “automatically” identify and list all possible intermodal opportunities.
• This information can be supplemented by desk research including maps, diagrams and photography (e.g. Google Maps, street view, etc.)
• Location of stops and parking facilities can be elaborated in a GIS exercise using downloadable online databases (e.g. OpenStreetMap or other mapping services). The information might need to be complemented (see previous bullet point).
• Only secured parking like “bike & ride” facilities can be considered for the calculation of this indicator, but it should be publicly accessible; simple bicycle racks closed bike boxes reserved for residents cannot be considered.
• For free floating car and bike sharing schemes, they should be counted as “modes” at an interchange when there are some specifically designed/ provided reserved parking facilities available.
• The indicator only focuses on “physical/structural” integration and doesn't take into account “soft”/ ITS integration.
