Mobility Management is the systematic approach for the development, promotion and marketing of intermodal transport solutions and for influencing traffic- generating factors. The aim is to organize passenger transport in a more sustainable manner while at the same time ensuring mobility. This can be applied to the municipal level as well as to selected target groups and geographic locations. Within the framework of (sustainable) mobility plans, regional authorities and municipalities play a key role in motivating local stakeholders to jointly develop attractive alternatives to the (sole) use of cars. 15 State-wide Network for Mobility Management Municipal Network with four Regional Coordination Offices in NRW Co-funded by the special- purpose associations responsible for public transport /regional transport associations and the Ministry of Transport North Rhine-Westphalia 16 Services offered by the Regional Coordination Offices Empowering municipalities to implement Mobility Management • Organization of information and know-how exchange • Knowledge transfer on research activities, best-practices and governmental activities • Workshops and consultancy for municipalities • Enabling a cross-sectoral dialog across municipal and institutional borders • Providing first-hand knowledge on mobility and traffic relevant developments • Training programs and qualifications for municipal authority employees • Development of joint work and action programs • Offerings for on-site implementation 17 Mobility Management in VRS Municipalities LOCAL GOVERNMENT/AUTHORITY coordinated by a mobility manager Municipal Mobility Plan/SUMP Promotion of Attractive and barrier- Public Relations, Mobility/Traffic Traffic Calming Walking and Cycling free Public Transport Campaigns/Initiatives Education Area-wide Urban Land-Use Car Sharing/ Corporate Mobility Information Packages Bauleitplanung/ Parking-Space Planning/ Mobility Hubs for New Residents Stadtentwicklung Management Management Urban Development Organizational Anchoring within the Municipal Administration Anchoring within Sectoral Plans Traffic reducing Spatial and Settlement Structures TARGET AREAS Promoting Attractive Budgetary Traffic/ Road Securing Environment Business Health Urban Pressures Safety Mobility Development Planning 18 Training Course: Empowering Municipal Employees Municipal Mobility Management: 23 Mobility Managers sucessfully trained For more info visit www.vrsinfo.de/lehrgang-mm-nrw 19 From Transport Association to Mobility Network Mobility Network Car Sharing 20 What‘s next regarding Mobility Management@VRS? • Development of a regional Mobility Plan/SUMP for the VRS-region • Further development of the NRW-wide Network for Mobility Management • Continued support/funding for the topic of Municipal Mobility Management by the Ministry of Transport in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Minister of Transport personally • 2nd Training Course in „Municipal Mobility Management“ for municipal employees will start in September 2015 • Challenge remaining: Implementing Mobility Management structures at the top of local/municipal authorities 21 22 Thank you for your attention!

  • North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
    Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

As the sum of its parts is of greater value than each individual company or institution (e.g. clusters create synergy). As Feldman [2] points out cluster formation is a process that relies on the coevolution of technology, business models and local supporting institutions. Clusters have the potential to improve competitiveness (which results in improved productivity) in three ways: (1) they improve productivity through improved access to specialized suppliers, skills and information. (2) Innovation is given more importance as the need for improvement in processes of production is highlighted and (3) once established, clusters tend to grow as a result of the creation of new firms and the entrance of new suppliers. 1 Approach and Members of HyCologne HyCologne is a regional hydrogen and fuel cell cluster in the Rhine area around Cologne.
