All in all it has taken me over eight years to finish this thesis and during the last half its completion has balanced continuously on the edge of a knife. Lamenting on the hardships of the journey has been done more than enough though, so I will not bother you with that. Especially as my curiosity for the subject at hand, which, together with the aspiration to find educated work, prompted me start this research, has never abandoned me. Individual and collective human behaviour, especially in the fields of sustainable consumption and production and everyday mobility, is simply a fascinating world to explore. It continues to be a mind-boggling puzzle to connect the obvious necessity for radical change towards sustainability at the society level with the scope of everyday life interests of citizen- consumers, especially in times of economic crisis. Hopefully, this thesis has made a worthwhile contribution. During my research I have discussed my work with many different experts working in science, policy, consultancy or business. From these experts I want to express my gratitude to Wendy Williams who selflessly ensured my way in to the private sector which resulted in two very useful case studies. Furthermore, for their contribution to my research I would like to thank Frank Versteege (marketing manager at Toyota) and Dick Bakker (commercial director at Arval) who showed me the meaning of service. Of course I also want to thank the 3Js (professors Johan Schot, Jan Rotmans, and John Grin), the three directors of the Knowledge network for System Innovations and Transitions (KSI) who made the Contrast research program possible. It has been a great honour to meet, study, learn, laugh and dance (or at least something that was aimed to look like making rhythmical movements) together. In the same light I want to thank my fellow PhD-students from the KSI mobility research group, especially Marc Dijk and Bonno Pel, who provided a safe and inspirational environment to discuss sustainable mobility transitions. My research was conducted at the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University, a place which I have always felt to have an academically stimulating and atmospherically mellow work environment. I would like to thank the many national and international PhD-students and staff members who have made it such a nice location to work. Though many people come and go, the genuine ENP feeling always remains present. Bas van Vliet, my short educational ‘career’ was mainly conducted together with you and I must say that it was very pleasant and worthwhile. Astrid Hendriksen, thank you for guiding the focus group sessions with the car salesmen and car purchasers, and if I’m not mistaken, and I rarely am, I still owe you a bottle of whisky for a bet lost long ago. In addition, at the Veluweloop you both showed me year after year that running is definitely not one of my talents. Obviously, I want to consider the other members of the Contrast research programme as well, especially Elizabeth Sargant and Lenny Putman, my fellow PhD students at ENP, who ensured that this was never a solitary enterprise. Desirée, our life and PhD trajectories were and will always be strongly entwined. Typically, you have flown of towards far- away tourist destinations while I continue to focus on daily commutes. What else can I say but that it was like passing ships in the night. 8 Consuming mobility As tradition goes, and I might be considered a traditional person, many credits go out to Corry whose collective and refreshingly down-to-earth spirit in the individualist world of academia far outweighs her secretarial and organisational skills. Thanks also go out to professor Arthur Mol, the chair of the Environmental Policy Group. I have the highest regard for his ability to perform at a world-class level both in academic publications and in academic management, and I’m sure he will turn out to be a supernatural being in disguise. Naturally, special thanks are in order for my two promotors, professor Gert Spaargaren and professor Hans Mommaas. I can easily remember the effort I had to put in understanding the theoretical debates, especially in the first and second year of my PhD research. Often after an intense discussion I walked back to my room feeling I more or less understood every theoretical line of reasoning only to sense the knowledge acquired slipping rapidly through my fingers with every step taken to my room while vigorously trying to hold on to the grains of knowledge in my hands in order not to arrive empty-handed. Luckily, these theoretical discussions have become increasingly accessible to me over the years. Though sociology will never be an easy subject for me, it has greatly improved my understanding of social life. Furthermore, I need to thank Gert for his perseverance, patience, understanding, never wavering trust in my scientific capabilities, and the occasional fatherly advice throughout the whole endeavour. Over the last four years I have been working at Rijkswaterstaat which has proven to be an interesting and enjoyable organisation to work for. I want to thank all the colleagues who ‘make’ the organisation work as it is, especially my direct colleagues of the ‘team behaviour’ whose youthful spirits and social science perspectives on traffic and mobility is very inspiring. I want to thank Marlies Emmen and Jolanda Vis for putting trust in a PhD-researcher at a time when knowledge was not unquestionably considered to be an asset at Rijkswaterstaat, Henk Pauwels and Gordon de Munck for teaching me so many things about the world of mobility management, and Loes Aarts for being the best colleague one could wish for and for continuously stimulating me to step out of my comfort zone. Special thanks are in order for those who supported me when life turned towards the inevitable less enjoyable periods which every PhD researcher is hunted by. I feel fortunate to have spent much time with my (indoor-soccer-loving) friends from Feyenesse and the Charismatische Utrechtsche Mannschaft. Furthermore, I have the pleasure to be surrounded by the smartest group of friends that I know of, though it seems we invest much effort to reveal that fact. The fun we have had in old industrial English cities, at pop- and pub-quizzes, parties and midnight gaming sessions has been simply ridiculous. More specifically I want to thank Merlijn and Hannah for their warmth, Raoel and Jan-Willem for long-lasting friendships, Vincent – Zenmaster – van der Vlies for his never-ending advice, and Vibhi van Wersch who is like a brother I never had. Naturally, I need to thank my father, who taught me to be respectful to the environment, and Corine for pushing me to continue working on my PhD. Also, I am glad that my sister and her family are here to share this moment of joy. Maartje, we are only together for a relatively short time and luckily you have been spared the bulk of the unpleasantness of being a PhD-student’s partner. Nevertheless, you understand better than all what this trajectory may take and you already know me better than I perhaps find comfortable. We are somewhere between the click of the light and the start of a dream. We don’t know where we’re going, but let’s go. Consuming mobility 9 Table of contents Preface 7 Abbreviations 13 Chapter 1.

It means ‘only visual evidence is convincing’. The essence of this idiom goes back to St. Thomas`s claim to Christ whereupon the later responded that there were those who had not seen but believed. Seen evidence however can be easily and correctly interpreted (Rohrer, 2000).

In het kader van dit streven zijn drie deelproblemen benoemd: de grote behoefte aan woningen (zowel kwantitatief, als kwalitatief) in de Noordelijke Randstad; de eenzijdige oriëntatie van de stad Almere, capaciteitsknelpunten op de weg en het spoor van en naar Almere, en een voorzieningenniveau dat achterblijft bij de omvang van de groeiende stad; het verslechterde ecologisch systeem van het Markermeer-IJmeer, met een lage kwaliteit, een geringe biodiversiteit en, mede daardoor, beperkte recreatiemogelijkheden. Rijk en regio willen deze problemen samen aanpakken. In dit kader heeft het kabinet in de RAAM- brief van november 2009 een principebesluit genomen tot een drievoudige ambitie voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de regio, als een van de belangrijke locaties om in de toekomstige woningbehoefte van de Noordelijke Randstad te voorzien. De drievoudige ambitie bestaat uit: de ontwikkeling van Almere als sociaal, economisch en ecologisch duurzame stad, die met 60.000 woningen is gegroeid; het realiseren van de bijbehorende ontsluiting; en het realiseren van een Toekomst Bestendig Ecologisch Systeem in het Markermeer-IJmeer. Het kabinet gaat een Rijksstructuurvisie opstellen voor het gebied om het rijks- en ruimtelijk beleid voor deze regio te borgen, en te zorgen voor een financieel en planologisch kader.

  • Introducing Spitsmijden – Experiments with Peak Avoidance Incentives in the Netherlands
    Introducing Spitsmijden – Experiments with peak avoidance incentives in the Netherlands Executive Summary The aim of this paper is to review peak hour avoidance incentives in the Netherlands, which are collectively referred to as the “spitsmijden” experiments. Locations of these experiments are illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: Locations of spitsmijden experiments in the Netherlands (extracted from Bliemer et al (2010)) In these experiments, financial incentives of between 2 to 7 Euros per day were offered to selected travellers if they avoided travelling at peak times. Initial results suggest the incentives have had a major effect on travel behaviour, with approximately 20‐50% of participants either changing their departure time, switching routes, or shifting to another transport mode. In addition to their effectiveness, the voluntary nature of peak avoidance incentives means they are more positively received than traditional road pricing schemes, which use negative price signals to achieve the same outcomes. Peak avoidance incentives do suffer from several drawbacks, of which the most important is the likelihood that induced demand will, in the long run, neutralise de‐congestion benefits. Peak avoidance incentives also have negative impacts on public finances – raising the question of how they are to be funded. In our opinion, peak hour incentives have extremely high potential when used to manage localised instances of non‐recurring congestion – such as that associated with road works, large events, and seasonal patterns. Lessons from the spitsmijden experiments have implications that extend beyond just road congestion. Similar, targeted incentives could, for example, be offered to encourage peak spreading from public transport users. The remainder of this article is structure as follows: First we provide a background to the concept of peak avoidance incentives; second we summarise and interpret key results from the spitsmijden experiments; and finally we identify potential issues with peak avoidance incentives.

  • Totaalplan Spoor 24 2.14 Relatie Tot De Woningbouwopgave 25
    Voorwoord De huidige klimaatmaatregelen zijn onvoldoende om de doelen van 2030 te halen laat staan een klimaatneutraal Nederland. Zeker op het gebied van mobiliteit zijn nog veel extra stappen nodig daarbij hebben we onder andere ook te maken met een stikstofcrisis en druk op de beperkte ruimte in Nederland. Een integrale aanpak van vele problemen gelijktijdig is daarbij een interessante optie. Al voor de coronacrisis waren er zorgen over het toekomstig duurzaam verdienvermogen van de Nederlandse economie wat geleid heeft tot het instellen van een nationaal groeifonds. Infrastructuur is een van de investeringsgebieden die hiervoor in aanmerking komen. In de eerste beoordelingsronde zijn voornamelijk losstaande projecten in beeld gekomen. Helaas nog geen projecten die echt zorgen voor een schaalsprong in de bereikbaarheid van vooral ook regio’s waarvan het potentieel van de economie in grote mate onderbenut is gebleven door gebrekkige bereikbaarheid. Voor toekomstige economische ontwikkeling is een samenhangend geheel van duurzame infrastructuur met goed landelijke dekking en internationale aansluiting van groot belang. Dit rapport geeft een visie op de bereikbaarheid per spoor en welke uitbreidingen nodig zijn om het spoornetwerk flink te verbeteren. Veel bestaande plannen zijn hierin verwerkt, maar ook ontbrekende schakels die nog niet of zeer weinig in beeld zijn. Daarbij wordt uitgebreid stil gestaan bij de internationale bereikbaarheid en worden ook per grensovergang de mogelijkheden besproken. Hierbij worden ook stappen benoemd die van belang zijn om te gaan onderhandelen met andere landen. Dit rapport is anders dan verruit de meeste rapporten niet opgesteld door een standaard commercieel bureau en bied daarmee een verfrissende blik op de kansen van het spoor om een mobiliteitstransitie mogelijk te maken.

These public transport projects were typically not part of an integrated planning approach, and the CBA’s examined the costs and benefits of transport project only. In particular, the role of spatial planning or spatial developments in these CBA’s was ignored or not made explicit; i.e. land use is assumed to be fixed or does not differ between project alternatives. In recent years, however, integrated spatial and transport planning is receiving more attention in Dutch national policy making. In 2007, a national policy document, Randstad Urgent, was published, aiming to improve cooperation between national and regional governments and create joint policy decision making process for different spatial projects and transport infrastructure projects that are to be realised within the same region (Ministry of Transport Public Works and Water Management, 2007). The policy document focused on 40 projects within Randstad Area; the most urbanised region in the western part of the Netherlands.
