Permanent measures Permanent measures

Biella implements one or more new permanent measure(s), which contribute(s) to modal transfer from private car to environmentally sound means of transport.

Public transport services
Improvement and extension of the public transport network (creation of HOV lanes for public transport modes, new stops, new lines, reserved areas etc)
Mobility management
Create/establish mobility centers and on-line information services (eg travel planner)
Launch of awareness-raising campaigns

Further info
Our permanent measures include the recently established Mobility Centre and InfoPoint at the town of Biella. The European Mobility Week will be a great opportunity to promote the services already provided.

A new high mobility bus line that connects the access points and strategic places of the town will start operating the same week as the Mobility Week. It is believed that this line will convince many local people to leave their cars at home and use the local transport instead.
