Detailed description (English): The draft Law on climate change and energy transition, which will be debated shortly in the Spanish Parliament, reinforces, albeit briefly, the need to move towards a new mobility model that can respond to social, environmental and social challenges. In a new framework of sustainable development, it is absolutely necessary that all public administrations allocate greater investment in more sustainable means of transport and a much more efficient network of services, and in turn initiate an information and promotion campaign for public transport to recover at least the number of female and male travelers prior to the health crisis, adopting all the necessary measures to guarantee safe public transport.
Road traffic, and especially the lesser use of private cars due to confinement, have undoubtedly contributed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality in cities and also reducing the effects of noise produced by the traffic.
This reality of less air pollution and less noise pollution has taught us two things, to value and recognize the need to recover public space to make cities a place designed for people and not for cars, where facilitate active mobility by safe and non-polluting means such as journeys on foot or by bicycle, and that the levels of pollution due to greenhouse gas emissions, return to the levels prior to confinement, as the economic activity.
CCOO considers it necessary to move forward with a change in the model in commuting to work centres, which must contemplate, as a minimum, the implementation of Mobility Plans in all Ministerial Departments and General State Administration Bodies, the negotiation of conditions in the performance of telework, which would favour fewer trips, it is essential to collect in the evaluation of the risks of the job, the incidence of accidents produced in "in itinere" to achieve a reduction of them, as well as the call of the technical groups of Social Responsibility in the different Departments, that ensure more sustainable and safe models for the employees and public employees.
At CCOO we continue to bet on more sustainable modes of transport, promoting more efficient and safer mobility.
