Detailed description (English): This cross-sectoral Alliance is formed between the municipality and private companies having offices or working sites in Szeged. The majority of trips taken in the city is work-related; employees going to work and then returning home. The aim of the Alliance is to make work-related commuting more sustainable, decrease air pollution and congestion in the city, especially during peak hours.
We established the Alliance with the participation of seven local companies and have already extended the network to nearly twenty companies.
This innovative concept was adopted from the US town of Austin and gained funding through the Urban Innovative Initiative. We hope that the measures implemented will directly help employees and citizens in their everyday commute and with the help of the initiative, we can educate people on the environmental impact of their travel choices. In the long run, we hope this initiative will cause a major shift in company culture in the city and employers will put more thought into employees’ commuting issues.
