Targeting a sustainable campus in both form and content! This is UNamur's determination through its UNIVERS 2025 strategic plan. The PDE is the first milestone on the road to more sustainable mobility. It's a vast project that concerns us all, and one that requires your collaboration to ensure its success!
A mobility study had already been carried out internally in 2017, leading to an ambitious action plan. Five years later, UNamur has called on Traject, a specialized consultancy, whose mission is not only to propose new actions based on an in-depth study of our mobility, the context of our institution and the new environmental challenges, but also to support us in their implementation over three years.
How the Company Travel Plan works
Who is TRAJECT?
Traject specializes in mobility and particularly in "change management". They have been accompanying behavioral change in the field of mobility for almost 30 years.
In all the projects they carry out, they apply these three elements:
- Tailor-made: every structure is different and has its own constraints. No action can be replicated as is. These specificities must be identified if the project is to bear fruit.
- The project must be driven both by the consultancy firm and, above all, by the working group. The project must be co-constructed and shared. This will ensure its continuity.
- The active participation of staff, the most transparent communication possible and raising awareness of the issue will result in a high level of support for the project and consequent behavioral change.
What is the design office's mission?
The aim is to support UNamur in the construction of its travel plan, in the identification and implementation of mobility measures specific and targeted to the profile of the University and its employees in order to encourage them to carry out their travel in a more sustainable way.
This plan is now finalized and includes:
- a diagnosis, a mobility profile and a SWOT analysis of the current situation;
- a survey of all staff to identify and understand mobility practices and needs at the University;
- an action plan and evaluation criteria.
The aim is to move up a gear to offer ever more alternatives to the car, make traffic around the campus more fluid and reduce its carbon impact.
