Abstract

Currently road safety, traffic congestion, acoustic and environmental pollution affecting urban areas around the world, represent the challenges to be faced for the implementation of sustainable mobility. To contrast a future increase of these issues it has been implemented the “sustainable mobility policy" in different Nations. In Italy in 1998 the Decree of the Ministry of the Environment has established the figure of Mobility Manager (MM) to implement sustainable mobility in the urban areas and in particular in companies (private and public) with more than 300 employees (or with a total of 800 workers distributed in several branch). One of the tool that can be used by MM is the “plan of employee’s movement from home to work place and return” (Piano Spostamento Casa Lavoro -PSCL). Although in 2004 the University of Foggia has appointed the MM to date no PSCL has been edited. In this context, the aim of this study is to propose a PSCL describing how the employees of University of Foggia reach the workplace and to suggest alternative sustainable transportation typologies. In particular, to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions identified to improve the mobility of workers, the carbon footprint (CF) methodology was applied. The study has been focused only on the main building of Foggia’s University (Athenaeum) that include the major part of workers. The research shows that: 1) university’s employees reach workplace principally by car (84%); 2) this transport contributes to the release of nearly 64 tons of CO2; 3) car pooling and/or public transport (urban and extra-urban) presents a sustainable solution to reduce GHG emissions; 4) if these sustainable transportations were implemented the emissions of GHG could be reduced by 56% (equal to 36 t of CO2).
