Making travel chains sustainable in the Tampere City Region
How can we boost the attractiveness of sustainable transport modes and travel chains? In the Tampere urban area, the challenge of climate-friendly transport was addressed in various ways: by improving mobility options, facilitating transfers between modes of transport, enhancing park-and-ride facilities, and encouraging residents to make changes in their daily routines.
In Nokia and Orivesi, drivers were encouraged to use public transport by promoting park-and-ride facilities and improved train connections, as well as providing residents with folding
and electric bikes. In Kangasala, bike and car park-and-ride facilities were added along bus routes, and electric bikes were offered for trial to commuters interested in cycling. In Tampere,
a new local train connection and city bikes were marketed as part of travel chains.
The City of Tampere coordinated the promotion of sustainable transport modes across eight municipalities: Tampere, Kangasala, Lempäälä, Nokia, Orivesi, Pirkkala, Vesilahti, and Ylöjärvi.
