What’s new and what needs do the project cover
The uniqueness of the project is the focus on what measures the business themselves can do to better the flow of traffic in their neighbourhoods. The measures will be based on companies’ individual needs and adapted to the employees actual situation.
The project will identify drivers and barriers to change employees behaviour and find alternative effective solutions that are easy to implement in order to reduce traffic at Fornebu.
The project will involve both the supply side (solution providers) and demand side (companies and their employees), and the analysis will record a wide range of alternatives to the use of vehicles suited to the actual needs.
