TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Mobility management outside metropolitan areas: case study evidence from North Rhine-Westphalia JO - Journal of transport geography A1 - Gronau, Werner A1 - Kagermeier, Andreas SP - 315 EP - 322 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - In recent years 'mobility management'--a means of promoting modal shift and alternatives to the journey--has gained importance in continental Europe. Especially in metropolitan areas this approach is seen as a way of improving the effectiveness of traffic system management measures. This paper outlines some key options and constraints of transferring mobility management to rural regions, drawing on evidence gathered from a research and demonstration project currently underway in rural regions of North Rhine-Westphalia. Basic conditions for implementing mobility management in rural regions as well as preliminary findings are presented.
