The issue of accessibility to mobility in Italy is at the centre of an increasingly urgent problem, as highlighted by the third edition of theOsservatorio Stili di Mobilità conducted by Ipsos and Legambiente. The current panorama shows that almost one third of the Italian population lives in mobility poverty, with limited availability of public transport and poor accessibility to proximity services. These obstacles have a significant impact on people's daily lives, forcing them to forego opportunities for work, study, medical appointments and travel for pleasure and relationships.


CORPORATE MOBILITY: A CRUCIAL SOLUTION

n this context, the importance of promoting corporate mobility as part of a broader strategy to tackle mobility poverty emerges. Corporate mobility is not limited to the workplace, but can contribute significantly to improving the quality of life of citizens by reducing private car use and promoting more sustainable alternatives.


CHALLENGES IN BIG CITIES

Naples and Rome emerge as the cities most affected by this precarious mobility situation, with 34% and 33% of citizens, respectively, often finding themselves unable to get around. However, in cities such as Milan and Bologna, where the offer of sustainable and electric mobility is higher, the level of precariousness is around 20-21%.


CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

The main causes of this mobility poverty are theabsence of alternatives to private car use, excessive distances to essential services, deficiencies in public transport and unfavourable economic conditions. Tackling these challenges requires an integrated approach involving the public sector, companies and civil society.


CORPORATE MOBILITY AS A KEY TO ACCESS

The promotion of corporate mobility can be the key to concrete solutions. Companies can play a crucial role in implementing sustainable mobility policies by offering incentives to use public transport, promoting carpooling and facilitating access to sharing services. In this context, collaboration with local institutions becomes crucial to create an integrated mobility ecosystem.

This is where MOVESION comes in with its "Mobility Budget" solution, which through its App and Desktop Mobility Company platform is able to offer corporate employees a world of business mobility services. A benefit that looks to the future and represents a valid alternative to the use of the private car and/or company car, leaving employees free to choose to use their mobility budget according to their needs, be it public transport, sharing mobility, theuse of taxis, electric mobility, cycling or carpooling.

With Mobility Budget, therefore, a company can provide a mobility budget to its employees and determine how it will be disbursed, which can be weekly, monthly or annually.


TOWARDS MORE SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

In conclusion, corporate mobility is a key element in tackling mobility poverty in Italy. The creation of partnerships between companies, institutions and communities can pave the way for innovative and sustainable solutions. By adopting policies and practices that favour corporate mobility, we can build a future in which mobility is a right that is accessible to all, while helping to reduce environmental impact and improve people's quality of life.
