1 Co-ordinate and follow up mobility management activities within the company : the mobility office and the mobility co-ordinator
A company mobility plan is never finished. It has to have time to develop and the results have to be managed and adapted to new circumstances in the future, especially in times where working situations change very quickly. Therefore, it is always necessary, when starting a company mobility plan, to ensure that proper support and follow-up is provided. This might be achieved through provision of a "Mobility Office" or through the designation of a "Mobility Co-ordinator". These would manage the co-ordination and future organisation of the company's mobility plan.

5 Change existing financial mechanisms in favour of the use of sustainable (green) modes       
It should be made clear, in a very logical and understandable way, that solo car driving causes a higher cost for society, businesses and employees. Although cost aspects are not always the main reason for people to use a certain transport mode, it can be very useful to change financial mechanisms in a way that solo car use becomes a less attractive option.

6 Provide integrated information about sustainable modes      
One of the reasons why car drivers are not using sustainable (green) modes is that they don't always know alternative solutions exist, and if they do, they don't know how they work. Therefore, it is necessary that they get are made aware of possibilities of coming to work by alternative modes such as public transport, bicycle, car-pooling and walking.

Do good things and talk about it ! Furthermore, to raise acceptance for activities aimed at the employees it's recommended that members of the board be treated equal as all others.
