INTRODUCTION

Chaire Mobilité: context, organisation, general objectives


Context

5e Colloque Annuel de la Chaire Mobilité 4

2006: Québec Government = Sustainable Development Act New

management framework

Governmental strategy on sustainable development2008-2013

Strategic orientation

Action plan for sustainable

development 2009-2013 MTQ

All Ministry and organisms=action plan: objectives and actions related to

governmental objectives


development 2008-2013 AMT

Selection process + project priority vs

criteria SD, etc.


development 2007-2011 STM

More systematic evaluation of projects vs SD, better method

for GHG emission, etc.

Need for indicators and assessment tools

Sustainable development plan for the Montreal

Community 2010-2015

Indicators + formal mechanism for

monitoring of impacts, periodic report, etc..

Improve air quality and reduce GHG

emissions, reduce car dependence

27/05/2015

Mobilité

• Research Chair on the implementation of sustainability in transportation – initiated in October 2010 – 5 years mandate (last meeting of the first mandate)

• Fed by strategic issues and challenges of four institutional partners: AMT, Ville de Montréal, MTQ and STM

• Contribute to the improvement of institutional processes through analytical and methodological contributions as well as recommendations on data collection, processing, analysis and modelling (various data sources)


Objectives


MonitoringState of knowledge and

practice

Challenges and pursued contributions

• Analytical: – Better understand, describe, explain, model,

indicators

• Methodological– Analytical tools, statistical methods, functions

• Scenario formulation– What if? … Potential of walking / cycling,

mutualisation of all cars

• Implementation– Contribute to practices, feed discussions, identify

transfer and implementation mechanisms
