Mobility Transition Strategy The Hague 2040 (2022)

Time frame of document: 2022-2040

Author: Municipality of The Hague, Mobility Devision

Main characteristics:

Four themes and corresponding strategic choices:

• 1. "the compact city"

-Prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists as well as achieving safe and slow traffic.

• 2. "mobility on a human scale"

-Putting the traveler in the center by making shared mobility, cycling and public transport more user-friendly by a target group and area-oriented approach.

• 3. "city-friendly transport"

-Address safety and waste management considerations in the creation of new and existing spaces.

• 4. "region and node development"

-Mobility hubs are the key for a mobility network.

• Implementation follows an area-based approach incl. different instruments (center environments, pre-war districts, post-war districts and regional context and mobility hubs)

Overall goals until 2040:

• Safe: Ambition of 0 traffic victims per year
• Efficient: In use of space and infrastructure
• Clean: Meets environmental and climate ambitions
• Tailor-Made: Enabling everyone to reach their destination
• Affordable: Both for travelers and government
• Connected: With the regions and other metropolitan regions at home and abroad

Policies regarding multimodality or mobility hubs:

Area-based approach:

• goal: the mobility system will be made more tailor-made

Efficient use of existing space:

• shared mobility is an instrument for making space in public areas
• logistics mobility hubs with smart digital technology for efficient goods transport
• private cars are parked preferably on private property

Accessible mobility networks:

• a suitable network for intersection level and network level
• residential and commercial development should include easily accessible parking
• realization of a hubs system for the entire region
• reinforcement for the public transport sector
• idea of neighborhood hubs
• develop a network of metropolitan bicycle routes
