Overview of the airport area and public
transportation network
Objectives of the airport mobility plan
Goal: decrease the negative effects of road traffic and
ensure easy Airport access
 Noise and air pollution are exceeding the limit values
 Clogging of roads to/from the Airport
 Airport car parks are saturated : strong problem for both staff
and passengers

Mobility plan founding
Founding of the mobility measures
 Since 2004, progressive increase of the employee car park
price (current prices are well below market price in the area)
 This increase makes the car less competitive compared to
public transportation
 The money raised with the increase is used to fund the
mobility measures
Early/late shuttles network
Mobility plan: incentive measures
Public transportation (Unireso: bus - tram, coach
and train) pass subsidy for employees without car
parks (occasional car parks allowed)
 CHF 100.- (67 €) subsidy on annual bus, tram or train pass
(CHF 440.-/290 € for AIG employees)
 Bus and tram (Unireso), additional reduction CHF 120.- (80 €)
reduction due to orders centralizing
New bike parks, and an air column
 CHF 440.-/290 € ecomobility subsidy for AIG employees who bike or
walk most of time (occasional car parks allowed) to go to work
Communication campaign (mobility kit)

Evaluation
Difficulties
 Communication to all companies staff
 Working hours and work organisation complexity thorough the
companies
 Reluctance to change « old habits »
Strengths
 Good public transportation network in Geneva city and for Swiss cities
(train)
 Legal rules prevent the building of new park spaces => helps us to
convince people that there is no other way than changing one
transportation mode
 We are in charge of most of the parking in the area => we can set the
rules, and we get money to fund our actions
What did change
 Employees starts thinking about their commuting choice
 Opinion and perception on biking
Action for airlines passengers
Free ticket offered by AIG, allows to use public transport
in Geneva for a period of 80 minutes
 2 machines in the luggage collecting
area
 Increase of about 30% in 2008
compared to 2007 of unireso tickets
withdrawn from airport machines
 Costs in 2008 : CHF 320’000.(215’000 euros)
Other promoting actions for public transport
 Reduction vouchers for train tickets (CHF 10.-)
 Advertising and information about coach companies
