4. Conclusions

This paper aimed to expose the importance of mobility plans in regional and local policies. Being
a fundamental element to the well-being of society and its citizens, the transportation system has
cross impacts in many other sectors of society.

Simultaneously it was proposed a methodology to structure the analysis and proposals that will
serve as guide lines to the technicians as well as their own modus operandi on how to
communicate and interact with the different actors involved in setting up a mobility plan.

Those cross impacts are sometimes complex enough to be clearly perceived by the decision-
maker. Therefore an auxiliary instrument is hereby proposed to support decisions even before
plans are made.

With this methodology it is possible to help building a coherent policy with minor errors and with
larger gains regarding the investments to be made.
