Monitoring and Evaluating Sustainable Mobility in a Fragmented Port-City Environment: Evidence from a Maritime University
1 Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: The implementation of sustainable mobility initiatives in academic institutions plays a crucial role in shaping environmentally friendly transport behaviours and enhancing urban accessibility. This study focuses on monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of sustainable mobility measures within a university setting, examining their impact on commuting patterns and infrastructure usage. It further investigates the role of institutional collaboration in advancing innovative transport solutions and assesses the influence of newly introduced facilities and organizational strategies on mobility choices. By dissecting user feedback and mobility data, the study provides insights into the effectiveness of implemented measures and identifies key challenges and opportunities for further development and enhancing sustainable transport strategies. Despite these efforts, transport behaviours still do not fully align with sustainability goals, highlighting the need for further research and firmed actions. Nevertheless, the results of the survey conducted within this study indicate that the sustainable development policy is progressing in a positive direction, as 45% of respondents report using intermodal transport when commuting to the buildings of Gdynia Maritime University (GMU). The findings aim to support policymakers, urban planners and academic institutions in refining mobility policies and infrastructure to create a more accessible and sustainable transport environment.
