The current Home-Work/university Commute Plan_HWCP (2024 edition), approved by the Academic Senate on 22 July 2024 and by the Board of Governors on 30 July 2024, is an update, in accordance with recent legislation, of the previous HWCP 2021, with 2023 context data and transport demand analysis data from the 2022 Mobility Survey.

The document, after a brief introduction, is divided into the following sections: reference legislation, context data on mobility, analysis of the supply (with also planimetric detail) and demand for transport (results of the 2022 mobility habits questionnaire), actions to incentivize sustainable mobility, estimate of the impacts of the strategic actions envisaged by the PSCU, conclusions.

Starting from the analysis of the modal share, also taking into consideration the changes that have occurred compared to 2019 and all the results emerging from the 2022 survey, various strategic actions have been identified (some already financed, others to be financed) aimed at promoting the use of alternative transport methods to the use of private motorized vehicles, also with an effect on the reduction of CO2 emissions.

The “promotion of cycling mobility” area of ​​intervention, based on the propensity to change towards more sustainable travel methods (that emerged from the compilation of the 2022 survey), is the one for which the greatest funding was recognised, specifically aimed at increasing the number of dedicated infrastructures (the construction of 800 new bike parking spaces is expected).

The HWCP – Home-Work/university Commute Plan is the result of a participatory process whith the involvement of over 70 members of the technical-administrative staff.
It aims at reducing the use of private motorized vehicles by workers and students and has a key role in achieving the objectives concerning the goal of mobility in the 2023-2025 Politecnico Strategic Sustainability Plan.
