Trade and Travel: the potential of Tradeable mobility credits as a means to manage and steer travel demand

Tradeable Mobility Credits (TMC) are a measure for managing travel demand based on a concept similar to carbon (emissions) trading. Individuals receive credits to pay for their travel needs and may buy/sell credits as they wish. In the session, participants will delve into the topic of TMC by taking part in a real-time serious game, making mode choices and trading credits according to their travel needs. This will open up discussions about individual’s travel and trading behaviour, how the interaction of individuals affect the transport system and what they bring from both a sustainability and equity perspective.
