The bill proposes a national system for more sustainable mobility

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

1. The bill would recognize sustainable mobility as a right of all citizens. Public authorities would have to make it possible through infrastructure, transportation and services, with special attention to daily travel and depopulated areas.
2. A National Sustainable Mobility System would be created to coordinate the central government, regional governments and local councils. It would include a sectoral conference, an administrative forum, a higher council, a data space and a guidance document.
3. The bill proposes a Document of Guidelines for Sustainable Mobility (DOMOSDOMOS Document of Guidelines for Sustainable Mobility: a document with common guidelines that would guide mobility planning by public authorities.) with common guidelines for all public authorities. It would be binding on the State, and the first one would be approved within 18 months of the law taking effect.
4. Municipalities with between 20,000 and 50,000 residents would have one year to approve a simplified mobility plan. Companies and public entities with more than 500 workers per site (or 250 per shift) would have 24 months to have commute mobility plans, negotiated with worker representation.
5. A state fund would be created to subsidize urban public transportation, with a uniform system for the whole country. The State's contribution would not exceed one quarter of operating costs, and user fares would have to cover at least 25%.
6. The bill proposes a controlled testing space for innovative mobility pilot projects under supervision. Participants would have to give informed consent, and the promoter would be liable for any harm they suffer.
7. A one-stop office would be created to make it easier to test automated vehicles on public roads, managed by the Directorate General for Traffic. These vehicles would also get preferential access to the controlled testing space.
8. The bill sets out a penalty regime with serious and minor offenses. Serious ones would carry fines of 2,001 to 6,000 euros and minor ones 101 to 2,000 euros.

Who it affects

• Local councils and local entities: They would have to approve sustainable mobility plans and could receive subsidies from the new state fund for urban transportation.
• Large companies and public entities: With more than 500 workers per site (or 250 per shift), they would have to draw up commute mobility plans negotiated with worker representation.
• Transport operators and infrastructure managers: They would have to provide open data on their services and infrastructure and could be fined if they fail to comply.
• The general public: A right to sustainable mobility would be recognized, with more public transportation, active mobility and accessibility.
• Mobility innovation companies: They could test their projects in the controlled testing space and use the one-stop office for automated vehicles.
