Boosting public mobility in Cerdanyola was highlighted as one of the main priorities by speakers invited to the Cerdanyola Empresarial Dialogues. Promoted by Cerdanyola Empresarial, the event this year focused on mobility in the area. Attending the event were Carlos Cordón, Mayor of Cerdanyola del Vallès; Pere Puig, Chairman of the Urban Planning, Infrastructures and Transport Committee of the Sabadell Chamber of Commerce; and Jordi Castells, Operations Director of Moventis and General Manager of Sarbus and Casas.
Everyone agreed on the need for a joint effort from all strategic stakeholders in the sector to improve mobility. In this regard, Jordi Castells underlined the goal to ensure harmony between new and more traditional forms of travel and, more specifically, to promote mobility in Cerdanyola through on-demand transportation. “A real solution that has shown it can triple demand when bearing in mind that only 13% of inter-municipal journeys are currently made on public transport”, said Jordi Castells.
Furthermore, the public transport infrastructures deficit in Cerdanyola is another issue to be resolved with a view to promoting better mobility. The three speakers in the debate called for construction of the Fourth Belt to reduce congestion on such roads as the B-30.
