It's not just Parisians who may need soft mobility to get around.
And the German Tier Mobility knows something about it.
Already present in several dozen municipalities in Île-de-France, particularly around Saclay or the Chevreuse Valley in Essonne and in Yvelines or Roissy in Val-d'Oise, it has just won two new territories .
In a few months, it will begin to deploy its scooters and electric bicycles near Grand Paris Seine-et-Oise, in Poissy and its surroundings in the Yvelines.
But also towards Marne-la-Vallée, around Bussy-Saint-Georges, Lagny and especially the tourist sites of Disneyland Paris and the neighboring Shopping Valley, in Val-d'Europe in Seine-et-Marne.
In these peri-urban areas, these new forms of mobility will mainly offer an alternative to buses, walking or driving to reach a station: "It's a practical solution to supplement the existing transport offer, in particular for daily journeys and the drawdown on the stations.
Its planned launch in six municipalities in the first half of 2023 coincides with the commissioning of new cycling facilities,” confirms Eddie Aït, vice-president delegate for mobility for the Grand Paris Seine & Oise community (78).
Rather intended for "residents, employees and visitors to the tourist sites of Disneyland Paris and or the shopping centers of Marne-la-Vallée", we add on the side of the Syndicat Intercommunal d'Etudes des Mobilités Urbaines (SIEMU) and the urban communities of Marne &
2,000 vehicles in the two new territories
Around 2,000 vehicles will be deployed in these two territories, starting in the first quarter of 2023. Vehicles spread over 250 to 300 stations.
The operator is currently fine-tuning the locations and vehicle mix with local elected officials.
The rules will be the same as in Paris.
Users will have to park the scooters in specific locations.
The machines will be limited to 25 km / h, sometimes more in certain pedestrian areas such as the surroundings of high schools or schools, parks or woods.
On the side of Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines, where it has been established since 2021, Tier Mobility has already observed more constant use than in Paris, "which typically reflects use as a means of feeder to a station" details- your.
Another lesson: 20% of the journeys made on a Tier vehicle should have been, otherwise, made in cars.
Finally, the use of these soft mobilities does not seem reserved for the youngest.
40% of journeys are made by people over 40.
The development of the RER Vélo, these continuous tracks between Paris and the Grande Couronne, should also boost the use of these forms of mobility.
