Mobilitetsstrategi för Kalmar kommun

The report details a co-creation process between Kalmar municipality and the Stockholm Environment Institute to align a new mobility strategy with the Agenda 2030 goals. The strategy aims for a transport mode split of 60% walking, cycling, and public transport and 40% cars by 2035. Analysis indicates strong positive impacts on public health and sustainable cities, though risks include social polarization among car-dependent groups and potential conflicts over land use for biodiversity. Key recommendations include implementing '15-minute city' planning, enhancing fossil-free maritime transport, and using life-cycle analyses in procurement.

• The mobility strategy aims to shift the transport mode distribution to 60% walking, cycling, and public transport and 40% cars by 2035.
• The strategy is expected to significantly improve public health by increasing active mobility, reducing noise and air pollution, and creating more green spaces and meeting places through car-free areas.
• The strategy is viewed as a tool for increasing social equality and gender equality by reducing car dependency and improving accessibility for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
• There is a identified risk of social polarization, particularly among citizens with high car dependency who may protest against more expensive or restricted mobility solutions.
• To maximize societal benefit, the report suggests adopting the '15-minute city' concept, where residents can meet most of their needs within a short walk or bike ride from home.
• The report emphasizes the need for sustainable maritime mobility, including fossil-free sea-based traffic and the adaptation of quays for expected sea-level rises.
• Environmental risks include potential conflicts between the need for new mobility infrastructure and the preservation of areas with high biodiversity, as well as the land requirements for expanded electricity production.
• The municipality is encouraged to use Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) in procurement to optimize the lifespan of vehicles and infrastructure and minimize the overall environmental footprint.
