Mobility Policy via NS Go

The travel behavior of working people in the Netherlands has changed considerably in recent years. We work more from home, travel less and work more often at locations other than the office. So people travel more flexibly and make other choices in their commutes. Organizations need to respond to this. How do you create a mobility policy that is flexible and at the same time contributes to your objectives in terms of sustainable mobility, vitality and cost savings? With NS Go you can easily automate your mobility policy and policy rules on one platform.

Six steps to an effective mobility policy

Drawing up a sustainable mobility policy is not as complicated as it sounds. It is easy to sum up in a few steps:

1. Review the current situation
2. Define clear and measurable goals
3. Develop appropriate measures
4. Bundle all goals and measures into a policy
5. Implement the policy
6. Evaluate and improve the policy

To change anything, you first need to know the current policy. How do employees travel now and who uses which options?

That way you can find out where the needs lie and what solutions you need to think about. Once you have mapped out the current situation, set clear and measurable goals. What is the motivation for your sustainable mobility policy? Think about cost savings and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Clear goals? Then think about how you can achieve them. You develop clear solutions, such as bicycle allowances and public transport passes. All the measures and allowances are combined in a mobility policy.

Now it is important to ensure that the employees of your organization support this plan. Provide clear communication to your employees, managers and other stakeholders. Only then will you achieve a smooth introduction of the new policy. Has this been successful? Then it is important to regularly check whether it really has the desired effect, or whether you need to improve something. Together with our specialists, you can easily go through these steps and arrive at a sustainable mobility policy.

Benefits of NS Go for your organization:

1. Split between commuting, private and business travel: This distinction ensures the correct settlement of expenses and allowances. It also helps you comply with CO2 reporting requirements.
2. Policy roles: With policy roles, you can distinguish the mobility options and rules of different types of employees. For example, field staff and office staff.
3. Standard policy rules: By default, NS Go checks for travel outside working hours or on weekends, to and from office locations and double declarations. In addition to these basic rules, you can choose from other commonly used policies, such as mandatory manual checks and automatic assignment to travel reasons.
4. Customized policies: Are there policies that are unique to your organization? Then we can integrate those rules into NS Go so that the platform fits your needs seamlessly.
5. Mobility budget: Give your employees a fixed monthly budget with which they can arrange their own commuting, as well as transportation to customers and relations. Or we can grant employees an additional budget with which they can pay (part of) their bicycle lease costs, for example.
6. Mobility advice: You have a regular check-in with one of our mobility experts. He or she will look at your organization's data with you and advise you on refining your policy and achieving your goals. You will also receive advice on which public transport subscription is appropriate for each employee's travel behavior.
