In
2002 the urban Mobility Plan was approved. This plan presents all
the issues related to urban mobility, including specific mobility
plans for industrial areas and schools.
Moreover,
there have been done efforts to enhance the principles of sustainable
mobility in the new development areas of the city. For this purpose,
an own methodology has been developed that helps to investigate
on the transport demand generated in these areas.
