The drafting of the Mobility Master Plan of the RMB is a consequence of the National Mobility Directives (DNM), which constitute the orientative franework for the application of the Mobility Law. (art 7.1)
The ATM is responsible for the functions of regional mobility authority (Additional Provision Two), and has drafted the pdM. (pdM)

Minimum ContentsMinimum Contents
On the basis of the Mobility Law:
1. Monitoring and management of the mobility of the zone.2. Planning of inter-urban car traffic.3. Promotion of collective public transport.4. Fostering the use of bicycles and trips on foot.5. Planning and operation of the principal road network in the zone.6. Organisation of intrazonal parking.7. Transport and distribution of goods.
The pdM will also include with regard to its region:The guidelines that have to govern the urban mobility plans. The environmental targets to be reached.The monitoring indicators of the plan.

The pdM seeksThe pdM seeks::
to improve existing mobility: PT offer, non-motorised, network
greater energy efficiency: less petrol per veh-km
to respond to environmental challenges: externalities
to respond to economic challenges: competitiveness
to respond to social challenges: social exclusion

Government departments Government departments and other mobility institutions and other mobility institutions
Challenges:
As the mobility master plan establish actions for other institutions as the Catalonian government, the Barcelona regional government and more, it was necessary to hold meetings and to agree the steps for a synergic action towards sustainable mobility.
Tools:
More than 10 meetings with the participations of more than 40 people

The legal participatory processThe legal participatory process
At the end of the process and previous to the pdM approval a legal participatory process was set up:
54 institutions and people put forward more than 500 proposals , most of them were included
Four specific government commissions were consulted and they agree with the pdM proposals

35
The The pdMpdM and the day afterand the day after
Recognises that the participatory process must go on:
The mobility council as a guarantee of the participation in the future
A strategic axle, EA9, in the pdM devoted to manage in a participatory way the pdM targets and actions
A specific group to endeavour the pdM actions and to push all the others stakeholders in their own measures
The participatory process as guarantor of citizens participations
36
Core actions of the PDM

Channelled into 93 measuresAxle 9 planned to foster the participatory process
as a strategic element for achieving the objectives of the pdM
EA1: Coordinar el urbansmo con la movilidad
EA2: Fomentar una red de infraestructuras de movilidad segura y bien conectada
EA3: Gestionar la movilidad y favorecer el trasvase modal
EA5: Conseguir un transporte público de superfície accesible, eficaz y eficiente
EA6: Modernizar la actividad logística y acelerar las infraestructuas ferroviarias de mercancías
EA7: Garantizar el acceso sostenible a los centros de trabajo
EA8: Promover la eficiencia energética y el uso de los combustibles limpios
EA9: Realizar una gestión participativa de los objectivos del Plan Director de Movilidad
EA4: Mejorar la calidad del transporte ferroviario
37
ConclusionsConclusions
The Mobility is a function with a transverse nature that should be planned in agreement with all the agents affected so it is necessary to carry out a participatory process
The participatory process should be included in the Metropolitanmobility planning the moment its gestation begins.
A global participatory mobility plan it will be very difficult to carry out then It’s convenient to engage a complex participatory process that identify stakeholders, organizations, associations and interested public. The process must treat each group in its proper and specific way.
To Raise the citizen awareness of the necessity of a change in the current model of mobility is a key element to get the pdM targets so it is necessary to involved the citizens associations that are the best way to arrive to the public in general during the writing of the plan.
38
ConclusionsConclusions
The participatory process: a key element to achieve a safe and sustainable mobility pattern
The participatory process: a guarantee to achieve the objectives set out in the pdM
