“…A single intervention may be effective within a short timeframe but less so over time if not given additional attention and support. Even though the effects observed during the present study generally tended to strengthen motivation (stage progress), earlier research has shown that regressions to lower stages (less motivation to change) do occur (this being shown in Ahmed et al [20] and in Friman et al [12], in addition to being observed among some participants in this study, and even among those initially at the maintenance stage). We conclude that additional measures and interventions may be needed in practice either to sustain the new behavior or to increase the motivation to change again.…”

“…Unlike previous studies focusing on barriers or diagnosis, Ahmed et al [20] evaluated an intervention over time by means of including pre-and post-measurements. A total of 52 residents participated, with 40 being subjected to an intervention and 12 forming a control group.…”

“…A stage diagnosis measure focusing on car use intention was applied including two statements: (1) feelings about current car use and (2) intentions to replace some or all car trips with environmentally friendly alternatives. Thanks to pre-and post-measures, Ahmed et al [20] were able to report the number of participants transferring to the motivational stage due to the intervention. The findings showed that some of the participants had progressed to higher stages, with a few regressing to lower stages and some remaining at the same stage.…”

Integrating Planned Behavior and Stage-of-Change into a Cycling Campaign

A cycling campaign was assessed that used three different nudging conditions to progress people’s stage of motivation to make travel behavioral changes. The results of three waves of survey data showed that this cycling campaign generally strengthened their stage of motivation to reduce car use and that this stage-change, in turn, reduced actual car use while increasing bike use. It was observed that an improvement of cognitive psychological mechanisms was positively related to people’s motivation to change. Although the effect of the campaign was stronger just after it had ended (Wave 2), a reduction in car use, an increase in bike use, and an increase in the stage of motivation were still found three months after the campaign had ended. This is important as it shows that effects favoring sustainable travel last beyond the timeframe of the intervention. We conclude that travel interventions should aim to integrate processes that emphasize cognitive psychological mechanisms and people’s motivation to change as these drive a sustainable behavioral change.

“…Dit is een belangrijke bevinding bij het begrijpen van de uitdagingen met betrekking tot het ontwikkelen en implementeren van duurzame mobiliteit in het landelijk gebied. Daarom zal een aanpak gericht op duurzame mobiliteit, met de nadruk op het veranderen van reisgedrag voor specifieke reizigersgroepen, succesvoller zijn (Ahmed et al, 2020;Hamidi & Zhao, 2020;Zhang & Van Acker, 2017).…”

The transition to sustainable transportation is challenging for governments, transport operators and travellers (Liu, Yu, Trisha, & Beimborn, 2020). In this research, the challenges for development and implementation of sustainable mobility have been researched from a multi-actor perspective for the rural area. This thesis's overall research objective is: to identify the challenges and opportunities of the transition towards sustainable mobility in Dutch rural areas from a multi-actor perspective. The study area of this research is the Achterhoek. Multiple methods are used to conduct this research. A literature study was conducted into travel behaviour, sustainable transport, rural mobility, and multiple actors' role in the transition of sustainable mobility. Subsequently, an analysis was carried out of OViN and ODiN data (Onderzoek Verplaatsingen in Nederland, CBS) in which travel behaviour, motives and transport choices were presented. Besides, a survey was conducted among respondents living in the Achterhoek (N = 399). A policy analysis at the national, provincial, and regional level has been carried out concerning (sustainable) transport and mobility to gain insight into the government’s and transport operator's perspective. In-depth interviews were held with various actors in the area: the province, municipality, 8RHK (semi-government), entrepreneurs and transport operators.With a cooperative structure, actors aim at realising sustainable mobility. However, current policies focus on the provision of sustainable transportation instead of focusing on sustainable mobility, without a complete understanding of the needs, opportunities, and abilities of the travellers and the actors' goals. This is an important finding in understanding the challenges regarding developing and implementing sustainable mobility in rural areas. Therefore, for establishing sustainable mobility, an approach that emphasized changing travel behaviour for specific traveller groups will be more successful (Ahmed et al., 2020; Hamidi & Zhao, 2020; Zhang & Van Acker, 2017). From this research it can be concluded that the current travel behaviour of the people in the Achterhoek is not very sustainable. Dominant car use, little use of public transportation and indispensability of cars according to respondents will be a challenge for governments and operators when it comes to implementation of sustainable mobility. Travellers do not play a big role in most of the policies of governments and transport operators. However, as mobility is all about someone’s ability to travel from origin to destination with a certain travel mode, the travellers should also have a place in the whole transition towards sustainable mobility. Therefore, the biggest challenge is to change the travellers travel behaviour into sustainable travel behaviour.
