Aim: To reduce the environmental footprints and dangers of travelling by car when commuting.
The Mobility Challenge is the chance for organisations wanting to get involved in a sustainable development initiative, to:
All public, private or community/non-profit organisations based at Sophie Antipolis, whatever their size. If an organisation has several sites, it can enter them together or separately. All employees, on temporary or permanent contracts, working during the 16 to 20 September 2024 period, can take part, as well as students studying at the academic institutions on-site.
Each organisation registers on the website, www.challenge-mobilite-sophia.fr
Participant organisations get their employees to take part using the media tools provided by the Challenge organisers that can be downloaded from the website.
During the Challenge week, each organisation can hold various activities, such as a meet-and-greet on arrival, an information booth or demonstrations,..., and encourage its employees to register on the website and declare its results.
The winners are presented with their awards at a ceremony the 4th of October 2024.
The aim is to get your staff involved. Those organisations with the highest take-up rates win (employees coming to work using alternative forms of transport/employees present on Challenge week).
In the event of a tie, modal shifts are taken into account.
This gives a chance to entrants that don't usually have many 'alternative' transport users but which manage to persuade their staff to other travel options for the event.
Several trophies are awarded to those organisations that manage to involve the highest number of employees. After the Challenge, an official awards ceremony will be held the 4th of October 2024.
The Mobility Challenge is a joint initiative by the ADEME and Sophia Club Entreprises, in conjunction with the Sophia Antipolis Urban Community Authority. It offers organisations concerned about environmental issues the chance to organise a day-long, fun challenge on the subject of mobility with their staff.
The Sophia Antipolis Mobility Challenge takes place from 16 to 20 September 2024.
To get as many staff to use an alternative to their own cars for the week.
Make sure your organisation is registered:
Each company, association or administration has a contact person tasked with distributing information and gathering the results of the week. You must then contact them to find out about how you take part in your own organisation. Most of the time, it is a manager, the HR team, QSE unit or perhaps your Mobility Plan advisor (travel plan, company and inter-company mobility plans, administrative travel plan, etc.).
If your organisation is not registered, contact the persons mentioned above. If no one wants to do it, why not do it yourself?
The Challenge is a collective one so you must encourage your colleagues at coffee-breaks, at lunch or by e-mail, etc. You can also send them a link to the www.challenge-mobilite-sophia.fr website
On Challenge days, leave your car at home and try walking, cycling, take a bus or train, or car-share. Then record your commute on the website.
This week is meant to be a fun and friendly experience, so why not talk to your Challenge contact person and organise an activity for your colleagues, such as a breakfast when people arrive or a picnic, etc.?
