‘Everyone is a mobilist; mobility is a basic need. I believe we should encourage people to be active, so a healthy lifestyle is part of our daily routine. Within the whole mobility system, we must remember that everyone has the right to come home!’
‘North American cities are building momentum to address mobility challenges. But there is so much left to do! I’m excited to support cities in Canada and the United States using practical and innovative ideas from the Netherlands to create local solutions.’
“Transport is not an end in itself but a key enabler to live, work, participate and thrive. In most parts of the world the potential of active travel is yet to be elevated. I am committed to help cities in Germany and abroad to connect with the Dutch experience and reflect on overarching goals and local necessities.”
‘Planning, promotion and education for cycling are great tools that contribute to making places thrive, people participate and be healthy, as well as to the quality of the living environment.’
‘Keep learning, stay open-minded, and every journey offers something new. Sometimes, stepping back is the key to moving forward.’
“Supporting the decarbonised mobility transition, via for example the design of people-oriented walking and cycling infrastructures sounds for me like a very tangible and motivating mission!”
‘At a time when cities around the world are reclaiming public space away from cars and towards people faster than ever, I have a newfound determination to create and help enable change. I am excited to help bring Dutch expertise and experiences to the rest of the world, in hopes that we can transition to a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.’
“The dynamics of cities are revealed through the daily movements of individuals. I am excited to support North American cities in developing public spaces and streets that are vibrant, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Inspired by the best practices in the Netherlands, let’s make cycling and walking the most convenient options!”
‘Sustainable mobility for all – that’s what matters for me. The base for this is the combination and integration of the sub-systems walking, cycling and public transport in one sustainable mobility system. This is also crucial for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.’
‘The hard work and the resources dedicated to making claims for space in a city are a reflection of their true priorities. I want these claims to become more equitable, so that motorists must work as hard to retain parking space as cyclists and pedestrians have to work to gain safe space.’
“We need to transform our cities into attractive, climate-neutral, and social urban spaces. Active mobility, public transport, and short traveling distances are key. I would like to conduct practice- and impact-oriented research, whereby we do not reinvent the wheel, but learn from each other and exchange knowledge and experiences between countries and regions.”
‘Good graphic design tells a story. It corresponds to the purpose and idea behind a product. In my work, I always seek the perfect mix of creativity and functionality. Great design speaks for itself.’
“I’m passionate about making cities more liveable by shifting the focus from cars to people. It’s important to consider all mobility needs and design urban spaces accordingly. By prioritising walking, cycling and public transport, we can create cities that are less car-dependent and more inclusive for everyone.”
‘The interplay of different modalities within cities intrigues me. I am always looking for the best solution for the city and its inhabitants, while playing close attention to bikes. In the Netherlands and abroad I give workshops on the development of cycling culture, strategic network planning, street design and intersection design.’
“I’ve spent much of my life dependent on a car and a large part of it without one (by choice). My lived experience of both has taught me much about what it takes to design communities where car ownership and use is an option, rather than a necessity.”
‘The private use of cars still dominates the street scene. This individualistic and environmentally unfriendly form of mobility is increasingly inconsistent with our sustainable, social and accessibility goals. Within Mobycon, I work on stimulating cycling and other smart, innovative mobility solutions that increase the liveability of an area.’
“So many of the world’s challenges, from climate change, to public health, to wealth inequality, have the potential to be alleviated through changes to transportation systems. That is what underlies my passion for implementing sustainable, safe and equitable transportation solutions.”
“Cities and communities in the US grapple with questions of equity, sustainability, and affordability as they grow. Part of the answer to these hard problems is found in how we build and move around our cities. As change makers we’re here to tell stories of the way things are, the good and the bad, and of the way that they can be better in the future. We’re here to help inspire communities, leaders, and agencies to reshape their cities to meet the needs of tomorrow.”
“Looking at the evolution of towns and cities through the ages, we know that transit, walking and cycling are the most efficient and sustainable ways of moving people. As someone that loves to see cities grow to their full potential, I’m passionate about ensuring we tailor our movement for people.”
“I am passionate about mobility, especially in urban contexts. It is an exciting challenge to contribute to more liveable places by designing streets that work for people, regardless whether people are staying or going. Using my experience from the Netherlands and the Nordics I enjoy helping cities with becoming more sustainable, mainly through giving people better options to walk and cycle.”
‘Dutch urbanism may seem like magic at first glance, but it’s the result of courageous (and replicable) choices made by human beings. Experience from the Netherlands has tremendous power to inspire and inform the creativity we need to build more resilient, safe, equitable and prosperous communities.’
‘I combine knowledge with a strategic, structured and practical view of traffic and transport. My expertise lies in spatial planning, traffic and transport structures, the design of public space and traffic management.’
“A sustainable mobility system and increasing accessibility for all is my top priority. By involving people in our work, we ensure that new mobility options meet the needs of all travellers. This improves both people’s quality of life and the quality of the environment.”
‘Research into the use and potential of the electric bikes for long distance journeys gives new insights into the possibilities of sustainable mobility. I am inspired by my surroundings and strive for the best results.’
“Mobility is relevant in all aspects of life and should be accessible to all. Yet there are target groups that face mobility poverty. I want to address these issues by applying a people-centred approach within mobility.”
“How we design our city affects how we move around in it and vice versa. In my work, I use this interaction to contribute to an attractive living environment where pedestrians and cyclists come first and no one is left behind.”
‘Getting the best out of people, that’s what I like best. So that they use all their qualities and a lot of fun to achieve the jointly set goal: making society less dependent on the car! ‘
‘I enjoy the challenge of a complex mobility issue. During my education in Traffic and Cultural Geography I learned how to solve these issues with professional knowledge and an eye for the environment.’
‘Strong advice is accompanied by research. I conduct every survey in a manner tailored to that client. This is how I approach every inquiry. The results form the basis for useful and concrete advice.’
“Mobility intersects with societal themes such as sustainability, well-being, and inclusivity. Applying and developing research methods contributes to a healthy, sustainable, and inclusive city.”
“Making mobility smoother, safer, and cleaner is my goal. I also find it important to raise awareness about people’s traffic behavior and break ingrained patterns. This creates space for new forms of mobility that better align with the needs and developments in the world.”
‘Organisation and communication are my passions! Arranging conferences, seminars, business trips in the Netherlands or abroad is what I do best! The marketing and communication of Mobycon, with me, is in good hands.’
“The interesting aspect of mobility is that it revolves around choices; why does someone choose a particular mode of transportation? Using data, I map out the current situation. By combining it with qualitative research, input from stakeholders, and expertise from colleagues, we arrive at a fitting recommendation.”
“Mobility is interesting, a combination of all modes of transportation and essential. I like to contribute to the optimal functioning of this comprehensive mobility system in our increasingly busy society and ensure better accessibility.”
“In the transition to a sustainable mobility system, it is crucial to determine the motivations of travelers to choose sustainable mobility options. I uncover this through research and provide targeted advice on how to encourage travelers to make sustainable choices.”
“Mobility is for everyone, but everyone is different. That’s why alternatives to the car are only successful when you truly understand the behavior and choices of the end user and respond accordingly. I view things through the traveler’s perspective, working in this way on sustainable mobility solutions for everyone.”
“Linking aspects together to achieve the best end result is where my passion lies. I do not shy away from challenges. Marketing is my specialty.”
“Mobility is part of everyday life and for everyone. Everyone also has an opinion on how it can be improved or changed. I derive energy from searching for solutions that benefit everyone or make them happy, while simultaneously making the world a bit safer, more livable, and accessible. Thinking in opportunities and possibilities.”
“In addition to installing cameras for research purposes, I also create videos. I visually capture projects for which we provide advice or have executed, ensuring a clear visualization of the entire process – from inception to completion. Whether with a handheld camera or soaring through the air with a drone!”
‘I am fascinated by innovation and smart mobility solutions; from the development process with stakeholders to the end product for the user. I have years of experience with traffic and transport studies and work on bicycle and traffic safety, mobility management and mobility concepts.’
“Traffic and transportation are incredibly broad subjects. It’s crucial to substantiate solutions for mobility issues with thorough research. With the increasing availability of data, I see a great opportunity to address challenges even more precisely.”
‘The influence of mobility on our society is enormous. I believe that people, rather than cars, should be the focus of attention when we are designing public space and mobility policies. That is why I strive to take an integrated approach to mobility issues while keeping the human factor in mind. In this way, we can achieve a society that is less dependent on the car.’

“The field of mobility is constantly evolving, with new developments and technology in a changing society. It remains challenging to advise clients in this complex context. That’s what captivates me.”
“Mobility revolves around people—individuals who make a daily choice about the mode of transportation they use to travel from A to B. The decisions they make depend on various factors. I study this behavior, empathize with the target audience, and provide advice on how to influence choices through measures.”
‘Onderzoek heeft degelijke gegevens nodig. Als coördinator zorg ik ervoor dat altijd betrouwbare gegevens worden verzameld in het veld. Alleen of samen met een team veldwerkers. Met een zonnetje of tijdens een regenbui, elk onderzoek begeleid ik in goede banen.’
‘In my work I support projects for passenger transport, chain mobility and research. My interest in the field of mobility is broad, meaning I can quickly understand and adapt to new topics.’
‘The public space around us is strongly connected to its users. (Re)designing streets climate-adaptively where the physical living environment connects to people’s needs is what energizes me!’
‘Mobility is inextricably linked to behavior. In the transition to a sustainable mobility system, it is not (only) about developing smart and innovative mobility solutions, but mainly about realizing a change in behavior, with or without innovative solutions.’
‘I am committed to ensuring that we are and remain mobile in the Netherlands in a pleasant, safe, healthy and sustainable manner. The connection between public space, economy, environment and mobility does not happen by itself. The interests can conflict, finding solutions is a puzzle I like to work on with a focus on walking, cycling and collective transport.’
