Mobility management specialists are in charge of planning and organising mobility in a given space or geographical area, ensuring compatibility and harmony between the different modes of transport. Their responsibilities include integrating safe transport with the quality of life of the resident population (avoiding unnecessary noise, ensuring the legally established levels of pollution, safe mobility, guaranteeing road capacity, etc.).

These professionals are usually responsible for the mobility of a municipality or an industrial area (industrial estate) and manage the transport systems for people and goods. This includes both the infrastructure through which mobility flows (pedestrian zones, loading and unloading areas, bicycle lanes, bus lanes, parking zones and typologies, high occupancy vehicle lanes, etc.), and the typology of vehicles (buses, cars, bicycles, motorbikes, PMVs or personal mobility vehicles, etc.). Thus, they can establish controls for the regulation of the flow of vehicles entering a given urban area and also the management of these flows within the same city. Likewise, these professionals help to define and regulate the transition processes towards a more sustainable mobility, establishing regulations that regulate the use of polluting vehicles within the city.

Mobility is the need and social right of citizens to move around for work, study, leisure or to access basic services. In this sense, mobility and its management is expected to be one of the areas of economic activity that will create highly qualified professional profiles in the coming years.

• Apply and develop a sustainable mobility strategy, prioritising modes of transport such as public transport, cycling and walking without renouncing complementarity with private transport.
• Ensure intermodality as a principle to seek maximum efficiency in the use of transport resources, the integral safety of people, the minimisation of the consumption of energy resources and land, as well as the incorporation of intelligent, more efficient and safer transport systems.

• Analyse the demographic, socio-economic and environmental characteristics of their city, municipality or industrial area.
• Diagnose the present mobility and the possible mobility generated with the demographic and activity forecasts to determine the areas of improvement of the mobility model (insufficient supply of transport systems, adequacy of each means of public or private transport to the demand, etc.).
• Monitor mobility systems, obtain operating data and in fact the exploitation in order to introduce improvements and move towards a more sustainable, accessible and compatible mobility with the rest of uses that take place in the city.
• Identify areas for improvement and make proposals to ensure traffic calming, universal access, compatibility of urban uses and road safety.
• Assess intermodality on a regional scale to plan solutions that facilitate the shift from private vehicles to collective transport (e.g. park & ride solutions).
• Assess efficiency and propose the implementation of new methods of private transport, making use of solutions such as carpooling or carsharing.

• Draw up the Mobility Plan for the municipality or urban or industrial area over which these professionals exercise their competences and manage it, coordinating with the agents involved.
• Propose changes for the management of transport systems towards sustainability (bicing, electrification of the bus network, other mobility systems).
• Plan and manage the development of new exclusive lanes for more sustainable mobility systems (bus lanes, trams, bicycle lanes, reduced speed streets, coexistence streets, etc.), and execute and coordinate their implementation.
• Regulate sustainable urban mobility proposals arising from private initiative, for example in the case of bus on demand.

• Carry out the planning of mobility services and their effective management between the administration and the private companies that provide their services, providing technological solutions, knowledge or executing infrastructure maintenance services.
• In mobility based on electric vehicles, plan and manage its charging infrastructures as well as the application of new technologies, both in terms of the installation of charging terminals on public roads and in car parks.
• Monitor, prepare and apply the knowledge generated from the information and big data exploitation systems available to assess the results being obtained in new developments in sustainable mobility.

• Plan, execute and carry out the maintenance of the city's electricity supply and recharging network.
• Manage the technical staff responsible for the technical maintenance and supervision of the technological systems supporting sustainable mobility.

Logistics

The planning, organisation, control and carrying out of logistics and administrative tasks are the focus of people who work in the field of logistics. Activities in the field of logistics include the organisation and planning of supply, storage, production and distribution systems, taking inventories, controlling stock and estimating production, as well as the organisation and/or carrying out of the administrative tasks necessary for the implementation of these activities. Knowledge of organisation, control and management techniques is essential for carrying out these activities.

Environment

People who work in this field focus their professional interests on the preservation, improvement or restoration of the environment (vegetation, fauna, flora) in both built-up areas and natural spaces. Some of the activities that represent this field are the detection, analysis and control of pollutants, the carrying out of measurements and tests in relation to climatic or environmental variables and the reduction of the harmful effects of human activity on the environment. The carrying out of these activities requires knowledge of the environment, for its planning and use, and of environmental regulations.

• Work hours

  The most common working time is 40 hours per week.
  
  

• Salary

  In the private sector, remuneration is defined according to the skills and functions to be developed within the company. Thus, broadly speaking, an auxiliary professional profile is usually defined, as well as a more experienced professional profile, with the capacity to manage and lead projects.
  
  In the first case, the salary ranges between 21,000 and 24,000 euros gross per year. In the second case, the remuneration ranges between 35,000 and 50,000 euros gross per year.
  
  The level of remuneration can also be modified by the type of work done within the company: commercial work, European projects, etc.
  
  Within the public administration, the remuneration would be equivalent to a civil servant at the level of a specialist type A, between 30,000 and 40,000 euros gross per year.
  
  

• Other features

  Mobility in urban areas and also outside urban areas is a phenomenon that characterises today's societies and is linked to cultural, consumption and production patterns. Thus, more and more people need to move around for work, study, leisure or simply to meet family members. Moreover, mobility - that is, the ability of a citizen to access effective and efficient means of transport to access goods and resources necessary for his/her personal development - has come to be considered as a right, which implies that both the public and private sectors are creating professional profiles to manage it.
  
  At the same time, mobility poses several challenges. Firstly, energy consumption to propel the vehicles that make it possible to move from one place to another. Secondly, the management of these flows and their intermodality, which creates congestion, accidents and other dysfunctions that affect the quality of life of citizens, most seriously in densely populated metropolitan areas. Thirdly, mobility can be a factor that generates social exclusion, given that certain sectors of the population can see their opportunities and equality of access to essential goods and services diminished due to their place of residence or the lack of resources to cover the costs of mobility.
