Evaluation mobility consequences VINEX locations. Mobility reduction aims were an important part of the Dutch spatial policy from the nineties (VINEX). This policy encompassed several criteria for developing VINEX-locations, to limit the mobility these locations generate. This paper reports on a (ongoing) study into the mobility consequences of VINEX locations and discusses the compliance of these locations with policy criteria and analyses the travel behaviour of their inhabitants. The results show that the situation of the VINEX locations is in accordance with policy intentions, both with regard to proximity and accessibility. Innercity locaties do better than Vinex green field developments. The distance towards daily facilities is rather long. The mobility generated proves to vary strongly between types of locations. New developments, in general, generate more mobility than average. However, infill locations are a positive exception to this rule, while green field locations are a negative exception. Controlling for population characteristics we find that, again, infill locations generate less mobility and VINEX green field developments generate more. Furthermore, non-VINEX developments have the least favourable modal split. (Author/publisher)
