In Portugal, the pilot action will take place in Lisbon
According to a 2020 Airport Mobility Study, led by ANA (the responsible organization for managing the ten airports in Portugal), of the 23,400 workers in the Lisbon airport perimeter, 69% used individual transportation for their home-work-home journeys. The main reasons found for not using public transport (PT) were: · incompatible airport opening hours and public transport operational hours (the airport is open 24 hours a day; bus and metro start at c. 06h30 and finish at 1h00) · a lack of PT night-time services · no direct PT connections
Thus, a particularly severe problem identified was the inexistence of PT services at night, when a significant number of workers (namely 76% of shift workers or 17,800 people working on airport premises) must reach the airport to work.
This has all led to the use of the private car becoming the first commuting option, congestion in parking lots, congestion on the roads surrounding and leading to the airport, and the yearly emission of 522,83 tCO2eq (just from the 478 workers of ANA - 2022 values): if we consider a linear ratio, for the total 23,400 workers, the indicator should reach an estimation of 25 k tons CO2eq).1 This data will be re-evaluated in new surveys to be developed within the scope of LIFE MOONSET WP2, as a task prior to the implementation of the pilot.
