Sustainable mobility strategies in an Italian university

The demand for sustainable and efficient mobility options may be critical in contexts that host large public bodies, since public transportation systems can be overloaded. The present paper discusses the case of a medium-sized Italian university located in a small Alpine town, whose departments are partially situated on hills around the town center. The current situation, analyzed by a survey, is critical, since students report of overloaded buses and of the poor chance of getting on. However, different solutions are here discussed and proposed for application to this situation and to other contexts concerning large public bodies in the world.
