Overview

Background & Policy context

The Directorate-General for Mobility (DGMo) sets policy on the movement of persons and goods by land, focusing on a coherent analysis of and approach to mobility, accessibility and spatial development, and strengthening links between the different modes of transport. The main focus points of this policy are accessibility, safety and liability of the living environment. In doing so, DGMo takes into account the responsibilities of civilians, companies and other governmental bodies.

To support the policy-making process, DGMo needs a solid knowledge base. This is achieved by setting up research programmes that are carried out by KiM (Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis)and by independent subcontractors.

Because of the level of applicability of the research results asked for, there are specific longer-term research programmes on transport matters. Nevertheless, policy objectives remain more or less the same throughout a longer period of time and specific research projects with a longer life span are part of the programme. Another part of the programme is reserved for short-term questions, often related to the political opportunities of the day.

Since 2010 the “Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management” including DGMo was integrated into the new Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment.

Strategic Objectives

DGMo combines national objectives for accessibility, sustainability, security, social development, economic growth, and climate for establishing businesses with regional and local ambitions and responsibilities.

Programme organisation

Co-operation with other governmental bodies (decentralisation), private parties (public-private co-operation) and interest groups. is stimulated in all sorts of ways  Budget is allocated among the different policy sectors of the directorate and then prioritised. Next to the programme, a number of research institutions are subsidised, among which is the SWOV (Scientific Research Foundation on Road Safety).
