The entry into force of Sustainable Mobility Act 9/2025 requires businesses with more than 200 employees (or more than 100 per shift) to have a Sustainable Mobility Plan for Travel to Work in place by 5 December. The measure directly affects the more than 10,000 workers who drive to work every day in Palencia and its industrial areas, or travel to neighbouring provinces such as Valladolid and Cantabria.
In response to this new legal requirement, companies must assess their workforce’s starting position — working hours, routes and modes of transport — so they can offer efficient alternatives. In this context, shared mobility is one of the most immediate and effective ways to reduce the number of vehicles on the road without changing people’s daily journeys.
As Paulo Gómez, Waiis CEO, points out, mobility plans need up-to-date data to be genuinely useful rather than just a snapshot. Waiis’s proposal is to connect employees whose routes and itineraries overlap, making better use of the empty seats in vehicles already on the road. Although the legislation also includes options such as remote working, public transport and active travel, on interurban journeys and in industrial estates where cars remain essential, the key is to share journeys and use resources more intelligently.
