<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers\u2019 mobility is no longer merely a matter of sustainability or corporate responsibility. With the enactment of Law 9\/2025, dated December 3, on Sustainable Mobility\u2014published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on December 4, 2025, and effective as of December 5, 2025\u2014commuting to the workplace is now incorporated into the regulatory compliance framework of certain companies and public entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation introduces a specific requirement: to have a Sustainable Commuting Plan (PMST) in place at workplaces that exceed certain workforce thresholds. Specifically, this requirement applies to companies and public-sector entities with workplaces employing more than 200 workers, or 100 workers per shift, provided that such a workplace is the employee\u2019s regular place of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the timeline has been accelerated. The amendment introduced by Royal Decree-Law 7\/2026, dated March 20, reduces the deadline for implementing the plan from 24 to 12 months, setting December 5, 2026, as the key date for affected institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This requirement must be analyzed on a site-by-site basis, not solely based on the total number of people employed by the company. Therefore, an organization with multiple locations must determine whether each site exceeds any of the legal thresholds: more than 200 workers at the site or more than 100 workers per shift.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What should a PMST include?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sustainable Commuting Plan should not be viewed as a purely formal document. Law 9\/2025 requires that it incorporate sustainable mobility solutions tailored to the needs of the facility and the people who use it, including not only employees but also visitors, suppliers, and other users of the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measures to be considered include, among others, promoting active mobility, public transportation, low-emission mobility, shared or collaborative solutions, facilitating the use and charging of zero-emission vehicles, teleworking whenever possible, and road safety and accident prevention measures for commutes to the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a technical standpoint, a robust PMST should be based on a realistic assessment of the facility\u2019s mobility: travel patterns, shifts, public transportation use, accessibility, parking, charging infrastructure, road safety, associated emissions, and monitoring indicators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Negotiation, Follow-up, and Record-Keeping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One particularly important point is that the plan must be developed within the framework of collective bargaining. Law 9\/2025 links the PMSTs to workers\u2019 legal representation and to the obligation to negotiate measures that promote sustainable commuting to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, beyond simply \u201chaving a document,\u201d companies should be able to demonstrate that they have conducted a thorough assessment, negotiated the plan, defined actionable measures, established indicators, and put in place a system for regular monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
