COGRASOVA devotes a workshop to the new Sustainable Mobility Law on 15 December
COGRASOVA holds a hybrid workshop on 15 December on Law 9/2025 on Sustainable Mobility and its effects on the self-employed and companies.
The Official Association of Employment Relations Graduates of the Valencian Community (COGRASOVA) has scheduled for next 15 December a monographic workshop on the new Sustainable Mobility Law, in both in-person and online format. The session will run from 10:30 to 12:30, with a total duration of two hours, and will be delivered by Gemma Fabregat Monfort, professor of Labour Law at the Faculty of Law of the Universitat de València.
The price is 36 euros for members - also for employees of members in Valencia, who must justify their status with a contract, employment history report or sworn statement - and 72 euros for non-members and other professionals. Payment can be made by card, Bizum or bank transfer, and the connection link and documentation are sent to the email address held in the association's database. The in-person venue is at Grabador Esteve 4 street in Valencia, and the organisation attends enquiries at cursos@cograsova.es and on the telephone number 963 529 500.
What Law 9/2025 regulates and why it matters to employment relations graduates
Law 9/2025, of 3 December, on Sustainable Mobility, published in the BOE on 4 December 2025, structures mobility planning in Spain. According to its statement of purpose, the rule establishes the State Strategic Planning Instrument for Mobility (IPEEM) and its equivalent for the autonomous communities, and sets out obligations for the drafting of sustainable mobility plans of local entities, for large activity centres and sustainable mobility-to-work plans.
It is precisely this last category - mobility-to-work plans - that lands in companies' labour management: the organisation of workforces' commuting ceases to be a purely logistical decision and becomes a matter of regulated planning, a terrain in which employment relations graduates are the company's first interlocutor. The law also devotes a block to the inclusive aspects of mobility - promotion of active mobility, actions for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility, gender and non-discrimination perspectives - and another to the sustainability of the transport system, with energy optimisation obligations for terminals and infrastructures and analysis of lanes reserved for public transport, high-occupancy or zero-emission vehicles.
The law also has an explicit European anchor: its statement of purpose explains that it responds to Component 1, "Shock plan for sustainable, safe and connected mobility in urban and metropolitan environments", of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, and in particular to its reform R2, so that its publication and entry into force fulfilled a milestone committed with the European Commission. It is not, therefore, an isolated rule, but the legislative piece of a strategy financed with European funds, which anticipates a sustained deployment of its obligations.
The rule also provides for a Document of Guidelines for Sustainable Mobility (DOMOS), whose first approval deadline is set by its second additional provision. Around that document, the law articulates methodological recommendations for some twenty areas which include, alongside the sustainable mobility-to-work plans "of companies or for workplaces", the mobility plans of local entities and large activity centres, low-emission zones, goods distribution and logistics, the policy of deterrent parking, safe cycling infrastructure or mobility solutions for rural and low-density areas. Those recommendations will set objectives, content and structure of the plans, as well as monitoring and review instruments, with universal accessibility as a guiding principle, and are complemented by good practice guides that will compile satisfactory actions of administrations, entities and companies. The Territorial Forum for Sustainable Mobility and the Higher Council for Sustainable Mobility, the two collegiate bodies that the law creates for cooperation between administrations, participate in the design.
The law does not stop at planning: its fourth section regulates the information and the environmental and energy management by transport service operators, and its second title incorporates energy optimisation obligations for terminals, workshops and other infrastructures, as well as the use of renewable energies in those facilities. It is a reminder that sustainable mobility is also a problem of business management and compliance, not only of urban planning.
The regulatory development is therefore underway: training now on the architecture of the law means arriving on time for its deployment.
Professional association training as a thermometer
The call also takes care of the typical logistics of Valencian association training: the connection link for those following the session online and the documentation are sent to the email address held in the association's database, so it is advisable to check that the contact details are up to date before the date of the workshop.
That a professional association devotes a monographic workshop to a rule barely a year after its publication says much about the real demand it is generating. The workshops of the employment relations graduates' associations work as a reliable thermometer of which obligations are producing work in the sector, and sustainable mobility joins the topics that have concentrated association training activity in recent months. In our events section you can consult other recent calls, such as the ICAV workshop on the CJEU judgment on agents and FIFA or the annual REAF workshops in Oviedo.
The hybrid format chosen by the association responds to the reality of its collective: a good part of employment relations graduates work in advisory firms with diaries marked by their clients' deadlines, and the possibility of following the workshop online from one's own desk removes the main barrier to training in the morning.
The profile of the speaker reinforces the practical approach: that the workshop is delivered by a professor of Labour Law, and not only a mobility technician, indicates that the association wants to put the accent on the labour side of the rule - the mobility-to-work plans and their fit in the company-workforce relationship - which is where its members will receive the enquiries.
For those interested, the combination of hybrid format, two hours' duration in the morning and reduced price for members makes it advisable to book a place as soon as possible.
