Overview
This three-day conference is organised by IMTT in cooperation with EPOMM (European Platform on Mobility Management), as well as the Portuguese member cities of the European Comission CIVITAS Programme – Coimbra, Funchal and Porto. It is proposed to define a 'Reference framework for the prearation of accessibility, mobility and transport plans', titled the 'Mobility package', which comprises a series of studies being conducted to produce directives for land-use planning in Portugal and guidelines on various aspects of accessibility, mobility and transport.
It is now time to broaden the debate and thinking to a wide and varied range of agents – cities, municipalities, transport operators, agencies, associations, NGOs, public authorities, companies, universities, research centres and other professionals. Accordingly, this event will encourage a wide debate centred on the 'Mobility package', as well as presenting EPOMM (which Portugal joined in 2009 via IMTT), hearing contributions from invited experts on European experiences and receiving inputs from Portuguese cities with practical experience of implementation in the context of the European CIVITAS programme.
