Overview
Mobility for each citizen as well as the transport of goods must be ensured in combination with a free choice of transport modes. However, actions in relation to mobility management should be strengthened to raise people's awareness towards sustainable mobility. Due to changing conditions (e. g demographic development, rising energy costs, new ecological standards) new quality standards for an attractive pedestrian, bicycle and public transport infrastructure are on the urban agenda in many cities.
2MOVE2's main objective is to improve urban mobility by advancing or creating sustainable, energy-efficient urban transport systems in the participating European cities, Stuttgart, Brno, Malaga and Tel Aviv,for the benefit of all citizens, society and climate policy, respecting environment and natural resources.
These four cities decided to create more sustainable, clean and energy-efficient urban transport systems in their cities to establish new forms of mobility in a common approach for the benefit of all citizens, society and climate policy, respecting the environment and natural resources.
The development and implementation of similar projects and initiatives in the four cities will allow for evaluation and comparison of the results and impacts in the different contexts in the leading and learning cities. In addition, the measures in the four cities have been selected in a way that allows transfer and applicability to small- and medium-sized towns. Specific emphasis has been put on the measures of e-mobility, freight and ITS-based traffic management. The continuous reflection of the proposed projects with the SUMPs, as well as with urban development plans is also stressed.
Based on the idea to develop and implement similar measures and initiatives in the four partner cities, the 2MOVE2 partners have defined measure packages in all four cities involving:
- Innovative, clean, energy-efficient vehicles and integrated transport systems for personal, collective and freight applications;
- Deployment of ICT and ITS for traffic management, vehicle guidance, accident avoidance, passenger information and travel planning, road pricing and smart payment systems;
- Sustainable urban transport planning that combines land-use with innovative transport systems and 'human' transport modes of cycling and walking.
