The second phase of the EU Road Safety Exchange Project and the EU's annual Road Safety Awards both aim to increase awareness of safe mobility solutions in order to help reduce accident casualties in the EU, which remain high.

Ahead of the upcoming Urban Mobility Days, Eltis spoke to one panellist, Hélène De Solère, Logistics Project Manager at CEREMA, about the challenges ahead and opportunities going forward.

In order to hit its climate targets, Europe needs, not just a transition towards more sustainable transport, but an evolution. However, it is no secret that the new technologies and services needed will require significant investment to put in place state-of-the-art, innovative solutions. There are a range of funding and financing options available for these solutions, which blend investment from many different sources, for cities and regions, yet, navigating these is often a complex task.

The EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) is looking for four new innovation leaders to join their Governing Board and support their overarching mission to ‘create jobs and deliver sustainable and smart growth’. The EIT Governing Board is currently made up of 15 European innovation leaders, as well as an observer from the European Commission, and is entrusted with the strategic leadership and overall direction of operational activities of the Institute.

A quarter less motorised traffic and more than a third more cyclists: that is the striking balance one year after the implementation of the new traffic circulation plan in the centre of Brussels.

FastTrack achieved a number of impressive milestones and a number of key resources were created which future cities can use as they work to implement sustainable mobility innovations in their communities.

This year’s Urban Mobility Days will explore how building a common European mobility data space will enable better access to transport and mobility data. Ahead of the conference, session panelist, Thomas Geier- Policy Advisor at EMTA, reveals the importance of the topic.

Ahead of the Urban Mobility Days, Janet Ågren, Deputy Mayor of Umea (and chair of the city board’s planning committee) reveals how the Swedish city has come to punch above its weight when it comes to pursuit of sustainable and inclusive mobility.

Our ability (and inability) to travel plays a crucial role in how we lead our daily lives. In our journey towards employing more sustainable modes of transport, no one should be relegated to the sidelines.
