European Urban Transport Roadmaps 2030 to join CIVITAS Forum

European Urban Transport Roadmaps 2030 is partnering with the CIVITAS initiative at the 2017 CIVITAS Forum (27-29 September 2017) to showcase a policy tool that allows decision-makers to analyse the relative impact of different combinations of sustainable urban mobility measures.

Commissioned by DG MOVE of the European Commission, the tool helps cities deliver on the goals of their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) by enabling them to forecast the impact of measures and understand whether they are the best solution to the challenges they face. The focus is on transport scenarios and roadmaps for implementation that are feasible and practical.

The Forum, held in Torres Vedras, Portugal, will feature a one-day stream of six sessions in its deployment day on 28. September under the header of "European Transport Roadmap 2030". The sessions will include an introduction to the tool and a practical training workshop, as well as cover capacity building, procurement, financing SUMP solutions, and feature a row of case studies.

The Urban Transport Roadmap tool will also be presented in the Forum's marketplace, where Forum participants can try out the tool and get personal guidance on how to use its full potentials for their transport planning needs.
