cities.multimodal

Incentives created

The project has successfully developed the sustainable urban mobility plans, established new mobility points, launched campaigns and introduced living street initiatives. Being driven by citizens, campaigns and living streets ensured stronger commitments and enhanced a better incentive structure. Visualization of how a city could look like in the future simplified understanding what could be done concretely. For 10 city partners, Rostock, Aarhus, Gdansk, Vilnius, Guldborgssund, Karlskrona, Pskov, Riga, Tartu, the multimodal city concept has become a reality.

Additionally, the project has enhanced mobility management in city quarters, schools and companies. Transnational collaboration among the participating cities resulted in a transfer of good practices. Thus, inspired by mobility points in cities like Ghent and Bremen, the participating cities got better insights into the process and found their own way through successful implementation.

Better guided and equipped

By developing guidance on sustainable urban mobility management and a handy toolbox with targeted solutions to concrete challenges, the project has provided the needed framework for public organisations like kindergartens, schools, as well as commercial and industrial companies. Aimed at enhancing institutional capacity, the supporting guide has provided better insights to the mobility mindset of the participating cities, the selection of pilot areas, planning approaches as well as the undertaken measures.

In addition, the project has evaluated the activities implemented within the project´s lifetime in order to show which measures had a major impact on successful implementation. The cities´ specific features were taken into consideration and a possible transferability of practices was accessed. Next, the project has also made multimodal travel planning analysis with a focus on web- and mobile-based travel planning applications. Based on market research, web-based applications and interviews, the analysis provided a comprehensive overview of ICT solutions tailored for different scenarios.

The Interreg project cities.multimodal used EUR 3.54 million from the European Union to find a more environmentally friendly way to driving and improving the citizens´ quality of life.
