Funding Calls

Urban & Suburban Mobility

The European Commission has launched a call for proposals to award grants to actions in support of the development of sustainable mobility policy for urban agglomerations. Actions should test and assess measures which can significantly contribute to promoting the objectives set out in the 2007 Green Paper 'Towards a
new culture for urban mobility': more fluid and less polluted towns and cities; more intelligent and more accessible urban transport; and safer and more secure urban transport. They should also contribute to the implementation of the forthcoming Action Plan on urban mobility.

Possible areas of activity include good practice in demand-responsive transport for passengers (seamless traffic chains, integrating private and public travel in urban and peri-urban areas, including possible links to land-use and urban mobility planning); safe walking/cycling; and systems of access to green areas (including interoperable technological tools and public information provision). Where possible, actions should add value to and incorporate experiences gained from activities financed under Community programmes such as STEER and CIVITAS. The total budget is EUR5 million.

Deadline: 31 March 2009
