Welcome to the Eltis Mobility Update!

 

A new year brings new opportunities. For the Eltis team, it’s the chance to see how we can improve the website to maximise its benefit to you – our readers. So before you depart on your winter holidays, we’d be very grateful if you could please take just 5 minutes to complete our short survey.
 

The EU-funded EVIDENCE project has been sifting through mountains of research to collect evidence of the benefits of sustainable transport. This month’s feature is an interview with the project’s co-ordinator, Colin Black, who will shed light on the team’s progress.


Our case studies this month are about how local German, Dutch and British students helped bring fresh, actionable ideas to the rail industry in a creative way, and how Ghent has identified and purchased the most suitable energy-efficient emergency vehicles.

 

Happy reading!

JASPERS
 
 

Every month we briefly present a different stream of EU funding that can help your towns and cities introduce sustainable urban mobility solutions.

 

This month we look at the Joint Assistance to Support Projects in European Regions (JASPERS).

 

The JASPERS programme gives technical assistance to prepare high-quality major projects to be financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds in the new Member States. JASPERS focuses on major projects with total eligible cost exceeding €75 m.

  New tools from the Eltis community   SUMP Guidelines
 
 
     
 
 
 
  • CIVITAS cost-benefit analysis tool
  • The CBA calculator requires very little data to carry out a simple CBA. It takes into account many different benefits including time and operating cost.

     
 
  • Step 2: Define process and scope of plan
  • A SUMP development process needs to be tailored to the local situation. This includes the definition of the geographical scope of the plan,  addressing the functioning urban agglomeration.
