Exchanging practises and enhancing in the field sustainable transports
About the project
The project was mainly focused on the exchange of experiences in the field of sustainable mobility. The idea behind it, however, referred to the broader concept of sustainability, which encompassed various aspects of planning: environmental, economic, and social. Planning for sustainable transport, in fact, also had to take into account social and economic factors. Policies needed to be designed to ensure that all members of society could access and afford sustainable transport options, particularly those who were marginalised or lived in underserved communities. The project was developed as Continuing Vocational Education and Training (CVET), recognising that, as the world transitioned towards a low-carbon economy, it was essential for workers in the transport sector to be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to support this shift.
Objectives
The main objectives of the project were to build knowledge among civil servants and to exchange experiences at the local and regional levels of governance in relation to sustainable transport.
Activities
From these objectives, the exchange of good practices and the possibility of having better-trained civil servants were expected. These results were achieved through various activities:
Collection of good (or bad) practices from the participating countries on how different regions implemented and worked towards sustainable planning of transport. Partners exchanged knowledge and practices in order to support a broader change that was not limited only to their own institutions.
Sustainable Mobility Seminar;
Stakeholders reporting back: to ensure that all stakeholders were informed about the results of the seminar and engaged, a series of local online meetings were held in Italy, Finland, Germany, and Sweden.
Results
One of the results of the PLUS+T project has been the development of the final report, which presents the project’s outcomes and gathers insights from local and regional stakeholders in Finland, Sweden, Italy, and Germany. The document explores challenges, good and bad practices, and identifies concrete needs and opportunities for making transport planning more inclusive, effective, and sustainable.
