72% of Europe‟s citizens live in cities
80% of the EU‟s GDP is generated in
cities

40% of CO2 from road transport
70% of other pollutants from urban traffic
Millions of hours are spent in urban and
regional congestion

European Comission DG MOVE – Urban Transport
• Urban mobility is still reliant on fossil fuels
• Urban road congestion costs around 80 billion euros per
year
• 38% of the 28.000 road fatalities occur in urban areas
• A Eurobarometer survey indicated that the majority of
citizens consider UM problems a serious concern
– This differs a lot from country to country
– The “Mobility Gap”

The Urban Mobility Package (2013)
Ingredients:
• Better and integrated Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning
(SUMPs)
• Multi stakeholder partnerships (public-private)
– Logistics
– ITS
– Safety
– Access regulation and road charging
• Platform for knowledge exchange ELTIS www.eltis.org
• Continue with new experiments CIVITAS Laboratory
• Investment funds to improve the mobility system (ESI, EIB)
and European Transport network (TEN-T)

CIVITAS: A network of cities
for cities to achieve
sustainable urban mobility

BY THE EUROPEAN UNION
10 years CIVITAS:
• 70 demonstration cities
• 700 measures tested
• 220 cities member of the
Forum Network
• > 120 M€ EC investment

Main Conclusions from CIVITAS
Demonstration Activities
• Attitudes towards sustainable modes improved significantly in all CIVITAS Cities
• Citizens involvement at an early stage leads to wider public acceptance
• Clean vehicles are on the rise – latest diesel technology probably best in terms of environmental benefits
• SMART-measures for mobility management can be implemented relatively easy and are very effective
• Access restrictions and parking control contribute to better local travel conditions
• Organisational planning is of major importance
• Stakeholder partnerships have led to fruitful cooperation
• Solid evaluation is necessary to assess long-term impacts

Some conclusions regarding the future of
CIVITAS
1. Continue greening (urban) mobility
– Hybrid & electric vehicles
– Sustainable biofuels (biogas, diesels, algae, ..)
– Public transport modes
– Non-motorised modes
– Reduce the need to travel (land use)

Some conclusions regarding C2020
2. Explore new ways of using the mobility
system
– Shared mobility opportunities
– New mobility service providers entering the market
– Integrated information/payment systems
• Move from selling tickets to offering a mobility service

Some conclusions regarding C2020
3. Increase insight in mobility behaviour
– “Data Tsunami” provides great opportunities to
understand and influence (urban) mobility
• E.g. Insight in cycling behaviour
• E.g. Insight in multimodal trips in urban environment
– Societal trends influence decision making
• E.g. dropping car ownership rates in urban areas among
young people
• E.g. mode-choice becomes more flexible and adapted to
specific needs

BY THE EUROPEAN UNION
Some conclusions regarding C2020
4. Continue improving Sustainable Urban
Mobility Plans (SUMPS)
– CIVITAS as „champions league‟ for SUMPs
– Integration of measures is key
– Not only focus on technology, simple measures can
be as effective
– SUMP leads to SUM!

BY THE EUROPEAN UNION
Some conclusions regarding C2020
5. Continue to build partnerships
– Between public and private organisations
– Focus on exploitation beyond the lifetime of the
experiment itself
– Rethink leading / learning concepts towards mutual
development of knowledge
– Level of innovation should fit the environment
