Slide 2/14
Slide title
• CIVITAS is an EU initiative researching, demonstrating and facilitating practical and policy-related measures that contribute to sustainable urban transport
• Since 2002, many European cities have benefitted from EU co-funding that helped improve their accessibility and citizens’ quality of life e.g.;
– In Stockholm, Sweden, congestion charging reduced city traffic between 2005-6 by 22%, while clean vehicle strategies increased their share of the car-fleet to 8%
– In Bremen, Germany success was demonstrated in car-sharing where between 2002-2010, the customer base rose 56% to 5,500 users. The target is 20,000 users by 2020.
– In Bristol, UK, freight deliveries to 70 retailers were trialled, then consolidated into a single scheme that saved them time and money, while improving citizen safety and reducing disturbance
– In 2009, Krakow launched Poland’s first ever bike rental system. It resulted in 5000 monthly journeys among 4000 users. A significant impact on its 1-2% modal share of 2003 is foreseen.
CIVITAS stands for City-VITAlity-Sustainability
…or cleaner and better transport in cities

CIVITAS as a Network
• To date CIVITAS has demonstrated good (and bad)
practice through 658+ measures within 58… 62
cities and through 13 …15 projects
• It has mobilised EUR 250 ..275 million to improve urban mobility and quality of life (72% EC co-funded)
• The Initiative is online at: www.civitas-initiative.eu; through which it promotes the dissemination of good urban transport experiences
• Its 62 cities are accompanied by a further 150 (e.g.: Tirana, Brussels, Antalya, Athens, Madrid, Warsaw..) who benefit from the accumulated know-how, experience, lessons-learned..
• Together they constitute the CIVITAS Forum Network, while every year the cities’ technical experts and politicians meet to exchange experiences and lessons learned in measure implementation
