Growing prosperity creates growing demand for mobility of people and goods especially in urban areas. At the same time, urban areas have limitations concerning accommodating the increased mobility demand in terms of increasing road and parking infrastructure.
Moreover, congestion problems, mostly present in and around urban areas, cost the European countries nearly 100 billion Euro, or 1% of the EU's GDP, every year. Added to this is the cost of pollution and concerns about urban road safety.
Sustaining the mobility needs of the European citizen whilst tackling the negative effects of transport will be a real challenge for European cities in the next decade.
ERTICO – ITS Europe is pleased to invite you to the ERTICO Forum on "ITS for Urban Mobility", to be held on 1 December in Brussels, Belgium.The purpose of the Forum is to support city authorities in identifying appropriate ITS solutions for their mobility related challenges.
Please note that ERTICO - ITS Europe Partners, i-Mobility Network Plus Members and city authorities can register to this event for free. For all other attendees, a 300 Euro registration fee applies.
A live web stream will be available to ERTICO Partners and i-Mobility Plus Members who are unable to attend in person.
