ELAN - Mobilising citizens for vital cities

  The CIVITAS-ELAN Project comprises the cities of Ljubljana, Gent, Zagreb (as leading cities), Brno and Porto (as learning cities) which have developed a common workplan for the CIVITAS Programme. Based on a cooperation agreement signed by the mayors of the five cities, the common mission statement for CIVITAS-ELAN is: "To 'mobilise' our citizens by developing with their support clean mobility solutions for vital cities, ensuring health and access for all."
  Project Goal/Expected Results
 

Based upon the eight CIVITAS policy fields, the ELAN project has the objective of mobilising citizens, creating vital cities, ensuring health and access for all by:

  • increasing energy efficiency through comprehensive energy management and innovative energy recovery/ saving techniques; reducing dependency on fossil fuels by increasing use and production of biofuels; increasing use of CNG; cleaning up local vehicle fleets through a mix of technologies/ fuels; and initiating local and European "green procurement" approaches. (policy field: Alternative fuels & clean energy efficient vehicles)
  • implementing effective, high quality mobility solutions; integrating transport modes and local-regional public transport; giving priority to PT on the road, at intersections and (P&R) interchanges; planning intermodal infrastructure with active public involvement (Policy field: Collective transport services & intermodal integration)
  • preparing for a sustainable congestion charging scheme; establishing a public dialogue on pricing; returning public space to pedestrians; managing space to increase its quality and its use by sustainable modes (Policy field: Demand management)
  • adopting a targeted mobility marketing approach; providing mobility management plans to major institutions; making walking and cycling more attractive; establishing a mobility dialogue with the citizens; providing high-quality mobility information to the citizens (Policy field: Influencing travel behaviour)
  • developing integrated & target-group specific safety and security strategies; increasing road safety (especially for vulnerable road users); improving security in Public Transport (Policy field: Safe & secure mobility)
  • implementing flexible demand-responsive mobility services and agencies; developing car sharing concept further; providing a coordinated response to major events (Policy field: Innovative mobility services)
  • rationalising freight distribution; improving institutional cooperation on "freight" (Policy field: Freight distribution)
  • increasing the commercial speed of Public Transport by giving priority; providing reliable traveller information; simplifying ticketing and integrating fares; "decongesting" corridors from polluting vehicles; introducing telematics for clean modes (Policy field: Transport telematic
