POLIS members to debate the way forward for cleaner and greener transport in May
From Active Travel to Freight, the POLIS Working Groups will convene to discuss the biggest challenges facing urban mobility.
Within the POLIS working groups, cities and regions share best practices, explore relevant policy changes and debate the way forward for cleaner, greener, more mobile cities. The working groups are tailored to the needs of our members, and we even have specific groups for Small and Medium sized cities as well as regions.
So, what is on the agenda this month?

Partnerships between public and private mobility operators will be essential for securing effective and sustainable mobility solutions. But how can these be achieved?

19 May | 14.00-15.30 CET
Our Parking and Clean Vehicles & Air Quality Working Groups join to discuss city level best practice in the field of integrated EV-parking strategies. As the charging infrastructure is gaining ground in urban areas, questions arise on how to efficiently incorporate it in already limited parking spaces while curbing visual pollution and safety hazards and yet improving the charging experience.

21 May | 11.00-12.30 CET
The Traffic and Mobility Efficiency group is running two workshops addressing the EU’s policy/legislation related to transport data, focusing on the ITS Directive and two delegated regulations enabled by the ITS Directive.

The second meeting will take place 1 June, 15.00-16.30.
