Abstract

This chapter highlights selected sustainable transport measures that were implemented in nine partner cities during the SUITS project and discusses outcomes and learnings. Mutual exchanges, either in workshops or focussed meetings between the cities, provided inspiration for planning and implementing sustainable transport measures. For the project team, such exchanges provided insights into challenges the cities faced on a day-to-day basis which were used to develop training material and further understand the organisational process. During the project, cities worked on transport measures in five broad topic areas: clean fuels and low emission vehicles, collective passenger transport, vulnerable road users, safety and security and intel-ligent transport systems and services. Here, we present a selection to illustrate the scope of the undertaking and, how the project was able to enhance the implementation of each initiative.
