ACCESSMILE

Connecting regions to European transport networks

The trans-European transport networks carry a large share of long-distance freight transport across Europe. But connections between the main nodes of these networks and rural or peripheral regions are rather weak, with negative consequences for transport operators. The ACCESSMILE project improved the accessibility of such regions with the networks. To this end, the partners piloted new strategies and action plans to optimise IT processes ...

CO-MOVE

Testing transport solutions that reduce rural isolation

Scattered settlements and low population density make classic public transport unviable in many rural areas, deepening transport poverty and depopulation. CO-MOVE seeks to bring people closer to their jobs and public services through community-based mobility. Partners co-design social carpooling, demand-responsive and peer-to-peer schemes with citizens and stakeholders, integrate them into existing networks and prepare action plans. Shared lessons also lay foundations for future data-driven ...

DREAM_PACE

Making mobility more demand-responsive

Sustainable mobility offers are improving across central Europe but the various modes are not always seamlessly connected with each other. Such integration is especially challenging in sparsely populated regions but also cities struggle to meet customer expectations perfectly well. The DREAM_PACE developed demand-responsive transport concepts for regional mobility networks. The partners developed a strategy to integrate these into sustainable urban mobility plans and test ...

FERRYTALES

Making ferries sustainable to bridge rivers

Declining ferry services and lack of bridges have turned rivers into barriers, isolating rural communities and forcing long detours by car. FERRYTALES aims to restore these links with clean, modern ferry system's where bridges are not feasible. Partners in three countries prepare zero-emission and autonomous ferries on the Ipoly/Ipel’ and Elbe rivers, testing innovative technologies services, and user uptake. A joint ferry development guide, ...

FlexiSHARE

Breaking mobility poverty in rural communities

In many peripheral areas, elderly, disabled and low-income residents face poor public transport with fixed routes that do not fit their needs. FlexiSHARE aims to offer flexible, affordable alternatives to such mobility poverty. Using the shared Flexiride model, partners from four countries co-design demand-responsive transport with residents, adjust routes and timetables based on data and test pilots in different contexts. Joint guidelines and business ...

MUTABLE

Connecting communities through smarter mobility

Rural regions with scattered populations often have weak links to cities, making it hard to reach work, education and healthcare. MUTABLE aims to improve public transport through stronger local mobility management. Partners from three countries introduce mobility managers who coordinate services, pilot demand-responsive connections and involve citizens in designing user-focused solutions. Exchanging methods and tools helps also other regions in central Europe build smarter, ...

NUTSHELL@CE

Improving public transport planning in rural areas

Transport policy in rural areas is still too often focused on cars. To reduce land use for streets and offer more sustainable mobility options, the NUTSHELL@CE project will transform transport planning in these areas. Partners from eight countries work towards a public transport system that is based on integrated spatial and transport planning. This new approach will increase flexibility, offer better access to transport ...

Rail4Regions

Putting freight on rail

To reduce carbon emissions, more goods need to be moved by rail. But currently, most freight is still transported on central Europe’s roads due to rail infrastructure gaps that reduce competitiveness. The Rail4Regions project helped transport planners to integrate regional rail lines into European freight networks. The partners developed solutions to optimise regional rail lines and access points and created action plans to encourage ...

RAISE-CE

Turning rural train stations into mobility hubs

Underused rural railway stations miss the chance to connect people with wider mobility networks and services, fuelling isolation and outmigration. RAISE-CE aims to turn six stations in Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Poland and Germany into more vibrant mobility hubs. Pilot actions introduce e-sharing assets, demand-responsive links, digital kiosks and Wi-Fi community spaces co-designed with locals. Partners build capacities of station managers and embed results ...

SUNFLOWER4CE

Making cross-border travel easier

People living in border regions often struggle to reach nearby towns, jobs and services because transport networks stop at national borders or do not connect well with rural areas. SUNFLOWER4CE adapts solutions from earlier Interreg projects to help neighbouring regions plan services together. Five border areas will test how regular public transport can be combined with flexible services that run when and where passengers ...

SUSTANCE

Improving mobility in border regions

Leaving the car at home remains challenging for people in sparsely populated areas close to borders. Too often, there are simply no satisfying public transport offers available. The SUSTANCE project involved a wide range of transport stakeholders to co-design innovative mobility services and governance schemes that help public authorities to change this. In this process, the partners deployed amongst others customised intervention action plans ...

TRANS-BORDERS+

Providing better service and information for cross-border travellers

Cross-border connectivity is crucial for people in peripheral areas. But they often lack efficient service and information on public transport links to regions across borders. The TRANS-BORDERS+ project targets this issue by introducing new services and digital information systems that help with planning public transport journeys in border regions. Project partners from five countries develop solutions like open journey planners that link travel information ...
