IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY IN CENTRAL EUROPE During its 36-month duration, DREAM_PACE will work to improve accessibility and connectivity in the Central Europe peripheral and rural areas, by integrating the Public Transport (PT) offer with Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services. This will be obtained by the development of innovative DRT concepts bridging regional mobility networks and the improvement of DRT planning and delivery capacities of public authorities and operators. DREAM_PACE project will tackle different specific challenges, targeting 6 areas of Central Europe, areas which have different background conditions. 1. We foster a better integration of DRT and public transport in Bologna (Italy), Pavia (Italy), Budapest (Hungary) 2. We support a better coordination among existing DRT initiatives through a bottom-up approach in Osttirol (Austria) and Baden-Wuerttenberg (Germany) 3. We experiment new integrated approaches for DRT "greenfield" in Split-Dalmatia County (Croatia).
