2008 Polis Conference
Towards a common agenda for mobility in cities and regions
Barcelona, Spain
25-26 November 2008

Moving towards sustainable local mobility is widely acknowledged as being one of the most important challenges of the near future to meet the European objectives of tackling congestion and climate change. Experience has shown that progress in moving towards more sustainable transport systems can rarely be achieved by a transport authority in isolation but through partnerships with the many different stakeholders that influence mobility demand and systems in our regions and cities today.
These stakeholders are local agencies and businesses, citizens, technology developers, service suppliers and freight operators among others. Local and regional transport authorities are increasingly engaging with them to define a common agenda for the future of mobility.
A common agenda is necessary both at the local and the European level to achieve sustainable mobility. The Polis 2008 conference provided an opportunity to take stock of the achievements and learn about future partnerships and cooperation.
The conference parallel sessions will essentially be organised around the four broad themes of the Polis working groups:
- environment & health
- safety and security
- traffic efficiency & mobility
- the economic & social dimension of transport
