Promoting Clean Urban Transport: CIVITAS
CIVITAS is an EU initiative that helps cities to test integrated actions for sustainable, clean and energy-efficient urban transport. The EC's Green Paper published on 25 September 2007 notes that the CIVITAS approach could in the longer term pave the way for targeted EU support for financing clean urban transport activities.
The European Commission is now inviting all interested parties to take part in a consultation on urban mobility that will be open until 15 March 2008. A concrete Action Plan will then be drawn up and published by early autumn 2008. The Action Plan will include possible actions at EU national, regional and local levels and at the level of the industry and citizens.
