Introduction
The SUMOBIS project formed part of the "Interreg IV B SUDOE" initiative. This was being directed by the city ofe Toulouse (France) with participation from the cities of Burgos (national leader of global distribution of the project itself), Oviedo, Ponferrada, Huelva with participation from Lisbon, Portugal.
Reason to Be Selected
As its main objective, and from which all its actions were derived, the SUMOBIS project was pursuing the development and implementation of "Transport Offices" in the different member cities of the project; even though it was advisable to emphasize that the SUMOBIS project members always worked on the overall subject matter of "expansion of information for the traveler", "stimulation of bicycle use", "support for the development of new uses for the car"; as well as proper development of the "Transport Forum".The established transport offices had the main purpose of promoting sustainable modes of transport, convenient both for users and for companies.
Highlights:
The transport offices, implemented in 5 of the 6 member cities of the project (Lisbon is an observer), were directing their actions towards setting up innovative services of sustainable transport. For this reason, they developed services that have been recently created or improved, with the aim of:- Proposing new forms of sustainable travel to users (car sharing, private vehicle sharing, bicycle hire...).
- To establish Travel Plans for Companies and Universities.
- To integrate the different information systems for the traveler with the aim of providing comprehensive information.
