On Tuesday, February 11th, GreenPATH will hold a Joint Transnational Review Workshop (JTRW) with project partners, stakeholders and mobility experts. The workshop will be held online from 10 to 12 CET.
The project aims to apply an innovative approach to commuting in Central European Functional Urban Areas (FUAs), in order to improve the daily home-to-work commuting experience. To do so, GreenPATH collaborates with public and private stakeholders to co-design sustainable mobility solutions which can benefit both students and workers, which will then be tested in 7 cities.
Next week’s session will be focused on the Needs and Gaps Analysis executed across multiple FUAs to identify the main challenges and opportunities for regional mobility and to define pilot actions. Partners will present results from their territorial analyses, followed by a presentation of the pilot activities planned for each city. A discussion will also be dedicated to the case study being carried out in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, focusing on cross-border commuting between Italy and Slovenia. Finally, mobility experts with experience in EU projects, green commuting and transport policies will take part in a roundtable.
The following experts will attend:
