UPPER Project EU

Unleashing the potential of public transport in Europe.

 
UPPER aims to strengthen the role of public transport in achieving sustainability and innovative mobility in cities. The project will implement 84 measures which influence user’s choices on 5 innovation axes: mindset and culture, urban mobility planning, mobility services ecosystem, road network management and democratic governance.

“UPPER will ease the cooperation among authorities and operators, offer a virtual environment to test the measures, enhance the existing SUMPs, trigger a behavioural change and achieve a secure, efficient, inclusive, clean, reliable, attractive and affordable public transport that leaves nobody behind.”


 
UPPER will work with 10 cities and regions with planned actions including:
 
  • Valencia, Spain
  • Rome, Italy
  • IIe de France, France
  • Oslo, Norway
  • Mannheim, Germany
  • Lisbon, Portugal
  • Leuven, Belgium
  • Budapest, Hungary
  • Thessaloniki, Greece

“UPPER will create an integrated and holistic ecosystem... to achieve the goal of increasing the use of public transport by 30% and the user satisfaction by 25%, while, at the same time, become a source of inspiration for the rest of the cities to achieve the goal of climate neutrality in 2030
