UITP 2012 - 60th UITP World Congress

Sustainable mobility is best provided by the so-called “environmental alliance” of public transport, walking and cycling. However well-designed this alliance may be, it leaves gaps in the total mobility chain of our fellow citizens’ everyday journeys. If people are really to be convinced to move around sustainably, they have to be offered a wide range of comfortable and easily available mobility options that fit with their own lifestyle values.
Alongside improving service quality and increasing capacity for (conventional) public transport, this requires a comprehensive review of the service portfolio and retail facilities. Using bus, trains, bikes, carpooling, taxi or car-sharing will be possible from a “one-stop-shop” for information and payment. This will be as easy as ABC. How? Through the generalized used of web-based applications, the reason behind the acronym i-MOVE 2.0.
The 2013 Congress programme will feature 6 main topics:
Service design and portfolio
Strategic management and integrated business processes
Funding model
Governance and industry structures
Smart city and mobility management
The tools of Mobility 2.0
Make sure that you place your company on the Congress programme and ensure that your innovative best practice benefits from international exposure. We look forward to receiving your proposal before 30 March 2012.
