EU Urban Mobility Observatory

Contribution to the EU Urban Mobility Observatory, ex-ELTIS, facilitating the exchange of information, knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable urban mobility

The EU Urban Mobility Observatory, previously known as ELTIS, was created more than 25 years ago, and it is now Europe’s main source of information on urban mobility.
The Observatory, financed by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Mobility and Transport, facilitates the exchange of information, knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable urban mobility. It addresses individuals working in transport as well as in related disciplines, including urban and regional development, health, energy and environmental sciences.
TRT collaborates with the EU Urban Mobility Observatory since 2017. The current contract, covering years 2024 and 2025, foresees for TRT to carry on the following activities:

• collection of regular updates and lessons learned from existing EU- funded urban mobility projects covering several EU funding programmes and initiatives with the objective to pinpoint valuable contributions and enhanced insights to enrich the EU Urban Mobility Observatory. Special emphasis is placed on key topics of interest within the thematic domains of all six EGUM sub-groups.
• Update and further develop the portal, developing new contents such as news in the field of urban mobility and case studies across Europe
• Provide administrative support to the EGUM sub-groups, particularly on “Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs)” and “Active Mobility and safety of vulnerable road users”
• Support on the follow-up on the Commission Recommendation on national SUMP support programmes
• Support on updating the SUMP Guidelines and quality review of SUMP reference materials
