streNgthening pUblic TranSport to enHance accEssibility in ruraL centraL Europe

Transport policy in rural areas is still too often focused on cars. To reduce land use for streets and offer more sustainable mobility options, the NUTSHELL@CE project will transform transport planning in these areas. Partners from eight countries work towards a public transport system that is based on integrated spatial and transport planning. This new approach will increase flexibility, offer better access to transport corridors, harmonise timetables, and improve transport links in rural areas. Concretely, the project develops regional action plans, joint pilot actions, and a transnational competence centre.
