The GreenPATH project, led by the Institute for Transport and Logistics (ITL, Italy), was officially launched in Bologna on 22-23 May. Chosen from 280 applications, GreenPATH will be supported – under the Interreg Central Europe Programme – with a total funding value of 2,365,016 euros.
GreenPATH: Pioneering Sustainable Commuting Solutions
GreenPATH aims to promote sustainable commuting in Central Europe’s functional urban areas (FUAs) over its 2.5-year duration. The project will analyse commuting mobility patterns, develop innovative sustainable commuting solutions, and engage stakeholders through awareness campaigns to encourage a shift towards sustainable transport. The project brings together partners from across Central Europe to tackle common transport challenges and promote a greener, more sustainable future.
The kick-off meeting brought together partners from 10 regions to outline objectives and establish a collaborative environment. Discussions covered the project’s work plan, pilot activities, and detailed presentations on the main work packages, including identifying commuting challenges, co-designing solutions, and policy integration strategies.
A Steering Committee was formed to ensure effective governance, and agreements were made on quality standards and reporting procedures. The meeting also emphasised collaboration with related projects such as DREAM_PACE and SUSTANCE and set communication goals for the project.
Looking Ahead
The GreenPATH project is set to make significant strides in sustainable commuting solutions over its implementation period. The detailed work plan and collaborative spirit established during the kick-off meeting lay a strong foundation for achieving the project’s goals.
