What is CIVITAS?

CIVITAS - cleaner and better transport in cities –

stands for CIty-VITAlity-Sustainability.

CIVITAS is an EU initiative for supporting and

evaluating the implementation of integrated

sustainable and energy efficient urban transport strategies

in European cities that should make a real difference to the

welfare of the European citizen.

CIVITAS objectives:

Sustainable, clean and (energy) efficient

urban transport measures

Integrated packages of technology and

policy measures

Critical mass and markets for innovation

CIVITAS II Facts & Figures

17 Demonstration Projects implemented over 200 measures across 8 thematic areas

Forum Members: 72 (2005) , 170 (2009), representing 60 million EU inhabitants

3150 new carpoolers, 700 clean vehicles, 60 km cycle lanes, 950 cycle parks, 2400 rental bikes, modal split cycling on average changed from 1% to 7%, awareness 90%, travel times savings up to 25%, fuel savings up to 8%, 1,6 website visits, 5000 off-street parking facilities, extension/installation of 13 LEZ, reduction of car trips 12%, 89% less congestion in LEZ, dissatisfaction levels fell from 76% to 33%, active satisfaction rose to 58%, etc. etc. etc.

All small steps towards the critical mass that is so urgently needed

Final Comment

CIVITAS II has been particularly successful in raising the profile

of sustainability measures.

The evaluation and related processes have generated a

political driving force.
