OPTIMISM’s Aim
“contribute to a more sustainable transport system in Europe, by focusing on passenger transport behaviour “
Sustainable mobility is understood as a long term vision that needs to be achieved in the context of achieving a more inclusive and competitive society and economy in a continuous changing context
