The contest begins on 16 September 2016 during Euro-pean Mobility Week, the annual European and national awareness raising campaign focusing on mobility and urban transport issues. This is the perfect opportunity for UITP to use the power of photographic imagery to make a statement at international level.

Digital revolution is changing the sector beyond rec-ognition, powering innovation while fostering creativity and entrepreneurship. Across the sector, opportunities are opening up for new players providing both inno-vative and traditional public transport services. At the same time, the sector has to react to the challenges of meeting modern energy and environmental expec-tations. Additionally, there is a greater need today to adapt to the evolving needs of customers. The public transport sector is set to play a key role in this global transition. This contest is the ideal opportunity to demonstrate how your company is meeting these new challenges in today’s urban transport landscape.

ARE YOU LEADING THE MOBILITY TRANSITION?In times of increasing digitalisation, advances in green energy and the emergence of new players, our sector is witnessing rapid changes in urban mobility.
