POLIS Webinar: Integration of Passenger and Freight Transport

On 23 May from 13:00 to 14:30 CEST, POLIS will host a webinar, Integration of Passenger and Freight Transport, to unlock synergies between passenger and freight transport for sustainable urban mobility.

As urban areas continue to face increasing congestion and environmental challenges, innovative solutions are required to optimise transport efficiency. One such approach is the integration of passenger and freight transport, leveraging shared infrastructure and mobility services to enhance sustainability, reduce emissions, and improve service levels. This webinar will explore real-world applications of this concept, focusing on three ongoing R&I projects: DELPHI, URBANE and ULTIMO. This webinar also invites practitioners to present applications of the concept in real life operation.
