EIT Urban Mobility

The world is in the midst of a climate emergency. Emissions need to be cut 55% by 2030, and net zero achieved by 2050 to meet the objectives of the European Green Deal. To make this happen we need to embrace a new paradigm that includes radically changing how we move and live in cities.  

Many innovative solutions to achieve sustainable urban mobility already exist, yet their widespread adoption is often slow. Our role as Europe’s leading network for transport innovation in cities is to catalyse uptake and accelerate this transition.  

We are committed to helping the EU accomplish its ambitious CO2 reduction goals. We align with EU priorities and contribute to key EU strategies and initiatives including the Green Deal, the Cities Mission for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, Horizon Europe and the New European Bauhaus. We also collaborate with our partners on local projects and initiatives and establish strong relationships with regional and city governments.

• public transport
• health and mobility
• electrification
• mobility data management
• urban vehicle access regulations
• public space design
• mobility planning
• urban logistics
