Eltis portal management & development

The European Local Transport Information Service (Eltis) is the  EU platform facilitating the exchange of information and best practices in the field of urban mobility. Expanding its services during years, nowadays it has became an Urban Mobility Observatory, providing broader services, including training materials and support tools with special focus on mutual learning. Eltis also organises the annual SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) Conference.

• Deliver training on SUMPs, delivering national training events, Helping to bring in new cities that have not previously considered the SUMP concept.
