We are pleased to announce that TRT Trasporti e Territorio has joined the SLOCAT (Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport) Partnership. As the name of the initiative suggests, the partnership focuses on promoting and enabling collaborative knowledge and action for sustainable, low carbon transport. SLOCAT is an international partnership involving more than 90 associations, transportation companies, universities, government agencies, and NGOs, cooperating to promote a more equitable, more resilient and healthier transport and mobility systems. SLOCAT’s main activities include being active in international and local advocacy campaigns on sustainable transport and climate, participating and organizing peer-learning and capacity building initiatives, drafting thematic reports, guidelines and recommendations, etc. Through this collaboration, TRT will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive mobility at the global level, establish synergies with the partnership’s members and have access to a wide network of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. In particular, TRT will collaborate with them by participating to development of reports and studies, sharing our work and results with partners working on similar issues, and much more.

The H2020 funded project HARMONY concludes with the final conference in Barcelona. 20 partners from 9 different countries worked together to enable metropolitan area authorities to lead a sustainable transition to a low-carbon new mobility era. The HARMONY Model Suite has been implemented by linking models at strategical, tactical and operational levels, leading to a spatial and multimodal planning tool. A mobile application – the MOBY App – has been developed to collect urban transport data, to be used in the Activity-Based model, one of the most recent modelling algorithms to simulate mobility habits.

WORKSHOP – Turin, November 14th, 2022 – 10.45-15.30   HARMONY is a European project funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Programme. It began in June 2019 and is scheduled to end in February 2023. The consortium, coordinated by the University College of London, consists of 21 partners from 9 European countries. HARMONY’s main goal is to develop a new generation of harmonised spatial and multimodal transport planning tools which comprehensively model the dynamics of the changing transport sector and spatial organisation, enabling metropolitan area authorities to lead the transition to a low carbon new mobility era in a sustainable manner.

The H2020 funded project HARMONY aims to develop a new generation of harmonised spatial and multimodal transport planning tools, to represent new forms of mobility for freight and people, enabling metropolitan areas authorities to lead the transition to a low carbon new mobility era in a sustainable manner.

Rail Baltica is a rail transport infrastructure project that integrates the Baltic States in the European rail network connecting Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland. It is a fully interoperable railway line of more than 870 km in length designed for both passenger and freight transport and planned to become operational in 2027. The Rail Baltica transport demand model project, led by TRT, has developed and implemented a multimodal transport model to forecast the passenger and freight demand for the Rail Baltica infrastructure up to the year 2056.

How much will the transition to sustainable urban mobility cost in European cities? Which benefits and changes in mobility will it bring? What will be the most cost-effective policies to accelerate this transition? These are some of the questions that a new study from TRT Trasporti e Territorio has been replying to. The study, commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility and released today, produced a quantification of the costs and benefits of the transition to sustainable urban mobility in European cities by 2030 and 2050. The analysis was carried out with the modelling tool MOMOS, which allowed to assess the impacts of different mobility transition scenarios.

TRT is organising a Global knowledge exchange online event on 16 and 17 September, a cooperation between the World Bank Group and the CIVITAS initiative. E-mobility stakeholders from Latin America and Europe will come together to share perspectives and discuss policy pathways for the deployment of e-buses in urban public transport fleets.   Have a look to the programme and register for the event following this LINK!! The event will be organised in English, Spanish and Portuguese.  

TRT supported the city of Tirana in the development of their first SUMP! The study was part of SUMSEEC II initiative, funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and implemented by GIZ. Have a look to the case study published today on the Eltis Portal!
