Co-Operation of Networks for the Creation of Effective Policies for Transportation
The European Commission’s Transport White Paper identified a number of issues that need to be addressed for the sustainability and competitiveness of Europe’s transportation system. Principal among these is the need to "place users at the heart of transport policy" and "shifting the balance between modes of transport", from road-based transport to rail, sea and inland waterways. The overall objective of this project is to create more effective regional transportation policies and strategies to aid regional development. By encouraging and facilitating the transfer of good practice in sustainable transport, and its consequent adoption by partner regions, CONCEPT also aims to help the European Commission meet the targets mentioned above.
