This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The objective of Ele.C.Tra project (Electric City Transport) is the promotion of a new urban mobility model with common characteristics among the partner cities so that it can be easily implemented in other cities and regions. The project includes 3 pilot actions with 90 electric scooters and full model set up (signs, parking system, users services, etc). Additionally, one of the main outputs of the project was the creation of a GIS web platform which provides data for all pilot and non pilot cities of the project. Through this platform the end-users will have access to the facility map and its services (pickup and delivery points of e scooters, parkings, and recharge stations). Within the project an e-vehicle exhibition took place in the municipality of Rafina in order to introduce to the citizens and public/private bodies and institutions the electric vehicles, scooters and bicycles and promote the idea of electromobility in Greece. The participants could also drive these type of vehicles in order to have a real experience and get familiar with the new technology which will influence the urban and touristic transportation in the future.
