Transit Systems as low-carbon economy Investments for Sustainable Transport - TranSInveST

The overall objective of the proposed project is to identify, analyse, examine, exchange, document and transfer best practices, policies and strategies for the preparation and delivery of investments in low-carbon transport systems, such as urban rapid transit - light rail/tramway systems and accompanying measures, through innovative strategies for sustainable mobility, contributing towards a low-carbon economy, with energy efficiency, decarbonisation, socio-economic cohesion, local and regional sustainable development policies. The ultimate aim is to transfer best practices, policies and know-how from cities that have Tram/LRT systems in operation or are currently in various stages of implementation and/or upgrading, to cities that are considering the introduction of modern Rapid Transit systems & to exchange experience among cities regarding Tramway/LRT system introduction, funding & implementation advances, extension and/or upgrading/modernisation procedures, with policy learning
