INTERCONNECT
Interconnect, an EUSBSR flagship candidate, addresses the challenge of curbing the car-reliant mobility trend in the SB area through user-adjusted and more sustainable public transport services for regional and cross-border travels. The current public transport offer hardly meets customer expectations for easiness and attractivity of regional and cross-border journeys, with scarce range of integrated ticket options for multimodal rides, difficult access to one-spot passenger information and no clear benefits for users when choosing the public transport over car. To enhance car-independent mobility in the SB area the partnership consisting of 9 formal and 10 associated partners from 6 countries will carry out joint capacity-building, pilot demonstration and advocacy actions. These will tackle the three dimensions of public transport in serving the regional and cross-border travels – the demand, the supply and the governance. Through three thematic WPs on: (1) evidence, knowledge and experience; (2) steering tools and business models; and (3) future governance and institutionalisation, the project will deliver innovative multi-stakeholder planning approaches for sustainable public transport of the future and invest in new and more efficient services for no-car travellers both in and between the partner areas. As the user-adjusted and more sustainable public transport services for regional and cross-border travels have a large but untapped potential to stimulate socio-economic growth in the SB area, the project will initiate cross-sectoral dialogue and work out an optimum multi-level governance framework for cooperation on public transport across the borders.
