Publishable Report 1 EXECUTIVE PUBLISHABLE SUMMARY The VIVALDI project was developed to address the objective of “increasing the urban transport system’s sustainability and efficiency through radical strategies for Clean Urban Transport” (CIVITAS). The project demonstrated an integrated package of innovative transport measures in five EU cities (Aalborg, Bremen, Bristol, Kaunas, and Nantes), and assessed their contribution to improving the four key urban policy goals of urban vitality and economic success, social inclusion, health and well being, and sustainability (please refer to Chapter 2 for further details). The project was divided into 12 workpackages, four to co-ordinate the overall work (described in Section 3.1), and eight to manage the implementation of the clean urban transport measures, designed to match the policy strategies defined by CIVITAS: • New forms of vehicle use • Goods distribution • Stimulation of collective modes • Clean vehicles • Demand management • Mobility management • Information services • Access management Section 3.2 of this report details some of the 69 key measures carried out at the 5 sites, and their integration within the overall CIVITAS policy strategies and a number of locally defined “integrated packages”. Examples include: Travel info terminal, Aalborg Car sharing vehicles, Bremen Freight consolidation, Bristol PT scheduling, Kaunas CNG bus, Nantes This report also looks at the VIVALDI project’s use of resources (Chapter 4), both in terms of financial budgets and personnel use. During the implementation and evaluation of the project measures, around 98% of the financial resources were expended and a little over the projected total of person months. - 4 - D12 VIVALDI GRD1-2001-40060 Final Publishable Report In Chapter 6, alongside how the work of VIVALDI will be up-scaled and disseminated by the sites in the future, each of the site managers gives a personal view of the success of the project in their city, and how this fits with the aims of CIVITAS at a European level. Chapter 7 contains a summary of how the networking opportunities offered
