Polis is a platform for dialogue and cooperation on current transport issues for cities and regions around Europe. It currently represents around 65 cities and transport operators from 18 European countries. Polis conferences, thematic workshops, publications and in-house expertise create opportunities for its members to exchange experience and forge partnerships among themselves, with the industry and the research community, and to develop innovative solutions. The objective of Polis is to support European cities and regions to improve the quality of life of their citizens through innovative measures for reducing congestion, lowering polluting emissions, enhancing safety, and offering better and equal access to transport services. The Network facilitates access to European initiatives and research programmes for its members, which support investigations concerning solutions for urban and regional mobility, including air quality, integrated transport management, demand management, mobility services, road safety, transport and land use planning, intelligent transport systems, and freight solutions. Research is turned into innovative systems and services to support sustainable mobility policies locally. Polis also provides decision-makers with strategic information and other tools to improve urban and regional transport, and it advocates the development of an adequate policy framework at the European level to achieve sustainable mobility in cities and regions.
