ACCTRA -ERA-NET Cofund “Urban Accessibility and Connectivity” (EN-UAC)

Purpose and goal:

The project aims to make the city more sustainable, liveable and accessible for everyone through adjustments to the transport system. The ACCTRA project proposes a comparative approach in which two experiments in Austria and Turkey are set up, realised and evaluated in a transnational approach. Exclusive micromobility lanes are implemented in Istanbul and "Open Streets" experiments in Klagenfurt, accompanied by an internationally operative Swedish partner.

Expected results and effects:

Locally applicable guidelines will be developed to enable cities and municipalities across Europe to make street transformations more impactful and acceptable, based on this evidence-based approach and solutions of local participation and communication. These results will then be transferred to the international level and made publicly accessible.

Approach and implementation:

The project is in its start-up period and the kick-off meeting where all project parties will meet is going to take place on June 15. The structure and implementation will be specified in connection with this meeting.
