LinkingAlps: Innovative Tools and Strategies for Linking Mobility Services for a Decarbonised Alpine space

Mobility

Programme:

Interreg Alpin Space

Purpose and goal of the project:

The main objective of LinkingAlps is to foster the shift from motorized individual transport towards low carbon mobility options such as public transport, railways and alternative modes of transport like on-demand transport. By using innovative tools and transnationally aligned strategies for linking information mobility service, the options for low carbon mobility will be increased, by offering seamless mobility chains for passenger. Mobility information services and travel information across borders, operators and modes will be shared within the project partners, to offer the best option for the end user.

Expected project results:

Main result is increased usage of sustainable mobility through easier access to high-quality travel information and seamless routing information (door-to-door) across borders, operators and modes in the AS (which is enabled through novel technologies). LinkingAlps will result in harmonised, organisational and operational elements (i.e. standards, procedures) for linking the low carbon mobility information services.

It will foster alternative multimodal mobility by providing seamless travel chains (going beyond the own region’s mobility options) through easer accessible information. Finally, an increased number of interoperable, inter-linked mobility information services across the AS area will foster the modal shift and exploitation of PT.
