The metaCCAZE project is driving forward the transformation of urban mobility by developing and implementing zero-emission shared mobility solutions across European cities. A key aspect of this mission is its close partnership with the CIVITAS Initiative, a programme that has been a significant force in promoting sustainable urban transport in Europe since 2002.
Aligning Goals and Driving Change Together
For over two decades, the CIVITAS Initiative has built a solid reputation as a leader in advancing sustainable urban mobility. By connecting more than 300 cities and providing a platform for political leaders, urban mobility experts, and community members to collaborate, CIVITAS has consistently aligned its efforts with the European Commission’s goals. This collaborative network is exactly what metaCCAZE seeks to leverage as it accelerates the adoption of smart, electric, and connected mobility systems.
metaCCAZE is focused on developing scalable, resilient technological solutions that integrate electrification, automation, and connectivity into urban transport systems. These innovations are crucial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a major contributor to climate change. CIVITAS, with its extensive experience in promoting clean and energy-efficient urban mobility, brings valuable insights and a network of cities that can help bring these solutions to life.
The partnership between metaCCAZE and CIVITAS is practical and outcome-oriented, aimed at delivering real-world results. By testing and demonstrating zero-emission mobility solutions in four leading cities, metaCCAZE aims to benefit from CIVITAS’s expertise in localised urban mobility innovation. The goal is to ensure these solutions can be effectively transferred to other cities, making a broader impact across Europe.
Collaboration in Action
metaCCAZE and CIVITAS are deeply committed to engaging a broad spectrum of stakeholders—including local authorities, industry professionals, and citizens—to ensure that the shift towards sustainable urban mobility is both inclusive and widely embraced. A key example of their collaboration is the upcoming CIVITAS Forum in Parma, where the metaCCAZE project will be showcased alongside other innovative mobility initiatives supported by CIVITAS. This partnership enhances the exchange of skills and knowledge, empowering cities to drive the transition to a greener, more connected future.
By working together, metaCCAZE and CIVITAS are not only transforming urban transport but also contributing to the creation of healthier, more sustainable environments. Their combined efforts are laying the groundwork for urban mobility systems that address the challenges of today while preparing for the needs of tomorrow.
