GYM objectives

The objectives of GYM are:
  • To develop tools that will accurately measure the emissions of public vehicle circulating in the EU public transport networks under consideration.
  • To develop tools that will provide the environmentally friendliest journey from any point of the network under consideration (at least Czech, Dutch and Greek) to another by using public transport and optimize passengers’ logistics.
  • To develop, demonstrate and promote an integrated platform that will lead to the decrease of GHG emission production and energy consumption (per kilometre travelled, per passenger) in the European transport sector by reducing the demand for travel by car, making public transport greener, more efficient, accessible and attractive.
  • To change the culture and the commuting habits of passengers by providing an easy-to use service while raising awareness on the environmental benefits.
  • To decrease the CO2-eq per passenger and kilometer.
  • To introduce an innovative policy in the pan-European transport system, based on the efficient co-modality scheme and EU emission regulations.
  • To bring together business, scientists, local and national authorities to deal with impacts of transport on air pollution and climate change in urban zones.
  • To raise awareness and mobilise key local, regional and national actors in order to adopt environmental measures towards sustainable urban mobility.
  • To support networking and exchange of practices at transnational level with the target of environmental integration in policy areas related to transport.
