What:

In order to face ever more complex mobility needs and to provide a complete mobility solution to their customers, public transport companies and organising authorities are building intermodal strategic alliances with combined mobility services such as taxis, bikes and Car-Sharing. As stated in the UITP strategy for the sector, this will help public transport companies to become true mobility providers.

The UITP Combined Mobility Platform invites you to learn how car-sharing, bikes and taxis can support public transport and how a successful collaboration is mutually beneficial. Moreover, it helps to create a culture of more sustainable travel choices by citizens. A special focus will be set on Business travel options through Combined Mobility Services.

What:

World Car Free Day will be an opportunity to find another way for just one day to get around town, leave the car at home and walk, take a bus, train or cycle around town. All this is to help highlight the pollution caused by cars, not just the fumes but the whole cycle of waste and disruption, the noise, delayed journeys, the whole human misery caused by traffic congestion and car pollution. Almost 40% of the transport sector's CO2 emissions are produced by the use of private cars in cities.

What:

The 2010 edition of the ECF Velo-city conference series is the first Velo-city conference under the name Velo-city Global to bring together cycling experts and professionals from all over the world in Copenhagen, Denmark's capital. From June 22-25, 2010, it will highlight the bicycle's potential to enhance the quality of life around the world and to solve global challenges such as congestion, obesity and climate change. By going global in ‘cycling city’ Copenhagen the conference is celebrating 30 years of Velo-city conferences held by the European Cyclists' Federation and the previous host cities.

We have chosen the conference name “Different Gears - Same Destination” because we believe that despite our differences, we are all heading in the same direction. We come from different backgrounds, are at different stages and might have different challenges, depending on whether we live in New York, Rio or Amsterdam, but we share the common goal of getting more people cycling throughout the world

The Pro Walk/Pro Bike 2010 conference's theme this year is Bringing Livable Communities and Regions to Scale. Chattanooga and the southeast region will serve up examples of what can be done in small and mid-size cities and rural regions to make livable communities come to life.

We're looking to showcase good bike/ped projects that were built with stimulus money; trans-discipline approaches to building livable communities; programs and approaches that can demonstrate promising environmental and policy solutions, and ensure meaningful results to the people who are affected; projects that make it possible for people of all ages and abilities to walk and bike everywhere all the time.
