Transplus seeks to study best practices and to develop planning tools aimed at reducting private car use, fostering public and non-motorised transport modes. The project embraces an integrated land-use and transport planning approach to manage transport demand and contribute towards the creation of a common understan- ding, among European transport and land-use authorities, policy makers and practitioners, of the issues at stake and the possible ways to tackle them by combining policies, neutralising barriers, ensuring compatibility and transferability between countries and cities, and promoting citizens' participation.
