ince it was launched in 2002, the CIVITAS Initiative has tested and implemented over
700 measures and urban transport solutions in more than 69 Living Lab cities Europe-wide. The CIVITAS Initiative is a programme run by the European Commission, funded under Horizon2020 that helps cit- ies to achieve a more sustainable, clean and energy efficient urban transport system by implementing and evaluating an ambitious, inte- grated set of technology- and pol- icy-based measures.
