What is Eltis?
Eltis facilitates the exchange of information, knowledge and experiences in the field of sustainable urban mobility in Europe. It is aimed at individuals working in transport as well as in related disciplines, including urban and regional development, health, energy and environmental sciences. Created more than 10 years ago, Eltis is now Europe's main observatory on urban mobility. It is financed by the European Commission's Directorate General for Mobility and Transport (link is external).
Under three key themes – DISCOVER, RESOURCES, PARTICIPATE – Eltis provides the information, good practices, tools and communication channels needed to help you turn your cities into models of sustainable urban mobility.
The dedicated MOBILITY PLANS section offers a hub of information on how to develop and implement Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) as the need for more sustainable and integrated planning processes in Europe grows. For more information about this section, visit the About the Platform page.
