EPOMM

EPOMM is the European Platform on Mobility Management, a network of governments in European countries that are engaged in Mobility Management (MM). They are represented by the Ministries that are responsible for MM in their countries. EPOMM is organised as an international non profit organisation with seat in Leuven (BE).

The main tools to achieve the aims of EPOMM are:

• Policy Transfer: We provide tailor made support to assist direct transfer of the best policies from other countries or from EU projects to each member country.
• Training and Workshops: We organise and arrange trainings, have a trainer and training materials database and award a training quality label to trainings that meet our standards.
• National Focal Points (NFP): our national networks. We help to develop them and foster the communication and interchange amongst them and to the European level.
• This website: containing the most updated and most in depth information on MM available
• Our monthly e-update: this is thematic news providing the actual highlights, mainly from the EPOMM member states
• Online tools: the two more an more popular tools are TEMS – The EPOMM Modal Split Tool with modal split data from over 350 cities and MaxEva, the standard evaluation tool for MM projects.
• ECOMM: The renowned yearly European Conference on Mobility Management takes place every year in a city in an EPOMM member state
• EU-relations: regular contacts with European institutions and cooperations with CIVITAS, ELTIS, the UITP, POLIS and EUROCITIES make our voice heard in Europe.
• EU-Project Networking: EPOMM is an efficient way to disseminate project results from European Projects, through our NFPs, our e-update, our trainings and our website. After a EU-project finishes, the EPOMM-website is the best way to maintain and further disseminate project results.
• Secretariat: through our contact point you are able to get the information you need for your MM-projects.

With this array of tools EPOMM sets the Agenda for MM in Europe and creates a range of benefits for its members. For more info please download the EPOMM brochure.
