Under her own steam: Closing the mobility gender gap

Our transport systems have been built by men, for men. However, this is fast changing; what began as a trickle, turned into a stream, then a tide.

POLIS, UITP and EMTA publish joint opinion on EU-wide integrated ticketing

In a joint statement, the three organisations have outlined key principles for the digital integration of transport services across Europe.

COVID-19: Keeping things moving

As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolds, local authorities are stepping forward into the frontlines. This crisis is being tackled in our hospitals, but also in our streets and plazas, in our buses, trains and subways.

At Polis we want to help cities and regions navigate these difficult times. In this section of our website, we will collect examples of how local authorities are keeping things moving despite the Covid-19 crisis.
