Dear members,
It was a pleasure to see so many of you in Paris at the very first meeting of our new Governance working group!
Policy approaches for transport innovation and disruption and how to make the most out of the technology revolutions that have an impact on our cities were discussed on day 1, together with Philippe Crist, Senior Advisor for Innovation and Foresight at the OECD’s International Transport Forum (ITF). On the second day Paris, Ghent, London and Madrid shared their experiences with urban vehicle access regulations to address air quality and congestion challenges. The meeting ended with a test journey on board of the new autonomous shuttles at La Défense (Paris). Presentations will be uploaded shortly here.
We are glad to inform you that last week we released the draft programme of the 2018 Annual Polis Conference. Please, make sure to secure your seats as soon as possible for our annual highlight which will take place on 22-23 November in Manchester, UK.

Last but not least, we would like to invite you to our next Parking Working group meeting in Prague on 14 September 2018. The meeting will be preceded by the EPA-Polis annual urban workshop on the 13th, which will gather about 80 professionals discussing recent developments in parking.
