Resumen
UPPER aims at spearheading a Public Transport revolution that will strengthen the role of PT as the
flagship of sustainability and innovation of mobility in cities, leading the transition towards a
zero emission mobility which will become the cornerstone of climate neutrality by 2030, in line
with the goal of Cities Mission and the priorities of the Green Deal. UPPER will put the Public
Transport at the centre of the mobility ecosystem and will implement a combination of 84 push and
pull measures, acting on the 5 innovation axes that condition user's choices: mindset and culture,
urban mobility planning, mobility services ecosystem, road network management and democratic
governance. These measures will act in 4 different timescales (from shorter to longer-term):
communication, operations, infrastructure and urban fabric. The UPPER measures will be supported by
the UPPER Toolkit (U-TWIN, U-SIM, U-NEED, U-GOV, U-KNOW, U-TRANSFER and U-SUMP), 7 IT tools
combining social and technological innovation that will be demonstrated within the measures in the
5+5 UPPER living labs and twinning sites, with the overall target of increasing the use of public
transport by >30% and the user satisfaction by >25%, leaving nobody behind in the process. This
integrated and holistic approach will ease the cooperation among authorities and operators, offer a
physical and digital environment to test the measures, update the existing SUMPs, optimise the PT
offer in line with user needs and patterns, involve the users in the overall mobility decision
chain, trigger the behavioural change in nd achieve an attractive, efficient, reliable, safe,
inclusive and affordable Public Transport system in line
with the concept of Mobility as a Right (MaaR).
