SMART COMMUTING, that started in June 2017 and ended in May 2021, has fostered a coordination structure at functional urban area level and involved municipalities of surrounding territories and public transport companies. This coordination structure helped to achieve sustainable planning and more internal coordination. Various joint actions – SWOT analysis, institutional platform at functional urban area level, training and capacity building process, pilot actions – supported the expected change, since consisted in the enhancement of public sector’s capacity of sustainable mobility planning, and were combined with some concrete solutions to make central European functional urban areas more liveable, free-carbon and attractive. In European cities, the daily commute to and from work is a major energy consumer. SMART COMMUTING encouraged coordination between public transport companies, city officials and other stakeholders to develop a holistic approach to planning more energy efficient transportation in urban areas. Training for public sector workers, expert analyses and the creation of institutional platforms supported a better planning of sustainable transport. Outputs involved a transnational strategy to promote a smarter commuting, and institutional platform, 14 pilot actions for low-carbon mobility in functional urban areas and 15 training events on low-carbon solutions were implemented. This project was funded under Interreg Central Europe. https://programme2014-20.interreg-central.eu/Content.Node/SMART-COMMUTING.html
