Small and medium-sized cities across Central Europe face similar challenges when planning public transport: limited resources, fragmented data, and growing sustainability demands.

To address these challenges, the OPTI-UP project invites you to a public webinar presenting its newly developed Comprehensive Strategy for Sustainable and Efficient Public Transport Networks in Central Europe.

The webinar will introduce a practical, step-by-step methodology designed to support cities in planning, improving and monitoring public transport systems through evidence-based decision-making, modelling, and stakeholder engagement.

What you will learn:

    • Why a comprehensive public transport strategy is crucial for small and medium cities

    • How the OPTI-UP methodology supports structured PT planning

    • Key tools for analysis, action planning and KPI monitoring

    • How modelling can support better decisions

    • Practical lessons from pilot cities

    Who is this webianar for?
