The Urban Transport Roadmaps tool was launched at the close of the 3rd Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) in ICLEI Member Bremen on 13 April 2016. The tool allows cities to explore which measures and policies are necessary to meet their sustainable urban mobility goals, and plan realistic and feasible roadmaps for implementation.

To support users of the tool, the Urban Transport Roadmaps project is running a series of webinars in different European languages. The webinars will demonstrate how the tool functions and what the outputs mean for a city's transport policy. There will be opportunities to ask questions and give feedback about the tool.

The webinars are available in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, and Spanish and will take place throughout June. Each webinar will be led by a member of the Urban Transport Roadmaps project consortium and will last approximately one hour. Participation in the webinars is free of charge.

Guidance and knowledge gathered through the INNOCAT project will be used to shape the interactive programme.

Selected European cities will address participants on purchasing eco-innovative catering and food, touching on such topics as: making school food services healthier and more climate-friendly, minimising the environmental impact of hospital catering services, decarbonising vending machines in universities, reducing food waste and packaging, and facilitating market access for SMEs and small suppliers.

Participants will receive information on new approaches to the sustainable procurement of catering services, details of the latest EU policy developments, and get to preview new and emerging technologies in the sector. Training will also be provided on eco-innovative procurement. Participation is free of charge, with limited funds available to cover some expenses. To register, fill in the online form.
