3. Expectations from DG Move
Meeting with Claire Depré on 27th January Participants: Claire Depré, Piotr Rapacz (DG MOVE), Gabriele Folli, Filip Sand Dalengaard, Ivo Cré & Nicolas Hauw (Polis)
General agreement: the CIVITAS community and DG MOVE needs the PAC for a holistic and forward-looking approach towards urban mobility game-changers and citizen acceptance

4. Priority topics for the PAC
SUMP and strategy planning: Linking SUMPs with SEAP to further integrate electromobility. Links between cities and Member States for full roll-out of local/regional SUMPs. Also, conditioning EU grants in urban mobility with pre-existence/deployment of a SUMP?
ITS/ICT: Information to users and payment (standards and interoperability)
Demand management systems, ITS and data mining. Suggestion from EC to think about recommendation towards local centralized dashboards for data and indicators in the urban transport system.
Clean/alternatively-fueled vehicles and infrastructure. Questions related to governance, infrastructure investment and public procurement.
New mobility services (i.e Mobility as a Service), public transport on-demand or sharing services.
First and last mile logistics.
Safety of vulnerable road users, in particular cyclists. Interest to address vulnerable road users when deploying connected vehicles.

5. Expectation from DG Move (2)
On SUMP activities, suggestion by the EC to extract policy recommendations on the priority topics from current/recently finished CIVITAS projects. Possible role for Advisory Groups in this context.
Suggestion to meet the PAC members if present during next SUMP Conference in Dubrovnik (22/23 March).
Suggestion by EC to get the PAC more involved in International EU/US activities by sharing knowledge.
Suggestion by EC to liaise with Bulc’s newly appointed cabinet member that works on urban mobility , Dunja Perko

6. Informing the PAC Thematic Groups Advisory Groups 10 CIVITAS themes
4 transversal themes
Broad community of practice
4 invited experts
Informing the PAC
Forum-to-forum pace
Forum 2017: questions to the TG and AG  Forum 2018: answers to the PAC

7. Advisory Groups
Four CIVITAS Advisory Groups (AGs) will be established to ensure a link between CIVITAS 2020 activities and European level urban mobility policies.
The groups will consist of a mix of selected external experts, city representatives, and representatives from the RIA projects.
Close links will be established between the AGs and the Political Advisory Committee. The PAC and the AGs will enter into a dialogue, where specific policy issues can be brought forward by the PAC to the AGs to explore and provide recommendations. Topics of the AG activities will be defined on a yearly basis (from Forum to Forum) in close coordination with the EC and the PAC.
The AGs will work towards concrete outputs, such as policy recommendations, which will be documented for the EC in internal annual reports.

Five living labs will implement mobility measures: Klaipeda (LT), Trieste (IT), Antwerp (BE), Constanta (IT)
ECCENTRIC: The project demonstrates the potential and replicability of integrated and inclusive urban planning approaches, innovative policies and emerging technologies (clean vehicles). Five living labs : Turku (FI), Ruse (BG), Munich (DE), Madrid (ES), Stockholm (SE)
DESTINATION: develops a set of innovative actions in order to implement sustainable mobility measures and actions with the view to offering intelligent sustainable transport solutions for tourists and residents alike through innovation and cooperation with all major stakeholders. Six EU Cities: Rethymno (GR), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ES), Portoferraio (IT), Funchal (PT), Valletta (MT), Limassol (CY)
