Imaginez un Transport Efficace et Responsable
With a view to pursuing broad-based sustainability, the project aims to ensure that public transportation services are effective and of high quality even in mountain valleys and to promote responsible behavior regarding personal mobility needs.
Among the activities carried out as part of the project are: a cross-border survey of public transportation options; the distribution of 105 pedal-assisted city bikes to local tourism operators; the installation of a network of Hot Spot for free internet access at major bus stops and in the town squares of the municipalities within the Grand Paradis Mountain Community; a rental service for pedal-assisted mountain bike for visitors to the Gran Paradiso valleys; the development of the “Valli del Gran Paradiso” smartphone app, designed to help users explore the region and find public transportation options for reaching the Aosta Valley, the Gran Paradiso Valleys, and getting around the area; support for the development of the “SVAP Bus” smartphone app, which provides real-time information on bus arrival times at stops; and the organization of numerous events and initiatives to promote sustainable mobility.
