Soft Measures & Actions for behavioural Change and Knowledge to Embrace peripheral and Rural areas

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-11-15

Description

Description (EN):

Peripheral and rural areas suffer disparities in mobility all around Europe. SMACKER will address those disparities to fill the gap and to promote public transport and mobility services able to be demand-responsive and to connect local and regional systems to main corridors and transport nodes. SMACKER will assess main barriers and bias and address them by providing solutions that draw on the best international know-how. Soft measures (behaviour change campaigns) and hard measures (mobility service pilots) will be used to identify and promote eco-friendly solutions for public transport in rural and peripheral areas to achieve more liveable and sustainable environments, better integration of the population to main corridors and better services feeding main public transport. SMACKER will help local communities to (re)design transport services according to users’ need (co-design) and to nudge people (residents and incoming) to use them, by providing motivating and incentive giving campaigns. Direct beneficiaries of the actions will be residents, incoming travellers and commuters. SMACKER will address local communities in partners’ area using a comprehensive approach, by scaling local problems to a broader European level and importing solutions and expertise able to find and suggest the most suitable answers for most of the mobility needs. Solutions will address and enhance planning and coordination capacity of partners and local/regional stakeholders. SMACKER will introduce innovations in actions such as for instance nudging, gamification, co-design, branding and information technologies. Campaigns and pilots will be aligned with local SUMPs requirements and related KPIs in order to provide a substantial and measurable contribution to strategical objectives. SMACKER will also have a strong focus on transferring lesson learnt and success stories behind its borders, by involving other similar areas and arranging dedicated events and tools for dissemination.

Achievements (EN):

SMACKER project aimed at addressing disparities in mobility in peripheral and rural areas, designing and promoting efficient and sustainable public transport services. Main Outputs achieved are: finalization of pilot implementations in the 6 pilot regions in Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary and Austria, 4 of which include also investments on equipment; release of 6 Regional Action Plans to better integrate peripheral areas using DRT; delivery of 10 transnational trainings to non-partner CEU Authorities; preparation of 4 Guidelines on DRT planning and implementation for Policy Authorities, Public Transport Service providers, Users, Business & Enterprises; creation of the SMACKER online Toolbox that is the long-lasting inheritance of the project. During the final period, the activities in the 6 pilot areas were completed: operations were accompanied by ad-hoc nudging&communication initiatives and were constantly and successfully adapted to the evolving COVID19 pandemic. SMACKER also completed its “Growth and Expand” initiatives: the ETP with 10 selected followers, who prepared their DRT development Action Plans under the SMACKER guidance, the SQPM-On-Tour activities, with its 12 events. The project outcomes were also presented at POLIS Conference in Goteborg in December 21. The SMACKER Final event, a public conference, was held in Vienna on 24 May 22 and was attended by 60 participants.

Expected Results (EN): R 4.1 Status of coordinated planning capacities of the public sector and related entitites for regional passengers transport systems linked to national and European transport networks achieved through transnational cooperation.

Expected Outputs (EN):

SMACKER targets policy makers, authorities and service providers in mobility at local level. Its main result is the capacity building of the involved bodies and stakeholders in low-carbon DRT planning, promotion and implementation. These results are accomplished by ensuring that each partner area develops a new plan and implement new measures to answer local challenges in low density areas such as: 1) Bologna for local commuting and tourism in mountainous area 2) Gdynia for residential suburbs connection with commuting needs 3) Suchdol for commuting suburban area with University campus 4) Murska Sobota for cross border and local mobility and spa/wellness tourism 5) Budapest for commuting areas with a smarter approach 6) East Tirol for greener tourists and residents mobility. Transnational cooperation will ensure that plans and measures adopted are sustainable and transferable. SMACKER will further upscale to other regions thanks to a call for 10 non-partner 'peripheral' authorities in CE to attend Enlarged Transfer Programme (ETP), transnational trainings devoted to ETP and other non-partner regions (via webinar), 2 public high-quality scientific conferences open to practitioners and decision makers from all over Europe. The main target groups are local authorities, businesses, Infrastructures & service providers, transport agencies, research & education bodies in transport, other stakeholders involved in tourism, productions of goods and service deliveries.
