The document discusses opportunities for cooperation and finance in smart urban mobility. It outlines the European Commission's objectives of developing accessible, competitive, clean smart cities with sustainable, interconnected, data-driven urban transport systems tailored to users' needs. It provides an overview of current trends, EU funding programs, and legislative and policy tools to support the development and roll-out of innovative smart mobility solutions. Specific actions are proposed to foster open collaboration, focus on intersections of energy, transport and ICT, and facilitate matching of cities and companies through collaborative innovation platforms.

1. Smart urban mobility:
Opportunities for cooperation and
finance
Introduction
Magda Kopczynska
Director
Sustainable & innovative mobility
Directorate General Mobility and Transport
Prague 22 September, 2016

2. Our objectives:
• Smart city: Accessible, competitive, clean
• Smart urban transport: a sustainable (low
emissions), co-operative, inter-connected, data-rich,
eco-system driven by personalised end-user needs.

3. Where are we now?
• Increased demand
• Increased specialisation
• Digitalisation
• Increase of access restrictions,
inter-modality and clean
vehicle support
• Prospects of integrative
solutions

4. e.g. Horizon 2020
• Smart City Calls - cross-cutting
• Smart urban mobility calls - Transport Challenge
• EGVI – European Green Vehicles Initiative
• SME – Fast track to innovation instrument
Key support actions
e.g.
• Civitas Initiative
• The European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities
and Communities
Legislative & non-
legislative
levers
e.g.
• Directive on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels
Infrastructure (2014/94)
• Clean Vehicles Directive (2009/33)
• Sustainable Urban Mobility Package
• Information tools (eg. TRIPS, ELTIS)
Other Funds
e.g.
- European Strategic Investment Framework
- European Structural Investment Funds
- EIB loans and TA facilities – EIB ELENA
Networking and
partnering
Seed-funding for
demonstration

5. Further work needs to be done:
• Urban Mobility gap in Europe: accessibility and
affordability
• "valley of death": developing value and new
business models for investment into innovation
• For joined-up policies and capacity-development

6. 1. Support roll-out of mature
replicable technologies –
foster open collaboration
2. Focus on intersections
 Energy, Transport and ICT
3. Facilitating match-making
of cities and companies
4. Action cluster initiatives to
develop collaborative innovation
platforms (e.g.):
• Smart electric mobility (EV4SCC)
• Smart mobility services
European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities
and Communities – building a market place

7. One example:
Electromobility market place
EV4SCC 7

8. ELENA
 Is a technical assistance programme covering up to 90% of the
technical support costs to prepare large, innovative, energy
efficiency and renewables projects in construction and transport.
 Helps get financing especially from private investors
 The Commission is giving ELENA €15 million for the transport sector
over 2016-2017

JESSICA
 Is an advisory service which supports sustainable urban
development with financial engineering mechanisms
 Member States can choose to invest some of their EU structural
fund allocations in revolving funds
 Contributions from the European Regional Development Fund
(ERDF) are then allocated to Urban Development Funds (UDFs)
which invest them in public-private partnerships or other projects
