9 pat repute guide presentation june15 finalREPUTE101
This document provides a guide to improving energy and transport solutions in rural areas through renewable energy and publicly accessible transport. It discusses how rural communities can generate their own renewable energy through initiatives like community hydro schemes. This energy can then be used to power transport solutions like electric vehicle charging stations and public transport signs. Case studies show how total transport systems integrating different modes of transport, and community-run car sharing schemes powered by renewable energy can help address mobility challenges in remote populations by reducing distances traveled by car. The guide concludes that future rural transport will increasingly rely on renewable energy sources owned and operated at a local level, with public hubs connected by express services, funded by mechanisms like crowd-funding that encourage community participation.
The document discusses strategies for promoting bicycling and non-motorized transportation (NMT) in Cape Town, South Africa. It notes that apartheid spatial planning created poverty and inadequate public transportation. The goals are to increase bicycling and walking through creating a safe network of paths, and to integrate NMT with other transportation projects and planning. Challenges include safety, weather, funding, and competing uses of road space. Suggestions include clear vision, community participation, partnerships, and sustainable funding. Achievements so far include the longest continuous cycle lane in Africa integrated with bus rapid transit routes.
Peter Lindlahr - City of Hamburg - Hamburg's Approach to Sustainable Developm...Shane Mitchell
The document summarizes Hamburg's approach to sustainable development and smart growth. It discusses Hamburg's population and status as a major port and aviation center in Europe. It also mentions Hamburg's goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tons within 5 years. Additionally, it outlines Hamburg's criteria for good governance in managing ecological efforts, providing incentives for energy savings, and using regulation and subsidies. The document then explores challenges in mobility, urban planning, clean energy, and climate adaptation/mitigation efforts. Specific initiatives discussed include investments in public transit, the HafenCity development project, energy efficiency standards, and the Hamburg Climate Action Plan.
This brochure describes the practical experiences of the cities’ introduction and extension of the usage of sharing schemes with traditional bicycles, electric bicycles as well as with electric and hybrid cars. Numerous advantages of sharing schemes are pointed out in the brochure. Besides saving money for the individual and improving the environment, the concept paves the way for multi-modal use of transport systems since the vehicle-sharing concept excels at high flexibility due to the independency of timetables and predetermined routes. Automated sharing systems can reliably be in operation year-round, day and night. Furthermore, the user freely chooses the fastest route to his destination not being bound to bus or train lines. In other words, a vehicle-sharing system adds customer value to the whole transport chain.
DYN@MO (2012-2016) is part of the CIVITAS Initiative, supporting cities to introduce ambitious transport measures and policies towards sustainable urban mobility.

2011 02-01 the sustainable city - presentationplymarch
The document summarizes Bristol's efforts to become a more sustainable city through initiatives in various sectors like transport, education, buildings and community engagement. Key strategies discussed include expanding public transport and cycling infrastructure, making existing and new buildings more sustainable, educating the public through a proposed sustainability center, and providing grants and advice to support community organizations and builders. The goal is to reduce the city's environmental impact and dependence on fossil fuels while improving quality of life.
Despite growing attention to innovative mobility and disruptive technologies, there is a surprising dearth of literature on a quantitative approach to redesign of city building, particularly street and public space reallocation to accommodate these changes. Several strong and direct policies and creative redesign concepts were developed with the help of quantified mobility demand that enables comprehensive review, redesign and reallocation of public spaces to complement the city’s mobility needs. First, redesign existing curb space or lanes towards shared and sustainable mobility uses. Second, reallocate unused right-turn lanes to create space for short and easy access to shared mobility services. Third, reallocate corner spaces and reduce unused local street pavement to create parking laybys for priority users and shared mobility services. Fourth, reuse recovered corner space for publicly accessible bikeshare, enhanced waiting areas, creates places at every street intersection, and green, environmental friendly enhanced streetscapes. Fifth, develop partnerships with private property owners to redesign building frontages and parking spaces to create eco-mobility access points for multimodal options and maintain/operate services to provide access to residents and visitors while sharing unused parking spaces through connected technologies and the untapping of idle capacity. Finally, multimodal quality of service and risk indices were applied to quantify the service improvements of downsized intersections and streets, and frequent location of safe crossing.
The document summarizes the results of pilot projects and demonstrative actions implemented by the Alterenergy project. It describes two larger pilot projects conducted in Albania and Italy that demonstrated integrated energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. It also describes seven smaller demonstrative actions conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, and Slovenia focusing on areas like public lighting, heating systems, and solar energy installations in schools and public buildings. In total, the projects implemented energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy technologies in 18 schools, 4 municipality buildings, areas of public transport, and public lighting across the Adriatic region.

This document discusses challenges and potential solutions for more sustainable rural and suburban mobility. It highlights that while air pollution is a serious issue, many do not see it as a problem and view personal vehicles as providing freedom and autonomy. To make mobility more sustainable, the document suggests promoting more fuel-efficient vehicles, electric vehicles, ridesharing, and multimodal transportation alternatives. It also examines BlaBlaCar as a case study for supplementing railway networks but notes its limitations for daily mobility. The document advocates testing dozens of new business models through an open innovation platform to disrupt mobility and explore innovative solutions.
The document discusses the evolution of marketing from Marketing 1.0 to Marketing 3.0. Marketing 1.0 was product-centric, while Marketing 2.0 became more consumer-centric. Now in Marketing 3.0, marketing must be value-centric and meet consumers' emotional and rational needs. It emphasizes engaging with consumers, building trust and credibility through authenticity, transparency, and responsiveness. Mass connectors and social media influencers are important to target. To succeed in Marketing 3.0, companies must adapt to this new collaborative environment and be sensitive to changes in consumer behavior.

REPUTE (Renewable Public Transport Enterprise) is a European project aimed at developing the use of renewable energy in public transport. REPUTE promotes innovation and engagement in the efficient use of energy in public transport by means of information provision, stimulation of enterprise and behaviour change, and policy change recommendations.
This document summarizes the objectives and activities of the REPUTE project, which promotes innovation and efficient energy use in public transport through information sharing, encouraging private sector engagement, influencing behavior change, and policy recommendations. The project brings together partners from seven regions to apply renewable energy technologies to public transportation. Activities include publishing guides on renewable technologies, holding workshops, and piloting renewable energy projects in public transport.
The BATTERIE project aims to establish more sustainable and accessible transport across the Atlantic Area through improved interconnection and interoperability of transport networks. It seeks to reduce CO2 emissions by exploring smart technologies and alternative fuels. The project has €3.4 million budget and involves 13 partners from Ireland, UK, Portugal, France and Spain. It will develop a web-based journey planner, map availability of alternative fuels and technologies, and design policy scenarios to pilot network changes that encourage more robust and green intermodal transport.
In this edition the focus is Sustainable Urban Mobility. Our region has several good examples of how we can reduce the use of fossil fuels within sustainable urban mobility systems and create liveable cities. The Bulletin both provides examples of technical solutions and innovative campaigns from the UBC member-cities as well as displaying several externally co-funded mobility projects that covers a series of cities around the Baltic Sea Region.
In the editorial Mr Siim Kallas, EU Commissioner on transport and vice president for the EU Commission, stresses the importance of acknowledging also the economic benefits of developing sustainable urban mobility systems. He further on emphasise the necessity to stimulate markets that foster sustainable mobility supplies and the unpredictable future of fossil fuel as the dominant source for our vehicle fleets.

The CycleCities project aims to promote cycling integration within urban mobility management schemes across European cities. Over three years, the project exchanged experiences on cycling policies, developed tools to influence mobility strategies, and communicated results to stakeholders. Key activities included identifying good practices, analyzing mobility management challenges, and creating an online knowledge platform. The project's goals were to mainstream cycling as a basic transport priority and integrate it into city policies. It linked partners from seven European regions to transfer expertise on increasing cycling through interregional learning opportunities.

- Ecofys' experience in developing policies and strategies to facilitate e-mobility adoption and renewable energy integration.
- An overview of global e-mobility markets and the challenges facing widespread electric vehicle adoption.
- Examples of Ecofys' work assessing electric vehicle charging infrastructure needs and developing long-term e-mobility visions and scenarios.
Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private individuals and enterprises. Imagine a system that is actually based on user demand. That is what we would like to see.
To put mobility and transport on the track to sustainability, we have to improve energy efficiency, switch to renewable energy and more efficient modes of mobility, and, most importantly, increase smartness at all levels of the system. In practice, the last point means smart and efficient mobility services, cooperative systems, and intelligent vehicles and infrastructure.
VTT has a toolbox and the expertise to tackle all the key challenges of smart low-carbon mobility. And, to really make an impact, we are cooperating with all the key stakeholders in the field. Let us re-invent mobility and co-create a better future together!
The document summarizes opportunities for sustainable transport funding from the European Union. It discusses the Connecting Europe Facility, which provides grants for sustainable transport infrastructure projects, particularly those that are cross-border in nature. It also outlines funding available through European Structural and Investment Funds for projects related to low-carbon travel and transport. The Horizon 2020 program dedicates significant funds to the societal challenge of smart, green, and integrated transport and provides opportunities for innovative transport projects through collaborative research calls.
This document summarizes a presentation on sustainable transport and mobility for cities given by Hiten Parmar from the uYilo eMobility Programme. The presentation covered:

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Welcome to our third and final Newsletter. REPUTE
(Renewable Energy PublicTransport Enterprise)
is an 18 month project funded under the
Atlantic Area Transnational programme aimed
at promoting the use of renewable energy and
energy efficiency in public transport. A group of
seven partners and two associates from seven
different regions are working together to
become a catalyst for a dynamic and innovative
application of renewable energy to the public
transport sector.
Check out these three highlights from the project!

A BUSY 18 MONTHS
FOR REPUTE.
REPUTE was a relatively short, super focused project that took on the challenging topic
of sustainable mobility in the Atlantic Area. Lacking the economies of scale, found in
the core European countries, Atlantic Area communities are often faced with a sort
of mobility poverty and this is something that REPUTE was concerned with
addressing. Given its short – 18 month duration - the project produced some pretty
impressive outputs.
The topic of Renewable Energy in Public Transport was examined in detail in each of
the partner regions through focused workshops and summaries of these were made
available through the REPUTE website. The project produced a guide to energy and
publically accessible transport in rural areas, which will be a resource for those
looking for innovative mobility solutions suitable for rural communities.
REPUTE developed three Pilot Projects. A really exciting shared mobility pilot project
using electric vehicles powered by onsite solar electricity was developed and rolled out
in twelve towns in Portugal. In Scotland the project ran a personal travel campaign and
also installed solar powered travel information signs in rural communities. The learning
from the project was disseminated throughout the Atlantic Area through a Conference
Tour – details of which you will find in this newsletter.
So, as the suns sets on REPUTE much has been achieved. There is much more to do
however and the partnership is now planning to take the seed ideas germinated during
the course of the REPUTE project and develop them further through new projects and
initiatives.

REPUTE Guide at www.reputeproject.eu.
2. 2
The REPUTE Guide is one of the major outputs of the REPUTE project. The guide was compiled by
Professor Allan Hutchinson and Professor Denise Morrey – both of Oxford Brookes University - using
inputs from REPUTE’s Atlantic Area partners. The guide sets out the unique sets of public transport
related challenges faced by the peripheral communities of the Atlantic Area and provides
recommendations on how to address them.
Sustainable transport requires a radical shift in investment towards providing fast and efficient public
transport systems. However people in rural areas typically travel 50% further than their counterparts in
urban areas and most of these journeys are undertaken by bus or car. It is not economically viable to
serve diffuse rural communities with a regular public transport network. New business models are
therefore required to provide total transport solutions. A number of imaginative schemes exist that
connect to rural public transport hubs through community-run schemes, shared ownership of transport
resources and bespoke on-demand services.
The Guide provides the context and motivation for catalysing transport changes. The regions associated
with the project partners are described, and analysed in terms of energy and transport. Key options for
change such as community engagement, fund-raising at a local level, local energy initiatives and
policies as well as the introduction of cost-effective, energy-saving, technologies are discussed and
demonstrated. The final part of the Guide provides a set of case studies that describe activities and
solutions to particular challenges.

“Guide to Energy and Publicly-Accessible
Transport in Rural Areas”
Portugal Pilot
In the Oeste region of Portugal the innovative and exciting pilot project on shared mobility is well
underway. In the twelve municipalities of Oeste the REPUTE project has successfully installed electric
vehicle charging points and is currently providing cars for use by local residents. Code named MOVE the
initiative is a simple and simply brilliant idea that helps to raise the profile of
shared mobility, electric vehicles and renewable energy.
The vehicles – very cute Renault Twizzys, oozing with personality- are located at positions of modal shift in each of the small
towns dotted throughout this tourist mecca north of Lisbon. The cars are charged on site using electricity generated by a solar
panel close by. Tourists and locals can hire the cars for short trips by registering on an online portal.
The project is the essence of the REPUTE project which aimed, from the outset, to not only highlight and develop the use of
renewable energy in public transport but also create real synergies between private enterprise and public organisations.
Local experts in renewable energy and electric vehicles ZEEV are the providers of the electric vehicles, online booking platform
and charging infrastructure. They worked closely with REPUTE partner Oeste CIM in conceiving and developing the idea. The
Mayors of the municipalities of Oeste also played a key role in bringing the project to fruition. This project would not have been
possible without this cross sectoral co-operation.
Since its inception, this scheme has engaged 300 vehicle users, seen over 5000km travelled with the EVs and displaced of over 1
ton of CO2. It is an idea that REPUTE hopes will be taken up by other cities and towns across Europe. For a flavour of what it’s
all about – check out the Pilot Projects video at http://www.reputeproject.eu/
Scotland Pilot
REPUTE has rolled out two pilot tests of market stimulation in Scotland, in partnership with HITRANS , the regional transport agency for the Highlands and
Islands of Scotland.
The first of these is a test of two transport information signs, powered by renewable energy, located on poles at existing bus stops; one in Aviemore,
Burnside Bus Stop, and one in Carrbridge, Bus Turning Circle. The signs were installed and monitored by Nexus Alpha. The signs which are entirely
powered by solar panels provide real time travel information to HI Trans customers.
The second pilot is a Personal Travel Planning (PTP) project being run by JMP in association with HITRANS. The project took place in key locations
within Fort William and the surrounding communities. The project worked with schools to help encourage children to think about their travel choices
and facilitate modal shift.

Newsletter February 2015
The REPUTE Atlantic Area tour
kicked off in Glasgow on June 9th.
EIGSI engineering school from La Rochelle on the west coast of France was in charge of the design
and the management of the final conference tour which travelled to all 6 regions and 5 countries
involved in the project.
The REPUTE partners travelled on a bus for a full two weeks with 6 stops throughout the Atlantic Area. Starting out in
Scotland and ending in Portugal the tour also had stops in Newry, La Rochelle, Oviedo and Porto.
The enthusiasm and dedication of all partners of the project to be a catalyst for change in how we
re-imagine public transport was the main reason for developing the conferences in each region.
The idea of doing a roadshow through the Atlantic Area was beneficial in a number of ways.
• It helped from a Logistics point of view and also optimized carbon
footprint efficiency: In the Atlantic Area, there is still a lack of
connectivity between cities and almost all of the partners are based
in small medium sized cities. A trip from La Rochelle to Thurles (LIT
location) takes more than 24 hours, 2 planes, 2 buses, and 1 train.
So for each conference, for all partners, it’s a lot of time and CO2
emission. By doing the conferences this way, one day travel and one
day conference, we saved time, money and CO2
• The tour was an ideal opportunity for team building and the
improvement of dissemination : The Repute project was short –
just 18 months long, so by inviting the partners to create and attend
conferences one after another (like rock stars on tour!!) it allowed
them to work together on the bus – broading the content of each
event as the tour moved from venue to venue. The time between
stops was also used to develop future solutions and new ideas
especially for rural territories, so as to continue the work started by
the REPUTE project in to the future
• It’s a trendy idea! Today many organizations (private and not for
profit) carry out communication exercises in this way, and for a
transport project it seemed particularly apt. It also served to
highlight the Atlantic Area on a map to promote it to others who
might not be so familiar with its regions.
• The journey helped the partnership to connect with many
stakeholders from all regions and they were all very pleased to be
an official stop on the tour. The travel time became a fruitful work
time with suggestions for pilots, reports and discussion. New project
ideas emerged and the partnership was strengthened.
On the road
The tour featured over 30 speakers in six
different cities with a mixture of local experts
and well know international experts –
notably Jerry Sanders of Skytran, Rajnish
Ahuja of the Pahle India Foundation and
Guislain Delabie of Ouishare.

Jerry Sanders
Jerry Sanders From SKYtran joined the tour for
two stops. SkyTran is a network of computer
controlled, 2-person “pod-like” vehicles employing
state-of-the-art patented, passive Mag-Lev
engineering to transport passengers in a fast, safe,
green, and economical manner. A NASA Space
Act Company, skyTran uses unique Personal
Rapid Transit (PRT) technology that will
revolutionize transportation and, with it,
urban/suburban living. The first commercial
skyTran guideway will be in Tel Aviv – the Wall
Street Journal’s pick for one of the world’s top
three cities for innovation, economic growth, and
global competitiveness. Other skyTran routes in
advanced planning are in: Toulouse, France;
Kerala, India. View simulations at skyTrans
website, http://www.skytran.us/.
The skyTran CEO joined the tour at Newry and
La RochelleCEO. The skyTran approach to solving
city traffic problems is quite unique. It estimates a
lower cost per km than traditional public transport
modes. Jerry takes the view that people enjoy the
cars because of the privacy and do not want to use
public transport. SkyTran pods provide a
compromise between private car ownership and
mass transit alternatives.
Even if the system of magnetic levitation proves
effective, the main difficulty with this new mode of
transport is how it would impact on the aesthetics
of older cities such as those that we have in
Europe. A network of elevated trackways would
possible have a negative impact on historic sites
and monuments.

Rajnish Ahuja
One of the guests who travelled with us on tour
was Rajnish Ahuja, a young Indian researcher on
clean energy from the Pahle India Foundation
(PIF) New Delhi. PIF is a not for profit, financial,
economic and political research think tank,
dedicated to the task of making India first by
putting India first.
PIF takes the view that there is no universally
accepted development model. Each country has
to take into account its people, its resources and
its socio economic and cultural legacy for effective
policy formulation and implementation.
Rajnish participated on the tour because its ethos
supports PIF work in creating a paradigm shift in
development thinking towards more sustainable
political, economic and environmental systems.
The company has grown from just two researchers
in 2013 to 10 highly qualified specialists today.
For Rajnish the tour was a one of a kind event
focusing on sustainable mobility. The conferences
focused on the sustainability aspect of the
transport systems and the integration of the
transport and IT sector and “ it is clear that a
real time change can be brought about in
traffic management through the use of
Intelligent Transport Systems.”
Rajnish says that “Government agencies can lead
in issues related to transport and curb their carbon
emissions for a greener future. India can replicate
the congestion pricing model on the policy front
and increase bicycle use by introducing iniatives
such as Pedelec shemes. There are many
opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint
and the REPUTE tour was an excellent way
of seeing these first hand – said Rajnish

We were asked at OuiShare to take on the bus tour
and offer some opportunities for cooperation
among the team members of REPUTE. The
prospect of spending some 22 hours on a bus
between La Rochelle (France) and Torres Vedras
(Portugal) both opened opportunities and looked a
bit awkward. How to get 12 people conveniently
work and share useful insights in a bus where you
are supposed to seat 2 by 2, with no WiFi
connection available and a diverse team of people
focused on different tasks or needing to rest?
We used iterative creative techniques to generate
and challenge ideas 2 by 2, then meeting in the
6-person corner at the rear of the bus to collectively
discuss issues.
This time on the bus made it possible to know
better each other, both professionally and
personally, which is a clear asset for future
collaborations. Through iterative creative
workshops we also managed to raise a broad
range of topics for future collaborations and to
reflect on the outcomes of the REPUTE project.
We ended with a 2-hours workshop drawing the
possible basis for a future 3-year project.
There will be more to come about this.
The last outcome of our experience together is that
this mobile and collaborative workshop session
would be a tremendous way of engaging partners
and stakeholders in the future, if this journey were
scheduled right at the beginning of the project.
The program of such a trip could include
collaborative workshops and local study tours
at each (one full-day) stop in a partnering city. In
each city we could invite local stakeholders on to
the bus until the next stop. Those people would
be given the opportunity to engage in collaborative
workshops aboard the bus and to attend
workshops and study tour at the next stop.

flavour of the Atlantic Area Tour 2015
Radical rethink of sustainable rural transport needed in Northern Ireland
The REPUTE Tour took place in Canal Court Hotel, Newry on Thursday 11th June and included presentations from Terry
Waugh, Action Renewables; Jerry Sanders, Skytran; Rajnish Ahuja; Pahle India Foundation Prof. Denise Morrey, Oxford
Brookes University; Robert Brayshaw, Wrightbus; and Ciaran De Burca, Dept of Regional Development.
A panel of world-leading sustainability experts told a Newry audience that a radical shift in towards clean and green public
transport would help preserve and improve rural services in Northern Ireland.
The team of international researchers and industry heavyweights gathered as part of a unique sustainable transport project
that analysed the challenges facing six European regions and is co-funded through the INTERREG Atlantic Area Programme.
Collaborations from the 18-month Renewable Public Transport Enterprise (REPUTE), led locally by South West College, have
resulted in a number of bold recommendations to help policymakers improve the efficiency and accessibility of public
transport in rural areas.
Key findings argue that investment should be directed towards the construction of new rural transport hubs and the
development of cooperative models that allow communities and local partnerships to generate renewable energy for local
transport. The project also makes the case for rural transport to consider using biofuels derived from waste biomass
resources such as spent oils, food waste and farm residues.

La Rochelle conference
focused on alternative
energies in transport
Véronique Seel reports;
The city of La Rochelle, with its many
experimentations about mobility, was the
perfect location for 80 professionals to
be inspired and exchange knowledge
and experiences about Gas, Biogas,
Electricity, Algaefuel, hydrogen
power-togas and also magnetic
levitation. The Vice-President of La
Rochelle in charge of mobility and
transportation Brigitte Desveaux stays
all day long with us and presents the
alternative energy scenarios about
La Rochelle.
Many presentations focused on alternative
energies. Some of the highlights were:
• MEL Lille is now running 428 buses with biogas
(170 millions of KM experience) and almost
300 buses in Nantes Metropole use gas.
Grand Poitiers with 62 buses with gas argued
that the operator will need to consider a range
of factors such as maintenance and
refuelling times.
• Frederic Bataille from Valagro explained
how algae can be the third generation
of biofuels.
• Anne Meyer from UTP has presented a
european overview about full electric and
hybrid buses and the European ZeEUS
project dedicated to experimentations.
• Both presentation of Pr Alan Hutchinson
and Ghislain Delabie have shown that peri-urban
and rural territories have to be innovative in
their approaches, not only on energies but
also on communities.
Véronique Seel from EIGSI said
“This tour was a premiere through Atlantic Area for all
partners... And I do hope not the last! Using travel time
for co-working, inviting out of the box guests in the bus
and meeting new stakeholders every days in all 5
countries from UK to Portugal help us to improve both
the team and the deliverables. European project
especially on policy instrument could begin by a Tour
in their own area”
Jerry Sanders, Shirley Patterson and Terry Waugh
Shirley Patterson, REPUTE Project
Officer at South West College said:
“We know that it is not economically viable
to serve diffuse rural communities with a
regular public transport network and new
models are needed to provide total
transport solutions. This project is about
mapping the best way for Northern Ireland
and other partner regions to capitalise on
imaginative schemes that have been
successfully piloted elsewhere and that
are proven to lower costs.
“Research from this project has found
there are also considerable gains to be
made in terms of affordability and
accessibility from combining technologies
and transport models that have
sustainability at their core.”
Terry Waugh, Deputy Director,
Action Renewables said:
“The context and motivation for a radical
change toward sustainable transport is
very clear. However, as REPUTE has
shown, to do so effectively a number of
elements must be in place including
community engagement, localised energy
initiatives and policies as well as cost-
effective, energy-saving, technologies.
“Sustainable transport requires a shift
towards fast and efficient public transport
systems, but that does not mean it has to
be costly. REUTE has identified a number
of innovative funding mechanisms that
integrate community energy schemes with
transport solutions. These partnerships
have great potential to increase
efficiencies and community development
in rural areas while also protecting
local services.”

Hacking rural mobility challenges -
Ghislain Delabie
When dealing with rural and semirural areas mobility
planners are faced with an outstanding challenge.
This is because mobility and transportation account for
a large part of GHG and local pollutants emissions but
most people do not actually feel like there is an issue
associated with it. There is actually no traffic jam.You
don’t feel (or smell) the effects of the pollution. There is
no point putting coercive regulations in place when the
car is required to cover daily basic needs and provides
both flexibility and a sense of freedom. However actual
social, economic and environmental costs cannot be
minimised, and this challenge needs to be addressed.
There have been few new solutions in rural areas theses
last few years. In-car technologies did not provide
any noticeable improvement. The only improvement in
mobility has come from ridesharing services for
long-distance journey, made popular in France by
Blablacar, now a European-wide company. We need
additional disruptive solutions to make mobility in
rural areas more sustainable and accessible.
If ridesharing has a great potential for commuting, it
needs business models, that Blablacar can’t offer.
We probably need a mix of on-demand mobility services,
cycling and pedestrians routes and infrastructures,
public transport, Open Data, more fuel-efficient cars,
new energy vectors and autonomous vehicles to solve
these problems. We might even need to question what
does mobility represent in such territories, how should it
be dealt with and who should be in charge of
implementing such solutions. We might have to
hack the whole challenge.
To explore the full range of possibilities and business
models, we need a very agile and self-learning
ecosystem where all stakeholders, including local
governments, transport operators and startups
cooperate and learn together very fast. This is why
OuiShare has partnered with key stakeholders to
launch the Mobility Factory, a global platform dedicated
to mobility innovation and commons-sharing.
This platform has a European scope and is currently
mentoring its 4 first high-potential projects.

LOOKING TO
THE FUTURE
A STEP TOWARDS GREEN
AND CLEAN TRANSPORT’
Roisin Grimes of Action Renewables reports from Glasgow
Glasgow was the first stop in REPUTE’s ‘conference on the move’.
The main objective of the event was to apply best practice learning,
from the insights gained in the three REPUTE pilot projects. The
conference hosted attendees from a variety of backgrounds,
including University of Strathclyde, Scottish Council, Energy Savings
Trust and The Knowledge Exchange.
Patrick McDougal, CEO of Nexus Alpha, the company spearheading the
REPUTE Solar Powered Real Time Transport Information Signs pilot, gave a
compelling argument on using solar PV for energy generation in the transport
sector. JMP Consultant’s Tim Steiner and Carley McDowall gave an account of
the successes and areas for learning, from the Personalised Travel Planning
campaign carried out in the project. Over 500 school children in total were
engaged in this campaign.
Nick Lyth, of Green Angel Syndicate, who was assisting with the implementation
of the Portuguese solar powered EV pilot, illustrated the truly innovative and
replicable nature of this scheme.
The afternoon session took the audience in a slightly different direction, with a
focus more on policies and attitudes to public transport and renewable energy, as
well as showcasing the various initiatives being adopted globally to green our
transport sector. Attendees found the presentation from Veronique Seel, from
EIGSI Engineering School in La Rochelle and REPUTE Partner, particularly
insightful. Veronique showcased the results from a unique study, which
investigated the attitudes and behaviours towards public transport use
across the Atlantic Area. Cick here to view the report
http://www.reputeproject.eu/reports/atlantic-area-mobility-study/
Zak Tuk, Head of Low Carbon Vehicles Policy Team in Transport Scotland,
outlined the Minister’ ambitious vision for freeing Scotland from fossil-fuelled
vehicles by 2050. Zak promoted the strides being made in Scotland so far, with
1500 ultra-low emission vehicles registered in Scotland to date, and 600 public,
250 commercial and 100 domestic EV charging points already in place.
Examples of these green transport initiatives took a global trajectory, with an
Indian perspective presented by Rajnish Ahuja, Associate Fellow of the Pahle
India Foundation. This was furthered by Dr Pat Winfield, of Oxford Brookes
University, who showcased the State of the Art REPUTE Guide to Energy and
Publically Accessible Transport in Rural Areas. The guide presents examples of
projects from across the globe, all aimed at making transport greener and more
accessible, particularly in rural areas, where inhabitants travel an average of 50%
further compared to their urban counterparts. There was a real consensus
amongst all in attendance that community led initiatives and rural transport hubs
were the most efficient ways to bridge this accessibility gap.
“The Final Conference of REPUTE project was in the
Oeste Region of Portugal”
Susana Gustavo of Oeste CIM reports from Torres Vedras.
The last event of the Conference Tour of REPUTE Project was on the 19th of
June in Torres Vedras in the Oeste Region of Portugal.
The seven project partners were all present including Portugals Oeste CIM.
At the event the Portuguese Secretary of State of Energy announced that the
Government will change the conventional cars used by the public
administration for electric vehicles, in about one month from now on.
The conference highlighted the achievements and results results of the
REPUTE project, especially the REPUTE Guide which tell us about the
challenges facing publicly accessible transport in the Partners regions and
provide us information about existing renewable energy technologies that can
be implemented. Also at the event the information on the monitoring of the
REPUTE Portuguese pilot-test – MOOVE Oeste Portugal
http://www.mobilidadeoeste.pt/ was presented.
Others speakers were present to talk about their experiences in sustainable
mobility and about public policies and behavior.
The session had about 70 participants and in the end attendees got the
opportunity to drive electric vehicles from the pilot project.”

Building on REPUTE
The REPUTE partnership is actively seeking opportunities to develop the work undertaken during the project There is a real need to
develop low carbon mobility solutions for rural areas and this is particularly pertinent for the Atlantic Area. The REPUTE guide and
pilot projects have shown the many different types of solutions that are available to address this challenge.
The partnership would like to develop 3 or 4 low carbon mobility pilot projects across Europe involving pedelacs, e-three wheelers
and community transport. The project would include investigations of business models, studies of political and cultural attitudes,
policy packages and education packages.
At this point the partnership is building a network of stakeholders within their regions to help create a groundswell of support for
these initiatives. If you would like to learn more about REPUTE or get in touch you can find out contact details on the website
