ELTIS is short for the 'European Local Transport Information Service'. This is a (non-profit) European portal for local transport news and events, transport measures, policies and practices implemented in cities and regions across Europe.
The efficient movement of people and goods is one of the main challenges facing most European towns and cities today. Many initiatives to improve the mobility of people and the distribution of goods in an economically and environmentally efficient manner have been launched over the past few years. In an attempt to exchange experiences, a great deal of information has already been published on the Internet and project reports, yet it is often inconsistent and hard to find.
ELTIS — the European Local Transport Information Service — is a response to this need. An initiative of the European Commission's Directorate General for Energy and Transport (now split into Energy and Mobility and Transport), ELTIS enables the exchange of information and experience in the field of urban transport and mobility.
