LIFE POPULAIR
LIFE POPULAIR – POPULAIR is a Slovak LIFE project focused on improving air quality awareness and public engagement in Slovakia. It aims to educate citizens, stakeholders, and decision-makers about the sources and impacts of air pollution, and to promote behavioural change through targeted campaigns, workshops, and digital tools. By enhancing public understanding and supporting local actions, POPULAIR contributes to cleaner air, healthier communities, and compliance with EU air quality standards
LIFE Sic2Sic
LIFE Sic2Sic – LIFE Sic2Sic is a European project aimed at raising awareness and promoting active involvement in the protection of Natura 2000 sites across Italy. The project uses sustainable cycling tours to connect citizens with protected natural areas (“From SIC to SIC” – Sites of Community Importance), fostering environmental education, eco-tourism, and greater public understanding of biodiversity conservation. Through events, training, and stakeholder engagement, LIFE Sic2Sic encourages sustainable mobility and supports the long-term stewardship of Europe’s natural heritage
CIVITAS Handshake
CIVITAS Handshake – HANDSHAKE is a European project that supports the transfer of best practices in cycling policy and infrastructure from leading “cycling champion” cities to others aiming to become more bike-friendly. By fostering cooperation among 13 cities, the project helps integrate cycling into urban mobility planning through tailored guidance, capacity building, and demonstration activities. HANDSHAKE promotes cycling as a core mode of transport, contributing to cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable urban environments
U-MOB LIFE
U-MOB LIFE – U-MOB (University Mobility Network) is a European initiative that promotes sustainable mobility practices within universities. It aims to reduce the environmental impact of campus-related transport by creating a network of universities committed to implementing and sharing best practices in green mobility. Through training, knowledge exchange, and the development of Sustainable Mobility Plans (SMPs), U-MOB supports long-term behavioral change and the integration of low-emission transport options in higher education institutions across Europe.
LIFE PREPAIR
LIFE PREPAIR – LIFE PREPAIR focuses on improving air quality in the Po Valley and surrounding regions in Northern Italy and Slovenia, one of Europe’s most polluted areas. The project promotes the coordinated implementation of Air Quality Plans across multiple regions, targeting key pollution sources such as transport, heating, agriculture, and industry. Through harmonized monitoring, public awareness campaigns, and policy support, LIFE PREPAIR aims to reduce PM10, NOx, and ammonia emissions, contributing to better health outcomes and compliance with EU air quality standards.
MoTIV
MoTIV– The MOTIV project (Mobility and Time Value) aimed to understand and redefine the value of travel time from a user-centric perspective. It developed tools to collect and analyze individual mobility behavior and preferences through a dedicated smartphone app, capturing how people perceive and use their time while traveling. By shifting the focus from cost and speed to quality of travel experience, MOTIV supported more informed transport policy-making and promoted sustainable and demand-responsive mobility services across Europe.
LIFE GYM
LIFE GYM – Green Your Move (GYM) is a European project aimed at promoting sustainable mobility by developing a multimodal journey planning platform that integrates public transport data across Europe. The platform helps users plan the most eco-friendly, efficient routes by combining various transport modes (bus, train, tram, etc.) and calculating the environmental impact (CO₂ emissions) of each option. By encouraging greener travel choices, GYM supports the shift towards low-emission transport and improved urban mobility planning
LIFE Legal Actions - Legal Actions on Clean AIr
LIFE Legal Actions – The “Right to Clean Air” initiative by Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) advocates for the enforcement of citizens’ legal right to breathe clean air in Germany. It focuses on holding authorities accountable when EU air quality limits are exceeded, particularly for nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). Through legal actions, public campaigns, and collaboration with affected communities, DUH pushes for effective measures such as low-emission zones, traffic restrictions, and the promotion of clean mobility solutions, aiming to protect public health and uphold environmental law.
LIFE BrennerLEC
LIFE BrennerLEC – LIFE BrennerLEC aimed to improve air quality and traffic flow along the Brenner motorway corridor by introducing a dynamic traffic management system. The project tested variable speed limits and lane use regulations based on real-time environmental and traffic conditions. Implemented in northern Italy, it sought to reduce NOx and CO₂ emissions, lower noise pollution, and demonstrate how smart mobility policies can enhance environmental sustainability and road safety in transalpine freight and passenger transport.
LIFE for Silver Coast
LIFE for Silver Coast – LIFE for Silver Coast focused on promoting sustainable mobility in tourist-heavy coastal areas by integrating electric mobility solutions. The project implemented a system of electric vehicles, e-bikes, and e-boats, supported by a digital platform for booking and managing shared transport. Piloted in the Silver Coast area of Tuscany (Italy), the initiative aimed to reduce traffic congestion, cut emissions, and improve the environmental quality of tourist destinations while enhancing the visitor experience.
LIFE GySTRA
LIFE GySTRA – LIFE GySTRA aimed to reduce emissions from road transport by implementing an innovative real-time vehicle emissions monitoring system using Remote Sensing Technology (RST). The project focused on identifying high-emitting vehicles and encouraging behavioral change through dynamic eco-driving recommendations and emissions-based incentives or penalties. Piloted in Madrid and Sofia, LIFE GySTRA demonstrated how real-time emissions data can support more effective urban air quality management and promote cleaner, more sustainable mobility.
LIFE FIT
LIFE ASPIRE
LIFE ASPIRE – LIFE ASPIRE aimed to enhance urban freight distribution and reduce environmental impacts in historic city centers by implementing a credit-based road pricing system and smart loading/unloading bays equipped with reservation and monitoring technologies. Piloted in Lucca, Italy, and studied for replication in Stockholm and Zadar, the project promoted sustainable freight behavior through incentives, reduced traffic congestion, and demonstrated how digital tools can optimize last-mile logistics in urban areas.
LIFE GREEN YOUR ROUTE, LIFE17 ENV/GR/000215
LIFE GreenYourRoute (LIFE GYR) is an innovative logistics platform for last mile delivery of goods in urban environments developed within a multidisciplinary approach of environmental engineering, computer science and operation research.
The aim of LIFE GreenYourRoute project is to deliver and demonstrate, to 5 SMEs in 3 different EU member states, an innovative, smart, and integrated green vehicle routing platform (i.e. an intelligent transportation planning and execution system) for last mile delivery. It includes a set of tools and services that promote eco-efficient sustainable freight transport operations in urban regions, via environmental-friendly vehicle routing decisions. At the same time, it addresses driving eco-requirements as well as operational cost efficiency through an innovative environmental assessment approach.
