CITIES
Read more about the cities' needs.

Gdansk
Gdansk aims to improve the management of municipal parking to better tackle the increased parking demand by citizens & visitors & to reduce parking search traffic & illegal parking. Also, it wants to promote the use of more sustainable transport means to reduce noise & air pollution to improve the quality of city life.

Heringsdorf
Heringsdorf aims to implement an integrated smart parking solution, which sets a benchmark in terms of multimodality in SBA tourism hot spots. Motivations are a) reduced no. of visitors coming by car, b) less parking search traffic upon visitor’s arrival & c) higher share in the use of bikes, shared cars, or public transport during their stay.

Klaipeda
Klaipeda public transport authority (KTT) develops a mobile guidance app with dynamic parking and public transport data to promote park & ride offers. KKT aims to achieve higher share figures for public transport and smart parking solutions in their service area.

Neringa
Neringa aims to solve the parking problems on its territory, mainly caused by tourists and day visitors coming by car, using the ferry, which is the only way of accessing the municipality. Also, it wants to raise public acceptance for park & ride or other greener transport modes (bike sharing).
