Pécs, Velenje, Cluj-Napoca's Enabling City Transformation Activity: ZERO-MOVE – Zero Emission Mobility Initiatives
© City of Cluj-Napoca
Context and Challenges
ZERO-MOVE addresses the urgent challenge of transport-related emissions in Central European cities by integrating advanced technologies with inclusive governance. The project responds to high car dependency, fragmented stakeholder coordination, and limited data-driven traffic management. It introduces smart sensor networks for real-time traffic and freight monitoring, enabling proactive urban mobility planning. Simultaneously, it establishes Transport Coalitions and Policy Labs to co-create sustainable transport policies and formalize emission reduction commitments. By linking behavioural change, infrastructure upgrades, and stakeholder collaboration, the project builds a replicable model for low-emission urban mobility.
Objectives
- Deploy smart traffic and freight monitoring systems
- Establish Transport Coalitions and Policy Labs
- Promote citizen engagement through carbon tracking tools
- Support green freight and logistics accreditation
- Raise awareness via city-wide campaigns and educational programmes
