The event will inspire stakeholders with best practices and innovative solutions to promote the most energy efficient transport modes for both short and long distances. The most energy efficient transport for the short distance is cycling. The most energy efficient transport for longer distance is a combination of cycling and train. Studies show that innovative solutions for the first and the last mile increases the number of persons travelling by train. Inspiration will come from two EU projects promoting energy efficient transport on the short and long distance. (1) Bike2work project (www.bike2work-project.eu) promotes cycling for commuting, (2) the BiTiBi project (bitibi.eu) facilitates intermodality with succesful bicycle-train combinations and best ways of promoting it.
