The Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid (CRTM) resumed its activity within the European Project Involve, to tackle the last stage of this initiative that aims to study and transfer to local authorities new forms of mobility management involving the private sector.
After the identification and analysis of good practices in the field of business cooperation for transport management, the Involve project has reached a final phase in which the regions involved will help partners interested to import these good practices through a Regional Implementation Plan.

Apart from Madrid, are project partners Reggio Emilia, Birmingham, Roermond and Maribor.
The Involve project has a duration of three years and a budget of 1.85 million euros, 78% financed by the European Union. Since October 2012, the partners involved have made study visits which analyzed 46 good practice and there has been exchange of knowledge, thanks to the participation of over 250 experts and mobility sector.
