The Alpine Space is a transit area in a sensitive environment that, by its geographical features, causes special constraints as regards accessibility to transport and knowledge infrastructures. Therefore good cooperation and networking at transnational level is required in order to provide sound project proposals aimed at achieving the following objectives:

• securing a fair access to public services, transport, information, communication and knowledge infrastructure within the programme area;
• promoting and improving access and use of existing infrastructures in order to optimize the economical and social benefits, and to reduce environmental consequences;
• enhancing connectivity for the reinforcement of polycentric territorial patterns and for laying the basis for a knowledge-driven and information society;
• promoting sustainable and innovative mobility models with specific regard to environmental, human health and equality related issues;
• mitigating the negative consequences of traffic flows crossing the Alps.

How should this be achieved?

Through the submission of high quality projects supporting:

• the development of actions supporting integrated planning of transport and mobility issues;
• the improvement of connectivity and increase in the quality and reliability of transport systems;
• the transnational assessment and monitoring of mobility effects;
• the development of ICT-based innovative public services for citizens and economy.
