City transport is facing challenges posed by the rapid diffusion of new technologies and by occurring socioeconomic and demographic changes. The Interreg ADRION project TRIBUTE („inTegRated and Innovative actions for sustainaBle Urban mobiliTy upgrade“) aims to face such challenges by seeking for efficient solutions and mobility services tailored to citizens’ behaviors and needs.

The main goal of the project is to improve city transport by developing more efficient transport services and sustainable mobility solutions tailored to peoples’ needs. TRIBUTE includes the identification of target groups, external conditions and technical requirements, needed to enable the inclusive use of innovative mobility solutions. Finally, an agreement on a Joint Transnational Strategy for Sustainable and Innovative Mobility in the Cities of the Adriatic-Ionian Region is envisaged.

Innovative methods and tools, such as Living Lab, will be adopted to implement pilot actions to promote sustainable mobility in the following 8 partner cities in the project: Ljubljana (SL), Maribor (SL), Milan (IT), Novi Sad (RS), Patras (GR), Podgorica (CG), Sarajevo (BiH) and Zagreb (CRO). By identifying and involving key stakeholders in the public, entrepreneurial and academic spectrum, as well as the citizens themselves, TRIBUTE will promote public transport and active modes of travel and at the same time reduce individual transport and car ownership in the cities of the Adriatic-Ionian region.

In accordance with the project goals, the City of Novi Sad will implement a pilot project based on creating a mobile application and installing monitors at bus stops, which will provide the users of the public bus transportation system, on a particular line, with the information on bus arrivals and departures in real time, based on vehicle data in which the GPS devices will be placed. Additionally, the users of the mobile application will receive the information on alternative modes of transport (e.g. cycling) in order to meet individual needs in a sustainable way. Novi Sad's "Living Lab", in which the participation of all relevant stakeholders in the field of transport is planned, enables support for the realization of the project in its entirety.
