Welcome!
Welcome to the website of the European project ISEMOA.
ISEMOA is developing standardised Quality Management schemes to support municipalities, cities and regions in their efforts to improve the accessibility of public spaces and public transport.
All travellers, but especially those people with reduced mobility (PRM)*, often depend on a car for all their daily trips, due to the barriers they encounter in public spaces and public transport. By improving the accessibility of the whole mobility-chain, local and regional authorities can enable people with reduced mobility (PRM) to adopt a less car-dependent lifestyle and use sustainable modes (walking, cycling, and public transport) instead. Thus by improving the accessibility of public spaces and public transport, local and regional authorities can also achieve energy savings in transport. Furthermore, improving the accessibility of public spaces and public transport increases the quality of life and the attractiveness of the city or region for inhabitants and visitors.
* PRM make up around a third of the European population and include people with disabilities, people with temporal impairments, people with small children, older people, people with heavy or bulky luggage, people with communication problems, etc.
ISEMOA, short for “Improving seamless energy-efficient mobility chains for all”, is co-funded by the European Union under the IEE 2009 STEER programme, grant agreement no. IEE/09/862/SI2.558304, and runs from May 2010 until May 2013.
