ELTIS is an interactive guide to current transport measures, policies and practices implemented in cities and regions across Europe.

The aim of ELTIS is to support a practical transfer of knowledge and exchange of experience in the field of urban and regional transport in Europe and so help create a more sustainable living environment, one which provides greater accessibility and mobility to its inhabitants.

ELTIS is designed for everyone involved in improving mobility, transport efficiency and safety as well as reducing the environmental impacts of transport, in particular transport policy-makers and managers, transport operators and user groups.
