Communication services and promotion of the activities of the project “MOVE IT like Lublin – A Chisinau public transport sustainable development initiative”

Providing qualitative, efficient and effective public transport is one of the biggest challenges for public authorities in all countries and Chisinau is no exception in this respect. The existing legal framework at national level is insufficiently clear with regard to the options of organizing and managing the public transport system. The regulatory framework is affected by a lack of specific provisions on the operation of urban transport and enforcement mechanisms, as well as a lack of policies for the sustainable development of public transport.

In December 2020 Chisinau City Hall initiated a partnership with Lublin City Hall (Poland) called “Move it Like Lublin – a Chisinau Sustainable Development Initiative”. The financial support for this project is provided by the European Union. The Project’s activities aim at supporting the local authorities in Chisinau to transform the city’s public transport into more inclusive, safer, more resilient and more sustainable transport. It has 3 main objectives: 1) improving urban transport policy at municipal level; 2) increasing the institutional capacities of Chisinau City Hall, in line with EU practices in the field of urban mobility; 3) enhancing the quality of public transport management in Chisinau by implementing innovative solutions and technologies.
