UPPER aims at spearheading a Public Transport revolution that will strengthen the role of PT as the flagship of sustainability andinnovation of mobility in cities, leading the transition towards a zero emission mobility which will become the cornerstone of climateneutrality by 2030, in line with the goal of Cities Mission and the priorities of the Green Deal. UPPER will put the Public Transport atthe centre of the mobility ecosystem and will implement a combination of 84 push and pull measures, acting on the 5 innovation axesthat condition user’s choices: mindset and culture, urban mobility planning, mobility services ecosystem, road network managementand democratic governance. These measures will act in 4 different timescales (from shorter to longer-term): communication, operations,infrastructure and urban fabric. The UPPER measures will be supported by the UPPER Toolkit (U-TWIN, U-SIM, U-NEED, U-GOV,U-KNOW, U-TRANSFER and U-SUMP), 7 IT tools combining social and technological innovation that will be demonstrated withinthe measures in the 5+5 UPPER living labs and twinning sites, with the overall target of increasing the use of public transport by >30%and the user satisfaction by >25%, leaving nobody behind in the process. This integrated and holistic approach will ease the cooperationamong authorities and operators, offer a physical and digital environment to test the measures, update the existing SUMPs, optimise thePT offer in line with user needs and patterns, involve the users in the overall mobility decision chain, trigger the behavioural change infavour of Public Transport and achieve an attractive, efficient, reliable, safe, inclusive and affordable Public Transport system in linewith the concept of Mobility as a Right (MaaR)
