The first European Network of Mobility Centers was implemented in the frame of the SEE MMS project in order to support the establishment of MC standards and to represent a further step towards professionalization, with a common appearance/symbol helping to spread the services to the clients and attract broader attention.
The main aim of SEE MC NET is to build up a europe-wide network of Mobility Centers with all its benefits and to offer citizens and tourists professional information about public transport and alternative sustainable modes of transport with consistently high quality in order to:
- to make sustainable transport more attractive for both, inhabitants and visitors
- to ease sustainable crossborder travelling
- to improve access to european cities
- to support a sustainable development in european cities
The core of the network is the SEE MMS information platform. The database of this platform is constantly updated and complemented by all MC´s in order to provide information at highest quality.
In particular, the principle objectives of SEE MC NET Infoplatform are:
- to act as a contact point for all european MC´s to offer best information available to all users of public transportation
- to promote and develop Mobility Centers by creating a positive awareness and showing the coverage and availability in Europe
- to ease the access to high quality travel information, especially when travelling cross-border
- to show alternative travel options
- to use skills and resources offered by the single MC´s and to encourage cooperation between the European Mobility Centers
- to be the core of the first European Network of Mobility Centers
The information system is designed in a very user-friendly way and is available 24 hours 7 days a week. The SEE MC NET infoplatform is at disposal of the MC´s staff, PT users, potential PT users, PT operators and all people concerned or interested in transport.
