Transport Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (PEP)
The Website was set up to address the key challenges to achieve more sustainable transport patterns and a closer integration of environmental and health concerns into transport policies. Three priority areas and related actions were selected to constitute the policy framework for THE PEP:
integration of environmental and health aspects into transport policy in particular in relation to decision making processes, monitoring and impact assessment;
urban transport, involving measures in land-use planning, and for promoting high quality and integrated public transport and improving safe conditions of alternative modes of transport;
demand side management and modal shift and special attention is paid to the needs of the countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) and of South-Eastern Europe, as well as issues related to ecologically particularly sensitive areas.
Useful material, including training material, research papers and links to relevant web-sites may be found in the PEP Clearing House.
What you can find at PEP? (English, French) There is a pretty good training course material with background reading, powerpoint presentations and live presentations . The project has been financed by the EU and draws on the numerous EU studies prepared about public transport. It is called: Portal - Promotion Of Results in Transport Research and Learning. They deal with policy, regulatory and engineering issues in both local and regional transport.
