Exchanging knowhow at the national level
David Blackledge, TTR and Marie Launay, EPC
CIVITAS Workshop l 24 April 2012 l Athens l D Blackledge & M Launay
What are the CIVITAS National City Networks?
• CIVINET (CIVITAS National City Networks): A group of national and regional networks that promote the CIVITAS approach at a local level
• Benefits for members: Members exchange information in their own language and within their own legal/institutional context thus overcoming some of the barriers for local authorities and other organisations interested in learning from CIVITAS experience
• Added Value for Europe: CIVINET encourages wider take-up of sustainable mobility measures and policies, and fosters dialogue with the European Union and national governments about transport policy issues, legislation, regulations, and funding

The CIVINET Approach
• A light touch at EU level – emphasis on the national networks
• A National Network Manager and Secretariat for each network
• Generic terms of reference BUT• Each network is established according
to local needs with appropriate links to other national bodies
