SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
STEP-UP faces the lack of a real sustainable mobility planning by promoting the multimodality in the Programme area. The geographical characteristics of some areas i.e. presence of islands and rural areas, make also integrate connections necessary with focus on inland connections to the coast. Moreover, existing transport connections are often inefficient to answer modern life needs and manage touristic flows mostly during peak season. STEP-UP will transfer the ICT/ITS applications also during low season in other scenarios (e.g. info-mobility system). STEP-UP solution uses all transport modes (train, ferry, public transport, flexible transportation-Demand Responsive Transport, etc.) and combines them to provide a seamless solution. The mobility platform has great potential: it will be ready to collect and integrate other services such as bookingand ticket purchase and moreover, it can be integrated into other portals such as tourist portals or information systems related to events including those at local level. STEP-UP will involve decision makers, practitioners of the intermodal mob
