Transport policy co-creation is about designing mobility policies together with the people they affect, rather than leaving all decisions to government experts or planners. It’s a collaborative process where citizens, local authorities, transport operators, businesses, and researchers share ideas, data, and experiences to shape better policies.

• More Inclusive: People who actually use buses, bikes, roads, or trains get a chance to share real-life challenges and needs.

• Better Decisions: Policies benefit from multiple perspectives — technical, social, and environmental — leading to more balanced solutions.

• Higher Acceptance: When citizens and stakeholders are part of the process, they are more likely to support and adopt new measures.

• Innovation: New ideas often come from outside traditional government circles, sparking fresh solutions for complex transport problems.

• How it Works ?

1. Engagement – Workshops, public consultations, online platforms, and participatory apps invite input from citizens.

2. Data Sharing – Authorities share open data (traffic flows, air quality, accident hotspots), while citizens may contribute through surveys, apps, or sensors.

3. Policy Experimentation – Different transport measures (like low-emission zones, school streets, or bike lanes) can be tested through pilots or visualisation tools.

4. Feedback & Adjustment – Stakeholders review results and suggest changes before final policies are adopted.
