EMBRACER is a region-driven project where seven underserved regions have committed to integrate public transport (PT) with informal modes (cycling, ride-hailing, car/bike/scooter sharing, on-demand transport, autonomous shuttles) to enhance the interconnection with urban areas and achieve seamless intelligent climate-resilient regional and local intermodal mobility. In EMBRACER, TTS Italia contributes to the design of policy changes and implementation actions of the policy instruments addresses. TTS is also the Communication Manager of the project.
	GEMINI (Greening European Mobility through cascading innovation INItiatives) is a 42 months project funded within the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme. GEMINI’s vision is to accelerate the progress towards climate neutrality by reinforcing a modal shift through the demonstration and uptake of new shared mobility services, active transport modes, and micromobility and their integration with public transport in new generation MaaS services. GEMINI will contribute to Inclusive, Safe, Resilient Transport and Smart Mobility services for passengers and goods. TTS Italia is involved in the Turin Mobility Living Lab activities, implementing and testing a multi-regional and cross border MasS (Piemonte, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Slovenia).
	IN2CCAM (ENHANCING INTEGRATION AND INTEROPERABILITY OF CCAM ECO-SYSTEM) is a 3-years project (November 2022 – October 2025) funded by the EU Commission within the Research and Innovation programme Horizon Europe. The project aims to implement and demonstrate innovative services for connected and automated vehicles, infrastructures and users. The goal is providing benefits to all citizens by implementing a full integration of CCAM services in the transport system. TTS Italia is responsible for the public engagement strategy, the governance models and regulatory and policy recommendations for future, and is also involved in the dissemination and exploitation activities.
	KEYSTONE (KNOWLEDGEABLE COMPREHENSIVE AND FULLY INTEGRATED SMART SOLUTION FOR RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND OPTIMIZED TRANSPORT OPERATIONS) is a 36 months project funded within the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme. The overreaching goal of KEYSTONE is to support the development of a sustainable, efficient, and safe transport system, allowing enforcement authorities to access data for the purpose of checking compliance with rules applied in the transport of goods and passengers. The aim is to tailor standardised digital solutions that can be used from several realities to standardize the transport system. To demonstrate the validity of the solutions proposed, an app will be developed so that two highly diverse pilots can prove the efficiency of the KEYSTONE’s innovation. TTS Italia is especially involved in the development of Guidelines for operators, authorities, stakeholders and in the replicability activities.
	SCALE (Strengthening C-ITS Adoption and Lining-up across Europe), kicked off in October 2024, is a 52-month CEF-funded project. SCALE aims to enhance the deployment of mature C-ITS services and support the technical development and large-scale impact assessments of new C-ITS use cases in 10 operational sites. To address the persistent issues and challenges hindering the industrialisation of the ecosystem in Europe, the project will put in place the right incentives to drive the transition towards this new generation of road transport and mobility services and thus contribute to ensuring European leadership on this issue. TTS Italia is in charge of the communication and dissemination activities of the project, as well as socio-economic assessments in the context of the pilots.
	SHOW (SHared automation Operating models for Worldwide adoption) is a project funded under the H2020 Research and Innovation Programme, launched in January 2020 and lasting 4 years, coordinated by UITP (International Association of Public Transport). The SHOW project aims to advance sustainable urban transport through technical solutions, business models and priority scenarios for impact assessment, by deploying shared, connected, electrified fleets of automated vehicles in coordinated Public Transport (PT), Demand Responsive Transport (DRT), Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Logistics as a Service (LaaS) operational chains in real-life urban demonstrations all across Europe. TTS Italia supports Links foundation within the dissemination activities of the national pilot and managing the relationship with the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.
	SPOTLOG ( Green and Socially resPOnsible ciTy Logistics InnovaTions)is a project with a duration of 48 months (March 2023- May 2027)cofounded by the European Commission in the frame of the Interreg Europe Programme. SPOTLOG’s main vision is to involve local communities in creating socially responsible logistics systems, based wherever possible on zero-carbon modes, through the intelligent use of all available resources and taking advantage of the digitalisation of goods and passenger transport services. By focusing on low-density communities and medium-sized cities, SPOTLOG partners aim to improve regional policy instruments toward the European goals of inclusive and carbon-neutral mobility. In SPOTLOG, TTS Italia will provide freight forwarders, logistics operators, and shipping companies with adequate instruments and information to contribute to low-emission last-mile delivery schemes; support institutional bodies to dene relevant multiscale policies and integrated logistics-mobility strategies; sustain collaboration and training on last-mile deliver concepts and solutions.
