Are you in for sustainable journeys?
Almost 300 “green” days, with 62% sustainable trips, and more than 3,500 km walking, by bus or by bike. This is what a group of university students achieved using the Citizen App SPINE in March.
It is the app we have launched in Valladolid as part of the SPINE project.
This initiative, Green Days at the UVA, which we have carried out hand in hand with the University of Valladolid and AUVASA, has allowed students to register their journeys to the university by bus, bike or on foot.
Information for all audiences
Another achievement of the project is making simple and accessible information available to everyone through an interactive touchscreen table, like the one we have installed at the Centro de Vida Activa Rondilla. It is specially designed for older people and groups with special needs. Clear maps, eye-catching colours, real images of stops and both visual and audio explanations… Everything so that users can easily check the most common routes between neighbourhoods and points of interest, as well as information on sustainability and Valladolid’s Climate Mission.
This electronic device has been developed jointly with the Social Services Department and AUVASA.
In addition, at various points throughout the city we have installed a totem made from recycled material and a smart lamppost with a screen to disseminate useful information about public transport.
Exchange in Poland with Gdynia
We will be sharing all these advances next week in Gdynia (Poland), a partner city of the SPINE project, where technicians from IdeVa and AUVASA will be present. The Polish city, with almost 250,000 inhabitants and a similar network of buses and bicycles, will share its management of modal interchange zones and traffic modelling.
What is SPINE?
In Valladolid we continue to move towards a cleaner and healthier city thanks to the Climate Mission. SPINE is a European sustainable mobility project in which the City Council of Valladolid actively participates together with other European cities.
Its full name, Smart Public Transport Initiatives for Climate-Neutral Cities, reflects its purpose: to promote intelligent sustainable transport initiatives to accelerate climate neutrality in cities.
Through SPINE, Valladolid is developing practical solutions that combine accessible technology, inclusive design and citizen participation to improve everyday public transport.
What are its objectives?
• Improve the quality and attractiveness of the public transport service
• Encourage its use among citizens as the preferred mobility option
• Create more direct and useful communication channels with users
• Strengthen the commitment of Valladolid’s Climate Mission with a reliable, comfortable, safe and inclusive public transport system
