SUITS will provide to local authorities know-how referring to the construction of investment arguments, so that their sustainable mobility projects may be financed through IFIs, European Funds, Structural Funds, public-private partnerships, other financing schemes, crowd funding etc. It will analyse business models referring to transport and it will offer to the participating cities a practical tool tested to understand, design, refine and apply business models and to identify the most appropriate financing models.
This tool is of assistance to local authorities throughout their decision making in order to identify the most suitable financing to set up business models in the participating cities in order to elaborate a bankable project.
