Regulating Vehicle Access for Improved Liveability

IRU-Polis Roundtable on Coach Access to Cities

In order to meet the needs of the various groups using coach services, specific solutions are on the drawing board or under implementation: specific coach routing, parking and access planning. Polis network and IRU invite coach transport stakeholders (Polis members and coach service operators) for a direct dialogue about challenges and solutions. Agenda The workshop draft agenda is available here. The workshop will be held at The EGG, rue Bara 175, 1070 Brussels on November 26, 2019. Registration Attendance to this event is by invitation only. Polis members and coach service operators can register here.
