Become a CIVITAS City
CIVITAS Cities make up a thriving community of over 380+ peers committed to smart and sustainable mobility. Membership is open to all who sign the CIVITAS City Declaration, are a part of a CIVINET or are involved in a CIVITAS project.
How to become a CIVITAS City
To become a member, cities should be committed to introducing an approach to urban mobility policy that aligns with the sustainable, inclusive and integrated ideals fostered by the CIVITAS Initiative.
This commitment is shown by having a local politician with executive power, such as Councillor or (Vice) Mayor, sign the CIVITAS City Declaration. With this in mind, follow these easy steps to join the CIVITAS Community:
- Download the CIVITAS City Declaration.
- Complete and sign the CIVITAS City Declaration.
- Send the CIVITAS City Declaration to the CIVITAS Secretariat at secretariat [at] civitas [dot] eu
Once the CIVITAS City Declaration has been reviewed and approved, your city will receive a copy of the declaration and welcome package from the CIVITAS Secretariat.
It is completely free to join!
