U-KNOW and U-TRANSFER

Summary

Developed by UPPER project partners, POLIS and Eurocities, these tools are part of the wider UPPER Toolkit and are hosted on a dynamic digital platform that serves as a central hub for cities, operators, and mobility professionals to connect, learn, and implement. Because a truly sustainable mobility future can only happen when the right knowledge is accessible, and the right tools are in hand!

Lasting legacy of UPPER with U-KNOW and U-TRANSFER

Think of U-KNOW as a central library tailored for public transport decision-making. It offers curated resources, methodologies, and case studies that align with both the EU Cities Mission and UPPER’s broader mobility goals. Whether you’re drafting a policy, refining a SUMP, or exploring behavioural change strategies, U-KNOW helps you with what works, why it works, and how to adapt it. Drawing from real experiences and research, it’s a space for learning through evidence and find inspiration.

While U-KNOW informs, U-TRANSFER enables. It focuses on helping cities take promising solutions from elsewhere and apply them in their own context. Need help adapting a policy or mobility measure? U-TRANSFER provides assessment tools, training, and expert support to tailor best practices to your local needs, based on the experience of UPPER cities and partners. Every city can benefit from lessons already learned — without reinventing the wheel! Sometimes, we don’t need new solutions, we need to adapt the ones we already have.
