Results of the AIM pilot Testing and evaluating the 3 WP4 Guidelines within the pilot application is instrumental to proving their applicability and efficiency in support of carrying through the mobility sustainable development-driven policies Compliance with the Plan of Activities, continuous monitoring and reporting on the performance-and impact indicators as set, are the prerequisites to proving that the objectives under the Pilot Application have been met Carrying on the Pilot Application and replicating it to the other partner LAs will prove the applicability of the innovative know-how developed through the 3 Guidelines in the various specific conditions of 7 EU countries The Pilot Application will be an example of good practice and efficient collaboration between the LAs and SUITS partners from the academic environment and the research centres in the 11 EU countries. 10 Urban Mobility Days 2020 SUITS Multiplier workshop
Conclusions * The utility of the guidelines for innovative financing, business models and partnerships for the three pilot projects: AIM staff through the pilot projects implemented under the framework of the guidelines were able to: increase and optimise the resources allocated, try innovative procedures for financing, new business models and innovative partnerships in the area of mobility; develop an annual and multi-annual procurement plan intended for mobility sustainable development; organise centralised public procurement procedures between local / regional / cross-border public authorities having the same requirements; promote public private partnerships and the collaboration with the private sector; use public financing for research and innovation in a strategic way in order to improve challenge impacts of public procurement; Urban Mobility Days 2020 SUITS Multiplier workshop
