Learning From MIDAS

The overall aim of the MIDAS training activities is to ensure that the useful results and experiences obtained in the different MIDAS cities in terms of soft measures to reduce transport demand and encourage modal shift will be promoted towards other local authorities across Europe.

MIDAS Training Resource Pack

A Training Resource Pack is prepared by the partners and is used as training material for the workshops. The resource pack is based on local case study material and includes information which can assist other cities in developing soft measures within their own local context, and thus ensure successful transferability.

Deliverable 11, which is the latest version of the Training Resource Pack, made available for the 2nd Training Workshop held in Budapest in February 2008, can be viewed and downloaded here as per the following subheadings:

  1. Training Resource Pack – D11
  2. Training Resource Pack – Education & Awareness
  3. Training Resource Pack – Participation & Consultation
  4. Training Resource Pack – Information, Advice & Marketing
  5. Training Resource Pack Planning & Coordination
