European Transport Experience
TTR is one the foremost companies in Europe for helping local authorities and other organisations to gain access to European research and demonstration funding programmes, not only in the transport sector but also in energy, environment and social affairs.
European Transport
Since 1992 TTR have been involved in more than 80 European projects with researchers, cities and transport operators around Europe. Many local authorities find that participation in European projects is a valuable way of exchanging experience with other cities, thus providing useful lessons for the development of innovative transport schemes. The programmes provide seedcorn funding for innovation, thus allowing authorities to share the risks associated with measures which are technically immature and need testing in the real-world.
We have submitted successful bids to a wide range of EC Programmes:
- Thermie/Energy
- CIVITAS
- LIFE-Environment
- Transport Telematics
- Transport Policy
- City of Tomorrow
- Interreg
- LEONARDO
- URBAN
- SAVE
- STEER
- Intelligent Energy Europe horizontal actions
- Ecos-Ouverture
- Asia Urbs
- Social Affairs
TTR was originally founded on the basis of European project work. Europe remains a key part of our core business and as a company we have a strong European focus. For this reason the vast majority of our staff have experience in working on European projects.
