Aims and objectives of the Call
• The #ChallengeMyCity call provides innovative mobility solutions with the opportunity to perform a
  pilot in a city’s urban environment in real conditions. EIT Urban Mobility is partnering with the city of
  Madrid (Spain).
• EIT Urban Mobility and the city have worked together over the past months to define the priority
  mobility challenges considering the urban mobility strategy and future investment plans.
• Once defined the challenges, they will be addressed by innovative solutions in specific pilot locations
  and funded for a period of 5 months in 2022.
• The pilot implementation will be funded by EIT Urban Mobility and administratively supported by the
  city.
• The impact of the pilots will be evaluated at the end of the pilots' period to assess the potential
  benefits of a long-term implementation of the tested solutions.

Challenges of the Call

• The main objective is to promote the use of greener and more sustainable last-mile delivery methods
  and a better understanding of the use of the new active mobility areas within the city center. In the
  context of specific locations, the innovative solutions will be implemented and tested, and eventually
  impact-assessed to validate a potential replication in other areas of the city.

• List of the city challenges:
    • Challenge A: Logistic hub for green last mile delivery
    • Challenge B: Safety for bicycle paths & monitoring of cyclist flows
    • Challenge C: Monitoring active mobility flows in new urban spaces
• Each proposal submitted is expected to address one single challenge
