AND INNOVATION IN TRANSPORT
Our COMMUNICATION
Impact of tourism on transport systems
In the case of tourism pressures on transport systems, it is essential to guide visitors’ choices towards options that do not overload public resources, while at the same time ensuring quality experiences. If we do not have an integrated strategy for the mobility system that serves both tourists and residents, we will always face problems, even when funding is available.
Sustainable Corporate Mobility Plans
We speak in the first person because we have the experience and expertise to recommend more sustainable mobility solutions. Sustainable mobility is no longer a trend – it has become a responsibility, and TIS has decided to lead by example, shares Fátima Santos, coordinator of the Business and Performance Unit.
TIS develops its first project in Côte d’Ivoire
A TIS foi selecionada para realizar um estudo de implementação de transportes públicos em Bouaké, a segunda maior cidade da Costa do Marfim. Este é o primeiro projeto da empresa no país e integra uma parceria com a Swedfund International (fundo sueco de investimento sustentável) e a Artelia Costa do Marfim. O estudo foca-se na criação de um sistema de mobilidade estruturado e regulado, que responda às necessidades de uma população atualmente dependente de meios de transporte pouco convencionais, e que carece de infraestruturas adequadas. O trabalho inclui ainda propostas de investimento em paragens, oficinas e novos autocarros,
Sustainable Mobility: a collective commitment for a better future
Public policies and investments are essential; investments in improving public transport networks made in recent years and planned for the coming years, the ongoing simplification and reduction of fares or the expansion of transport networks on site in various parts of the country (and just to mention some of the actions) are powerful instruments for promoting more sustainable mobility.
New ambassador network aims to make employment in the transport sector more diverse
Female participation in transport sector employment remains low. A new ambassador network, coordinated by Portuguese consultancy TIS, is working to strengthen diversity across the sector.
Cooperative Streets: the project to promote safer, more inclusive and sustainable streets
Cooperative Streets is a project funded by the European Union, delivering results in the promotion of safer, more inclusive and sustainable streets, through cooperation between users, smart technologies and people-centred urban planning.
In Portugal, more than 30 entities participated in this project: municipalities, transport authorities, research centres, public transport operators, motorway concessionaires and technology companies – all working together to promote a collaborative approach to urban mobility.
In this interview, we explain TIS’s involvement in Cooperative Streets and present the changes implemented in the municipalities of Trofa and Cascais.
Pedaling Towards the Future: The Time to Rethink Mobility in Portugal
A revisão dos Planos de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável representa uma oportunidade crucial para Portugal pedalar em direção a um futuro mais sustentável e saudável. É o momento ideal para estabelecer metas ambiciosas de expansão da rede ciclável, integrar a mobilidade em bicicleta com outros modos de transporte e implementar campanhas de educação e consciencialização. Mais do que uma obrigação administrativa, esta revisão permite repensar nossas cidades e nossa relação com a mobilidade. Com o compromisso dos municípios e a implementação efetiva das estratégias delineadas, podemos criar um Portugal onde a
Autonomous Vehicles, the Future of Urban Mobility?
Urban mobility will experience a revolution with the introduction of autonomous vehicles. These vehicles, equipped with advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-precision sensors and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems, promise to transform the way we move around cities. But what does this change mean for ordinary citizens?
Children and the Sustainable Future of Mobility
It is undeniable that school mobility has a significant impact on cities, and although it still does not receive the attention it deserves, the data demonstrates the scale of the problem. For Portuguese cities, car dependency also poses critical challenges, especially at a time when sustainable mobility and decarbonisation are so urgent. Over the past two years, through participation in projects promoting sustainable school mobility in Portuguese municipalities and at international conferences, the conclusion is clear: we must include children if we want a sustainable future for mobility.
Transformation is an Extraordinary Opportunity
The ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach is increasingly part of the lexicon of companies and institutions, though it's not entirely new. It has roots in John Elkington's Triple Bottom Line theory from the 1990s and in Kofi Annan's 2004 initiative, when, as UN Secretary-General, he challenged CEOs of major global financial companies to consider integrating environmental, social, and governance issues into capital markets. In the European Union, transport accounts for about 25% of CO₂ emissions, making it one of the sectors in need of transformation.
