Quality Management tool for urban Energy efficient Sustainable Transport

Many European cities are facing challenges when it comes to set up and implement truly sustainable mobility policies and measures. QUEST is a Quality Management tool developed to help small and medium-sized cities to set up and further develop their sustainable mobility policies and actions with the assistance of an external expert – the QUEST Auditor. QUEST supports European cities in making real progress towards a more sustainable urban transport system, and helps them to find solutions for achieving the desired goals.The QUEST methodology used in this process is described in more detail in section QUEST AUDIT. Based on the results of the QUEST audit and self assessment, a tailor made ACTION PLAN is recommended for each city. The focus of the improvement program is directly linked to the present state of urban mobility policies. Cities that complete QUEST successfully will receive a QUEST Certificate which recognises their efforts in sustainable urban mobility planning. Nearly 50 cities from all over Europe have been involved in QUEST, demonstrating that there is much demand for advice on urban mobility planning.
