June 2011 - Toledo city is now an official partner of Instant Mobility!

Instant Mobility coordinator met with the city mayor of Toledo and the head of City Department of Transportation, public safety and Civil Protection.

This visit grasped a detailed and practical understanding of the mobility issues facing Toledo City and also the benefits for Toledo citizens and visitors of a soundly use of ICT technologies.

Together with the already involved cities of Istanbul, Nice, Rome and Trondheim, the participation of Toledo city to the Instant Mobility project would be a major benefit for both parties. It will help the project to define proper applied use cases and scenarios of which some could then be experimented in the Toledo city.
