Programme: "Interreg Alpine Space" 2021-2027
Call: Classic project 3
Project acronym: RECCAM
Project title: “Boosting REadiness of rural areas for Connected, Cooperative & Automated Mobility”
Description: Rural areas often register low accessibility, implying environmental/social challenges like car dependency, mobility poverty, and rural flight. Connected Cooperative & Automated Mobility (CCAM) is a digital-driven innovation able to address these challenges and improve rural
collective transport.
However, CCAM is mostly developed in urban areas, leaving an urban-rural innovation gap. RECCAM addresses this gap by boosting the readiness of local/regional policymakers to integrate CCAM solutions into their rural collective transport systems. In the short term, this will improve the
capacity of policymakers to deploy CCAM, reap its benefits, and reduce urban-rural innovation gaps. In the long term, this will foster accessibility and decrease car dependency in rural areas.
