EU project ReVeAL to help cities improve liability through Urban Vehicle Access Regulations

Sadler Consultants and the CLARS Platform is part of ReVeAL, a four-year EU Horizon 2020 project to help city authorities improve liability with Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVAR) that started this summer.

Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVAR) can be one of the most effective levers to help achieve a number of goals that a city has. The goals might include achieving climate neutrality; reducing congestion; or improving air quality, public transport or urban liveability.

The ReVeAL Project, (Regulating Vehicle Access for Improved Liveability), combines desk research and case study research with hands-on UVAR implementation in six pilot cities: Helmond (NL), Jerusalem (IL), London (UK), Padova (IT), Vitoria-Gasteiz (ES) and Bielefeld (DE). The project will both support these 6 cities as well as produce support tools for other towns and cities wanting to implement UVARs. Pilot cities are committed to develop, implement, test and evaluate one or more of the UVAR measures below:

• Zero Emission Zones
• Spatial Interventions (eg superblocks, reclaiming streets from parking)
• Pricing Measures
• Future Options (such as C-ITS and geo-fencing)
