Abstract

This brief chapter serves as an introduction to the subsequent chapters in this section. It provides an introduction to the rationale behind the development of the SUITS capacity building toolbox, and how it was developed. The toolbox provides relevant, up to date information for LAs, in the latest developments in sustainable transport measures, closing a gap in information already available through ELTIS and CIVITAS web sites (see Chap. 2).
