The EcoMobility SHIFT project (June 2010 – May 2013) aims at developing a method to assess, improve and promote the environmental sustainability of local governments’ transport and land-use planning policies. Municipalities will be able to obtain an ‘EcoMobility Label’ that values their efforts to improve the ‘friendliness’ of their cities, neighborhoods and facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, wheelers and public transport users.
The EcoMobility SHIFT project is an activity of the Global Alliance for EcoMobility. It is co-funded by the European Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI), as part of its Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) program. ICLEI, which provides the EcoMobility secretariat, coordinates the SHIFT project.
Brief information about the EcoMobility SHIFT project is also available as a flyer, slide presentation and through the 
IEE project database.

The project’s first true milestone, the assessment framework for cities is ready. This comprises the quality management and labeling system. It also includes a draft outline of the EcoMobility SHIFT step-by-step procedure. Download this deliverable D3.4 here.
- A list of 36 indicators has been compiled. The list contains indicators for measuring the city’s approach in planning for EcoMobility, its output in public space and the longer term effects of these efforts. The list also comprises relevant factors impacting on the EcoMobility criteria. Download the comprehensive indicator sheet here.
