Building on 35 years of knowledge and hard-earned experience, ERTICO is the front-runner in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Europe
Accessible and effective mobility is essential for society and the economy. Intelligent transport connects technology, data, and transport to offer better choices, enhance safety, reduce congestion, and lower emissions.
Our expanding body of expertise helps shape policy, investment, and deployment decisions, reinforcing our position as a trusted thought leader at both European and global levels.
We bring a trusted, unified voice with 35 years of experience in advancing the digitalisation of transport, advocating at the highest level.
Our Partnership is uniquely placed to advise decision-makers, ensuring that ITS is recognised as an enabler for decarbonisation.
We engage with the European Institutions to encourage innovation and deployment of new solutions and services.
Among many cooperations, we are involved in:
Digital transport and logistics forum (DTLF)
ERTICO is a member of the DTLF, which brings together EU policymakers and the ITS industry to develop a European vision for the digital transformation of freight transport and logistics.
Expert Group on Urban Mobility (EGUM)
ERTICO co-leads the European Commission's EGUM group on Urban Space and the Future of Urban Mobility, now focusing on 'City Access for Businesses' during the 2026-2027 cycle.
European ITS Advisory Group
ERTICO assists the EU Institutions in the development of standards, policy, and deployment of ITS across the EU. In 2026, ERTICO closely aligns with the Commission’s priorities on industrial competitiveness, technological sovereignty and security.
We collaborate with like-minded alliances across Europe and beyond:
At ERTICO, we champion the efforts of all stakeholders who are shaping more liveable cities and enabling seamless, sustainable travel across borders.
We have close cooperation with the European ITS National Network to share knowledge and promote smart mobility across local and national levels. Dissemination of expertise and key insights, while gaining valuable input on local, regional and national needs and initiatives are the very heart of this collaboration, aiming to ensure strategic alignment between European and national priorities.
Through many activities, ERTICO contributes to the national organisation's events and annual Congresses, including support for its programme and online promotional visibility. National organisations are also invited to actively participate and contribute to the ITS Congresses hosted by ERTICO. They are also part of the supporting organiser body in the city where the Congress is hosted.
ERTICO establishes strategic partnerships with like-minded organisations through Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to foster collaboration across borders and sectors. These alliances promote mutual interests, support the exchange of best practices, and encourage joint efforts in research, innovation, and policy development.
In addition to our advocacy, we coordinate ERTICO partners to access and participate in EU-funded projects and innovation platforms.
ERTICO's in-house expertise, and that of our Partnership help us anticipate the future for mobility and stay up to date with the latest trends.

ERTICO Moonshot
By interviewing 300 cities worldwide on their smart mobility challenges, needs and trends, the City Moonshot Initiative helps us understand how best to support and facilitate the change required, offering cities a platform to express their goals. The National Moonshot builds on this insight and extends its reach to understand priorities at the national level.
