The Challenge

The Municipality of Porto offers updated information on parking for individuals with reduced mobility, aiding trip planning to health, leisure, and commercial areas. While it lacks real-time availability, it helps residents find convenient parking options.

To achieve this, the Mobility Department of the Municipality of Porto is seeking a digital platform to disseminate existing geographical information and data. A mobile application could be an effective solution, providing users with on-demand access to up-to-date information. When selecting a technological solution, it should be user-friendly, stable, and functional. The pilot team needs to be available to support the target audience and make adjustments if any challenges arise.

The Municipality of Porto's Mobility Department is conducting a pilot programme with residents with reduced mobility and their companions.

Who can apply?

  • Companies and associations established in the EU, with a valid European business ID
  • Individual citizens through their host institution, or from a country associated to Horizon Europe.
