Description

‘The City in motion’ is a watchdog project aimed at investigating the way in which the principles and postulates of the Transport Policy of the City of Łódź are implemented by persons and institutions managing transport in the city. As part of the project, we are monitoring the law on the functioning of public transport in the City of Łódź. We are preparing a monitoring report with conclusions and recommendations. We educate the city officials on the principles of good governance and transparency. As part of communication activities a public debate on transport is initiated and the materials developed within the project, including the monitoring report, will be publicized. The effect of the project will be to deepen the knowledge of the residents on the legal documents regulating public transport in Łódź. The project will also make it possible to introduce improvements to the way transport is managed in the city. Our main target group are Łódź City Hall officials, councillors, local activists, residents, and journalists interested in the topic of urban transport. Indirect beneficiaries are those who read our publications: ‘Civic Affairs Weekly’ and ‘Civic Activity’. We are implementing the project in partnership with two organisations: Federation of the Greens – Krakow Group and Icelandic Environmental Association (Landvernd).
