START Project Workplan
START will be organised into 7 activities, each led by one project partner. Each activity will have a series of actions that will collectively achieve the objectives of the project. Some actions will solely be transnational with partners from each country working together to build and implement solutions and others will have a transnational element to implement tangible results to improve the accessibility of each region.
The expected results of the project will contribute to the strategic objectives of the Atlantic Area programme by implementing improved local transport services in each START region, together with state of the art customer focussed information provision.
Communicating with the Customer
This activity will develop a communication campaign for each region based on the INTEGRA concept. Communication products will be designed to encourage local people and visitors to the region to use public transport services. See more details
INTEGRA Portal Development
This activity will develop the prototype transnational web portal www.integra-travel.eu into a fully sustainable project. See more details

How can you START?
START has already built a network of interested organisations across Europe. We would like to invite you to join this transnational network.
Your organisation will benefit from updates on our research and development work, as well as widening our network and allowing us to deliver a stronger travel policy for the Atlantic area region.
START will keep members fully up to date with the project's progress as well as inviting them to seminars and events discussing the challenges that it can address. The START Transnational Forum will take place in Lisbon during Spring 2011.
