About START

Seamless Travel across the Atlantic area Regions using sustainable Transport (START for short) is a new project within the European Commission's Transnational Cooperation Programme for the Atlantic Area.

Its primary aim is to make it easy to travel to, from and around the Atlantic regions using environmentally friendly, collective modes of transport.

This calls for greater interconnectivity between transport systems and clearer information to be provided within regional gateways, such as airport hubs, ports and rail interchanges.

13 partners from the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal have joined START. They are working to establish a wider transnational network of regional and local authorities, alongside other relevant organisations, to promote enhanced accessibility of the regions.
