Toolbox
Welcome to ULLC Toolbox
The ULLC Toolbox is an online resource hub designed to support practitioners, planners, and learners in making informed decisions about urban mobility solutions. It brings together assessment and design tools, capacity-building materials, knowledge products, and business models to guide the effective implementation and operation of sustainable mobility strategies.
While still under development, the Toolbox already includes initial resources on vehicles, operations, and the integration of e-mobility, along with insights from various user groups and key mobility challenges. More tools and modules will be added gradually to expand its scope and usability.
