Editorial

Dear members,

I am happy to announce the dates and call for speakers for the Annual Polis Conference have been released. This year's conference will take place from 27-28 November in Madrid. You are invited to submit your papers until 4 July. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have questions about the conference and the call.

Other news this week include the results of a new Eurobarometer on European's satisfaction with Public Transport. More than two thirds of citizens are happy with public transportation in their city - but there is still a lot of potential for citizens to use it on a more regular basis.

I wish you a pleasant read!

When you are logged in as a member to the Polis website, you will have access to a considerably enhanced database of documents, events and news compared to the public website.

Yours sincerely,
Sylvain Haon
Secretary General
