Abstract

Building on the conclusions of the MATISSE report, the ECLIPSE project has worked to establish partnerships between stakeholders that are relevant to the issue of transport and social exclusion. The stakeholders are situated at various levels: The European level, the national level and the regional to local level. This document describes the process of the establishment of these three levels. For each level we describe the nature of the stakeholder and their role and function in the partnership. At the local level, RATB and Merseytravel describe the partnerships within their field of operation. At the level above, Polis has identified local experts within their membership that are dedicated to finding solutions for social exclusion through transport planning. The third section provides an introduction to the contacts of the National Action Plan Officials. The fourth section of the document maps the different EU stakeholder organisations and institutions in the field of transport and social inclusion. The document concludes with recommendations for involving different stakeholder groups in the transport and social inclusion process and a section on financing the policy integration.
