EMTA is an association that unites the transport authorities from 31 cities and metropolitan areas in Europe to share knowledge and experience and jointly address challenges in mobility and transport. EMTA brings together managers and executives from members to facilitate a discussion amongst peers on topics of common concern and interest. EMTA joins bodies endowed with competences in public transport and mobility to facilitate elaboration of topical issues and address challenges. EMTA surveys the performances of its member network annually. It voices concerns and interests to EU Institutions.
Core mission

Partnering in the H2020 project: Collective Innovation for Public Transport in European Cities. http://www.ciptec.eu
Partner in H2020 project: INCLUSION
http://www.h2020-inclusion.eu:9090
INCLUSION is a 3-year European project that aims to address a number of challenges related to the accessibility of public transport in remote urban and rural areas. In a fast-changing transport environment, where individuals’ mobility requirements have become more complex and the role of new forms of transport solutions is increasing, public transport continues to be a key requirement for people with specific needs. In some deprived urban neighbourhoods or remote rural areas across Europe, an efficient and inclusive public transport means greater access to jobs, educational and social opportunities.Address

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
