Urban transport research program
The Urban Transport Research Program ( FoPS ) is a program of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Building and Urban Development (BMVBS) and serves to improve traffic conditions in the communities . The aim is to develop application-oriented scientific and practical knowledge for decision-makers in the field of urban and regional transport. The results of the projects should also ensure transferability to the whole of Germany.
Project proposals can be submitted via the regional transport ministries and the central municipal associations. The project list is drawn up every two years together with the federal states and with the support of a scientific advisory commission.
