3a. Believes that a European urban mobility observatory should be set up in order to – devise a set of standard indicators, in collaboration with the stakeholders concerned, for the purpose of measuring and comparing the performance of European towns and cities as regards sustainable mobility, which should be considered from every angle, that is to say, in terms of its logistical, environmental, and social aspects as well as from the safety point of view, – set up a centralised database pooling together the data collected by means of the above indicators and, on that basis, measure the progress made by individual towns and cities in implementing their sustainable mobility plans, – in the light of the data gathered, compile an annual league table of European towns and cities meeting given criteria, based on the progress observed and allowing for the respective starting points, – list innovative best practices in European towns and cities in the area of sustainable urban mobility, – help towns and cities exchange and disseminate those best practices, by regularly publishing a list of the most successful ground-breaking initiatives;
