Between 2000-2004 CUPID will undertake a European cross-level site assessment of demonstration project of the eight European cities in the PRoGRESS project, produce robust policy recommendations and disseminate the results.

The eight cities participating in PRoGRESS are Bristol (UK), Copenhagen (Denmark), Edinburgh (UK), Genoa (Italy), Gothenburg (Sweden), Helsinki (Finland), Rome (Italy) and Trondheim (Norway). PRoGRESS is managed by Bristol City Council.

The CUPID Consortium is working to achieve the project aims which are:

"To provide co-ordination, state of the art research intelligence, assessment and exploitation to a set of linked urban transport pricing demonstrations to determine how schemes can be successfully implemented in European cities"

The network comprises experts from 6 European research institutes and consultancies: Transport & Travel Research Ltd (UK), ISIS (Italy), ITS Leeds (UK), SINTEF (Norway), TIS.PT (Portugal) and the Technical University of Dresden (Germany).

CUPID
(Co-ordinating Urban Pricing Integrated Demonstrations) is a Thematic Network supported by DG TREN of the European Commission.
