The growth of urban mobility and use of private car leads to congestion, parking and sustainability problems in most cities. Cities around the world face unacceptably high levels of air pollution, noise, congestion, parking problems and accident rates. Urban transport is also one of the main responsible factors for the emission of green house gases, but improvements are being studied and tested all around the world. The present paper describes innovative mobility systems applied to a city near Lisbon - Évora, with special focus on the interaction between parking policies, traffic management, transit operation and soft modes strategies. The solutions adopted include a new bus network, an improvement in the train shuttle service, a Park & Ride bus line named Blue Line, and an innovative pedagogical parking enforcement strategy adopted in Évora.
