In January 2008, ManagEnergy enhanced its emphasis on a thematic approach to services for local and regional energy actors with the launch of three ManagEnergy Thematic Groups (TGs) covering Energy Education, Buildings and Transport and Mobility during the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The TGs met in Brussels for a second time at the beginning of June 2008 and for a third time in early October 2008. The TGs on Education and Transport each hosted a workshop during EUSEW 2009 at the beginning of February 2009.

The ManagEnergy Thematic Group on Transport and Mobility develops practical tools to
help ManagEnergy local and regional energy agencies and local government
actors, such as municipal bodies and local authorities. The group’s
assistance is geared towards helping them to better understand the area
of mobility, identifying what kinds of actions are possible in this field,
and disseminating examples of practical and effective success stories.
In addition, the thematic group is also developing strategic support tools and a road map to help local and regional energy agencies build up their own mobility-related capacities and services, and more effectively initiate their organisation into this area of activity.

The thematic group is composed of six members and is coordinated by Prioriterre
(France).
Anne Sophie Masure and Loic Lepage (coordinator) With 25 years of experience under its belt, Prioriterre has become a leading expert in providing information and dispensing advice on energy, water and consumption in Annecy, in France’s Haute Savoie region (600 000 inhabitants). Its areas of expertise include changing people’s behaviour to encourage them to save energy and water and disseminating information. It also advises citizens about specific energy issues, energy audits, new technologies, energy efficiency in buildings, solar energy, insulation, ventilation, and more. Prioriterre, whose name combines the French for ‘pirority’ and ‘Earth’, is widening its energy-related activities to include transport and mobility. Since September 2007, it has been advising its clients on vehicle choice, fuel prices, biofuels, new technologies, alternative mobility (car sharing and car pooling), mobility plans and eco-driving.
