You have the choice of two visits:
European Passengers' Federation would like to thank Regione Lombardia for hosting the conference.
You can register by completing the on-line form (separately for each conference participant). Full conference documentation will be sent or e-mailed to you 2 weeks before the conference.
You can find out about all hotels in the city on Visita Milano or use services such as Booking.com, Trivago or Hotelscombined to find more hotels.
Milan is in the north of Italy, close to the border with Switzerland and France. It has two important stations: Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi.
The Linate and Malpensa (T1/T2) airports are not far from Milan. From Limate airport, Milan can be reached by coach. From Malpensa, Milan can be reached by express train, regional train service or by coach.
Around 10 free bike sharing cards will be availabile in the week of 10-16 March.
EPF comprises 34 associations or bodies in 19 European countries, whose individual members are welcome to attend the annual general meeting and conference. Only official EPF delegates are allowed to vote on internal matters. Visitors are also welcome at the conference and seminar and do not have to be members.
The speakers and discussion should enable EPF and its constituent bodies to strengthen their work representing all public transport customers over the coming year. The event also provides excellent opportunities for members from across Europe to network and learn from each other's experiences.
I look forward to meeting you in Milan and to an interesting event.
Trevor Garrod, Chairman
