| There are 118,500 inhabitants in the town and suburban areas. Suceava City is located at an important road junction, crossed by two European roads (the European corridor 9 of TINA network is situated near the city), five national roads and four county roads. The historical centre of Suceava includes many monuments and orthodox churches and is declared a UNESCO world heritage site. Since 1999, the northern part of the country, where Suceava is situated, has been involved in a government regeneration scheme to boost the local economy and promote foreign investment. One important aspect of this regeneration is the improvement of the transport network. Suceava began implementing clean vehicles and quality public transport services within the ALTERECO Project in 2000. The municipality owns the local transport company, which provides public transport in the city. The municipality of Suceava has formed partnerships with Merseytravel and CTP in several projects (ALTERECO, CATCH) concerning measures to reduce the impact of traffic and improve public transport. |
