Summary/Abstract: Raising the level of mobility for urban populations is of interest to the authorities of practically all major governments. Projects of European Union funding (2007–2013 and earlier) enabled the process of reclamation and regeneration of public transport as well as the necessary infrastructure to accelerate. Larger urban units such as provincial capitals faced even more difficult task – the integration of public transport in the metropolitan area. The paper aims to present three integrated projects implemented by the City of Białystok, in collaboration with its communication companies on public transport. The projects and their strategic relationships may be an example of long-term planning by financial means of different programming periods.
