The organization of this site, while sprawling and very comprehensive on the one hand, is or at least should be quite simple to put to work. The first key to its ready use is provided by the two main menus.

• The top menu in intended to offer a quick, current view of the main activity and updates of the project. (If you let your cursor linger over the link, you will see a few words of introduction to what follows there.)

• The left menu, by contrast, should pretty much explain itself. At the top you will find the more general information provided by the Agenda, while under the quite long Program listing, you will find just that, the dozen-plus focus programs that constitute the working heart of the Agenda. With the final bottom section given over to providing one-click entry to the latest collaborative programs.

And while that's all there is to it, the following more detailed section may help to fill you in on some of the details.

But as you read on here, you may do well to bear in mind , if you will, that the ultimate key to the usefulness of all the rich display that you will find in these pages and their many extensions lies in the extent of your curiosity, flexibility and willingness to treat all this as raw materials, rather like the machine translations you will find on many of these pages. The rough translations they cough up do not offer clear and certainly not linguistically definitive answers to the meaning of the various texts, but rather they offer useful tools, hints really that you can make good use of, if you chose to. For example.

Overall site organization

The Agenda is organized into a steadily evolving constellation of semi-self-contained, informal international partnership projects, each of which can be usefully consulted either on its own or in parallel with the more general flow of information and materials that are being developed within this New Mobility Agenda site itself. More than a dozen collaborative programs have thus far been developed. To access them refer to the menu to your left. If you have ideas for yet other concepts that can make good use of this approach, this is the place to turn with your suggestions.
