Abstract: Impact measurement at an international project level supposes the use of an elaborated methodology, a coordinated team to implement, impact’s evaluation of such project and designated channels that distribute this evaluation. In order to correctly evaluate the impact, a project it should be divided accordingly to specific domains: environment, economic, social and specific field(s) to which the project is addressed. For example, CIVITAS SUCCESS project, by definition, represents a transport and mobility project and, in order to quantify the mobility impact for this particular project, in this paper, it will be considered specific transport indicators. The evaluation of a project impact and the dissemination of this impact are not meant only to add value to the project but to make it accessible and transferable to persons or institutions which intend to implement the same or a similar project.
