It highlights the need to transition to zero-emission mobility in cities, <strong>support for public transport, walking and cycling<\/strong>The document also proposes concrete recommendations for EU institutions to support these goals. Key points include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Supporting multimodal and sustainable mobility:<\/strong> The document emphasizes the need to create a convenient and reliable mobility system that would encourage people to rethink their travel habits and switch to public transport, walking and cycling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infrastructure investments:<\/strong> The document calls for increased EU and national support for investments in urban and long-distance transport infrastructure, based on new indicators for sustainable urban mobility. It is necessary to ensure greater budgetary allocations, clear rules for urban areas and greater involvement of cities in decision-making.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The role of cities in transport plans:<\/strong> The document emphasizes that cities should have a greater role in deciding on major investment plans that affect their territory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Funding:<\/strong> It is proposed to establish a new CEF-Transport programme with an increased budget for urban areas. Cross-subsidies and national tax systems to support green transport need to be explored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rail transport support:<\/strong> The document supports the EU&#039;s ambition to double the volume of high-speed rail transport by 2030 and to revive night trains and freight connections in Europe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prioritizing sustainable modes of transport:<\/strong> Public transport requires significant investment to renew and expand networks. The document also proposes support for active and shared mobility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transition to zero-emission mobility:<\/strong> The document supports the 2035 target for the phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles. It also needs to address vehicle categories where decarbonisation is lagging behind. It also needs to regulate vehicle energy efficiency and ensure that imported vehicles comply with EU legislation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infrastructure for zero-emission vehicles:<\/strong> It is necessary to invest in adapting local infrastructure to introduce zero-emission vehicles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Addressing the consequences of combustion engine vehicles:<\/strong> The document proposes to address pollution from internal combustion engine vehicles through low- and zero-emission zones and other vehicle access regulations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Road safety:<\/strong> The document proposes a review of the EU framework for road safety and supports the use of intelligent assistance technologies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate resistance:<\/strong> The document emphasizes the need to assess and anticipate the impact of climate change on urban mobility and infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inclusive mobility:<\/strong> The document also addresses ensuring equal access to employment and services regardless of gender, reduced mobility, ethnic origin or social conditions. It also addresses transport poverty.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Innovations in urban mobility:<\/strong> It is necessary to support knowledge exchange and build the capacity of cities in the field of innovation in mobility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sharing:<\/strong> The document highlights the need to improve the availability and quality of mobility data held by private companies for local authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall document <strong>presents a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities in urban mobility<\/strong> and offers concrete steps that the EU and its Member States should take to achieve their goals in the areas of sustainability, safety and inclusion in transport.
