Sustainable Mobility and Intermodality
Europe must reconcile the growing demand for mobility
with the need to reduce its impact on the environment, society,
the economy and safety.

| Mobility
affects all aspects of European society, from urban planning to
the quality of life. The transport sector represents around 10%
of GDP and 10% of employment. Over the past 25 years goods traffic
has increased by 75%, while passenger movements grew by 110%. The
results of this growth are clear: pollution and congestion. This
key action is designed to find long-term solutions to break the
link between economic growth and increased traffic, and to encourage
more sustainable use. Particular emphasis will be placed on integrating
the various modes of transport to provide user-oriented, door-to-door
services for passengers and freight. |
