European Year of Rail: the Connecting Europe Express has left the station
|
The ‘Connecting Europe Express’, a special train set up as part of the European Year of Rail 2021, left Lisbon station on 2 September. It will stop in more than 120 cities during its five-week journey, before arriving in Paris on 7 October.
European Commissioner for Transport, Adina Vălean said: "Rail has shaped our rich, common history. But, rail is also Europe’s future, our route to mitigating climate change and powering economic recovery from the pandemic, as we build a carbon-neutral transport sector. Over the coming weeks, the Connecting Europe Express will become a rolling conference, laboratory and forum for public debate on how to make rail the transport mode of choice for passengers and businesses alike. Please give us a warm welcome when we stop at a railway station near you."
The Connecting Europe Express is the result of unique cooperation between the European Commission and the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER), European rail operators, infrastructure managers and numerous other partners at EU and local level.

Sustainable urban mobility planning (SUMP) is a strategic and integrated approach to dealing with the complexity of urban transport. As part of the SUMPs-Up project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020, Rupprecht Consult has compiled a Topic Guide, ‘Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning in Smaller Cities and Towns’. This guide aims to support cities with a population of lower than 100,000, which are much less likely to develop Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans than their larger counterparts, and which are also underrepresented in good practice databases and the community of experts.
