The triple challenges of climate, squeezes on public finances and the need to grow jobs will mean the EU and its member states will have to reinvent transport policy.
The Commission’s communication is vague on the fundamental strategic questions. Whilst ageing, migration, and other global trends might be important, they do not seem to offer much in terms of concrete actions for EU transport policy and they do not seem to be relevant to the medium-term consequences of the economic crisis Europe is trying to recover from.
In our consultation response, we will examine how the above challenges can be turned into opportunities for the development of sustainable transport policy in Europe.
