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.

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.
