Opinion Number: CDR 952/2022

Commission: COTER

Status: Adopted

Date: 11/10/2022

Adopted on 8 May 2023, the EP resolution takes up a series of recommendations set out in the CoR opinion, including on the need to address transport poverty and to examine possible financial incentives such as reduced price mobility schemes or other forms of mobility support. It also echoes the CoR's call for an EU car-free day and for targeted road safety measures such as 30 km/h speed limits in certain areas of cities in order to further untap the potential contribution of active mobility to the green transition. On multimodality, the EP resolution echoes the CoR's call for EU support to accelerate progress towards single-ticketing across all public transport modes and for policy measures to facilitate interchange between different transport modes, including active and micro-mobility.
As an observer member of the European Commission's reformed Expert Group on Urban Mobility (EGUM), the CoR and will continue to support the uptake of these and other recommendations set out in the CoR opinion in the group's work on the preparation of the European Commission's future guidelines and policy recommendations in the field of urban mobility.

THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS

- highlights that the significant modal shift towards public and active transport modes envisaged by the new UMF and the SSMS will only be possible with strengthened and coordinated support from public authorities at EU, national and local and regional levels; insists […] that the European Commission should reinforce direct consultation of European cities and their associations in its ongoing and future work on indicators for SUMPs;

- recalls the chronic underfunding of public transport infrastructure over recent decades, and emphasises the need to increase EU funding to accelerate the mobility transition and support LRAs in the investments required to meet the EU's sustainability targets;

- emphasises the environmental and societal benefits of active mobility such as walking and cycling, including particularly in the domain of public health, and calls for an ambitious approach in the forthcoming updated SUMP guidance;

- regrets […] that the most polluting transport modes in cities occupy the largest part of public space dedicated to mobility; requests urgently that the European Commission encourage, through new financing, local authorities to give this space back to more active mobility and strong and well-structured public transport; [recalls that] about half of all motorised trips for the transport of goods within European cities could be shifted to bicycles;

- highlights the importance of the development and modernisation of rail infrastructure, especially in areas where there is evidence of significant deterioration, and [of] developing support schemes; insists that revenue from the CO2 tax should be channelled into the rail or cycling network ;

- emphasises that the need to address mobility poverty is critical in the interests of social, economic and territorial cohesion; points to the need for measures to encourage the deployment of on-demand public transport services, especially in peripheral and outermost rural areas, and calls on the Commission to provide support; calls also for additional support for smaller cities;

- calls for an EU-wide exchange of best practices on the affordability of public transport; further asks the European Commission to conduct a study on the feasibility of implementing a free public transport system across the EU in order to incentivise modal shift.
