MOBILITY4EU is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission, started in January 2016 and lasted until 31 December 2018. MOBILITY4EU delivered a vision for the European transport system in 2030 and an Action Plan that aimed to implement that vision. This vision and action plan focused on user-centeredness and cross-modality and include the transport of passengers and freight. The main outcomes of the project are summarised below. An online community of stakeholders is still active on the European Transport and Mobility.
Scope
The ambitious goals of climate protection and energy and resource efficiency as well as the tremendous changes in society and economy require restless innovation and progress in the transportation systems. The modal transport sectors are continuously advancing their research agendas to meet these challenges. Nevertheless, these efforts remain fragmented within the modal silos. In order to reach the European goals towards sustainability and efficiency and to meet the transport and mobility needs of all European citizens, a truly integrated and seamless transport system for people and freight must be developed and implemented, and the full potential of transformative technologies has to be exploited. This can only be achieved if user-centeredness, cross-modality and technology transfer become a focus of efforts of all stakeholders in transport.
The project is working on delivering a vision for the European transport system in 2030 and an Action Plan including a Roadmap to implement that vision. Recommendations for tangible measures in research, innovation and implementation targeted towards various stakeholder groups are being derived.
Objectives
MOBILITY4EU aims to:
- IDENTIFY AND ASSESS SOCIETAL CHALLENGES THAT WILL INFLUENCE FUTURE TRANSPORT DEMAND AND SUPPLY;
- ESTABLISH A FUTURE VISION OF A TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN 2030 THAT REFLECTS THE VARIOUS SOCIETAL DRIVERS;
- DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN INCLUDING A ROADMAP FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT VISION TAKING INTO ACCOUNT USER NEEDS, NEW MOBILITY CONCEPTS, THE IMPLICATION OF THESE NEW CONCEPTS ON POLICY, NEW BUSINESS MODELS, AND PROMOTING CONSENSUS BUILDING AROUND NEW SOLUTIONS AND GOOD PRACTICES;
- RECOMMEND TANGIBLE MEASURES IN RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR MEETING THE RESPECTIVE TARGETS AND CHALLENGES;
- SUSTAIN THE WORK OF THE PROJECT BEYOND ITS DURATION IN THE FORM OF A NEW EUROPEAN TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY FORUM.
To achieve these objectives, Mobility4EU sets a participatory framework involving all relevant actors from inside and outside the transport sector, covering all transport modes.
