Why & What Transport

The starting point Transport provides vital functions to cities, enabling economic growth and access to jobs At the same time, urban transport still focused on conventionally-fuelled individual car mobility, leading to: • Congestion • Climate change impact: urban transport accounts for 23% of CO 2 emissions from transport • Health impact related to ambient air quality (NOx, PM emissions) • Road accidents: urban areas still account for 40% of all road fatalities (approx. 11. 000 per year) Transport

What the EU does • Transport is a shared responsibility between the EU and the Member States Ø The subsidiarity principle applies • Urban mobility is essentially a local responsibility; however local authorities should not be left alone • That is why there is a long tradition of EU support: 1. 2. 3. 4. Setting the policy framework Offering funding & financing Facilitating the exchange of experience and best practice Raising awareness Transport

The 2013 Urban Mobility Package http: //ec. europa. eu/transport/themes/urban/ump_en. htm • Calls for action from the Member States • Commits to reinforce EU support • Gives help for cities to develop Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans • Gives recommendations for coordinated action in: Urban logistics, Urban access regulations, ITS deployment in urban areas, Urban road safety • Sets out the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan to support a new approach to mobility planning • Commits to setting up a Platform on SUMPs to coordinate EU action and provide a one-stop-shop portal Transport
