Innovation in urban mobility : policy making and planning ; communcating transport research and innovation

Urban transport is strategically important for the economic competitiveness, social cohesion, and sustainable growth of Europe. Thus, combating traffic congestion and associated air pollution and traffic accidents are challenges for governments and transport authorities in all EU Member States. The EU is providing guidelines for cities and towns to move towards sustainable and integrated urban transport and is promoting research and demonstration of innovative and green solutions to meet the societal and environmental challenges of tomorrow. This Policy Brochure produced by the Transport Research and Innovation Portal (TRIP) highlights the contribution of research in delivering innovative solutions for sustainable and integrated urban transport.
