A reflection process launched by the European Commission, involving stakeholders and transport experts, identified 6 main trends and challenges that will shape the future of transport policy over the coming decades – aging, migration and internal mobility, environmental challenges, the availability of energy resources, urbanisation and globalisation. This demonstrated the need to focus future European transport policy on the pursuit of an integrated, technology-based and user-friendly transport system. With the adoption of the Communication on the future of transport 1 on 17 June, 2009, the European Commission wanted to stimulate further debate that aims at identifying concrete policy proposals for its next Transport White Paper scheduled for 2010. |
