The urban mobility transition How can the EU achieve more sustainable transport Euractiv [Video]

Urban mobility plays a pivotal role in the EU’s broader green transition goals. For the EU to meet its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and achieving climate neutrality by 2050, innovation and transformation in the mobility sector is crucial.

In the latest study on urban mobility transition by EIT Urban Mobility, findings show that investments in innovation are already yielding significant results in improving traffic congestion and reducing emissions in several European cities. By 2030, technological progress in mobility solutions could help reduce CO2 emissions by 21%.

According to the report, public transport emerges as the most affordable and inclusive solution to reduce urban mobility emissions. By 2030, public transport ridership could increase by up to 7%, while private car trips could drop by up to 16%. Moreover, findings show that shifting to active transport modes like walking and cycling could generate €1,170 in health savings per capita between 2022 and 2050.
