The next decade is critical, and we must rise to this challenge together – as Europeans. The New EU Urban Mobility Framework should help all scales of European governance accelerate the shift to Sustainable Urban Mobility.

It the lays out the Urban Mobility System we aspire to, and the concerted effort needed to get there. Finally, it elaborates on the Framework’s connection to the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, and proposes actions for the next decade.
