The current problems with congestion, connectivity or worsening air quality cannot be solved by simply imposing a modal shift upon citizens. The new urban mobility framework in the EU must be guided by smart, competitive, sustainable and multimodal #transport solutions.

Urban transport must be safe for all.
We don't want to ban certain modes of transport, but rather find solutions to make them work properly.
For example:
🔵 more rules for e-scooters
🔵 educational campaigns
🔵 deployment of smart technologies
🔵 improved infrastructure

Leave no one behind.
The EPP Group wants to pay more attention to transport priorities and requirements for groups with special needs.
We also want better connectivity between urban and rural areas instead of locking out rural populations from the city centres.

This framework is key to achieving smart, competitive, sustainable and multimodal #transport solutions, says MEP @AndreyNovakov.
