Legislation: Green Paper "Towards a new culture for urban mobility"

Website: ec.europa.eu/transport/clean/green_paper_urban_transport/index_en.htm

A new Green Paper on Urban Mobility was adopted on 25 September 2007 in order to open a debate on the key issues of urban mobility: free-flowing and greener towns and cities, smarter urban mobility and an urban transport which is accessible, safe and secure for all European citizens. With this Green Paper the Commission wants to identify, in partnership with all parties, what obstacles to successful urban mobility exist and how to remove them.

The Green Paper marks the start of a new consultation phase and will be discussed by the European institutions. Stakeholders are invited to share their views with the Commission until 15 March 2008. An Action Plan on urban mobility will follow in the autumn of 2008. For each proposed action that it includes, the Action Plan will indicate a time line for implementation and identify the responsibilities of the various actors.

The Green Paper addresses the main challenges related to urban mobility by 5 themes:

  1. Free-flowing towns and cities;
  2. Greener towns and cities;
  3. Smarter urban transport;
  4. Accessible urban transport, and
  5. Safe and secure urban transport.
