05/11/24 (Agence Europe) – In Barcelona on Tuesday, 5 November, representatives from major European cities and public transport organisations, including Eurocities and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), signed a new European declaration to “[reaffirm] their commitment to enhancing sustainable, accessible, and resilient public transport systems that facilitate seamless daily mobility across Europe’s urban areas”. In this declaration, they notably call on European policymakers to adopt a declaration on public transport that sets shared objectives, highlights positive impacts, and proposes measures to improve the quality of transport. They are also asking them to support zero-emission mobility, digitalisation, network projects, and innovation within the scope of the EU’s multiannual financial framework as well as to ensure stable, long-term funding for sustainable development in public transport.
