Transport 2050 IP/11/372
Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions (28/03/2011)
Key goals
No more conventionally-fuelled cars in cities;
A 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport;
All of which will contribute to a 60% cut in transport emissions by the middle of the century.

Transport 2050 IP/11/372
A roadmap for a competitive transport sector that increases mobility and cuts emissions;
Competitive transport systems are vital for Europe's ability to compete in the world, for economic growth, job creation and for peoples' everyday quality of life;
Curbing mobility is not an option;
To break the transport system's dependence on oil without sacrificing its efficiency and compromising mobility.

Multimodal Hubs: key research
A complex interchange building and infrastructure nodes.
Intermodal ticketing;
Access to mobility impaired people; step-free access from interchange platform to platform;
Real time multimodal public information regarding traffic conditions of all the connected transport modes;
Real time proposals of alternative transport routes in case of local delays or disruptions;
Include the whole journey, from door to door, whatever transport modes used;
Safe and secure journey.
