Abstract
In its 2011 Transport Policy White Paper, the European Commission introduced
ten targets to be met in order to reach a more competitive and resource efficient
transport system. The following dual goal focused on urban transport and
commuting: “To halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ cars in urban transport
by 2030; and to phase them out by 2050; and to achieve “essentially CO2-free
city logistics in major urban centres by 2030.” The question driving the research
behind this paper is how to realise this dual urban transport goal for 2030, taking
into consideration existing trends, available policy options, the diverse interests
of stakeholders involved in urban mobility in Europe. The paper draws on data
gathered in the EU FP7 TRANSFORuM project, including workshop dialogues
with stakeholders representing different interests in and perspectives on urban
transport and mobility. The main result is a roadmap that proposes a broad
strategy to answer the question “Who has to do what, by when” to achieve the
urban transport goal. The roadmap includes detailed proposals for action and
milestones at different levels of decision making. This paper will describe the
process of consultations and the outcomes of the roadmap process and will also
discuss the perspectives for implementation.
