Foundation for Action on Urban Mobility
Urban areas are home to 72% of the European
population, cover 4% of the EU’s territory and are
the origin of 85% of the EU’s GDP
Efficient transport is vital for economic growth and
employment in urban areas
Urban areas face particular challenges in making
transport sustainable
Urban mobility is of growing concern to citizens
Urban mobility is a central component of longdistance transport

Role of the EU
Urban transport is integral part of Common
Transport Policy (EC Treaty Art. 70-80)
EU policy objectives are achievable only by
including urban mobility
Replication of EU funded projects optimises use of
Community funds and helps local policy
Single Market is supported by compatible rules,
schemes and technologies
Efficiency of European transport system is ensured
by integration, interoperability, interconnection
