"The action plan on urban mobility is a must for the EU’s urban communities. 67% of European citizens expect a European policy to be developed in this area.
What response can we give to Europe’s citizens?
The costs resulting from urban traffic congestion are rising to approximately 1% of European GDP. In order to reduce the pollution level in urban environments and traffic congestion, we need to invest in public transport and in intelligent transport systems.
Last year we approved the report on promoting the use of green vehicles in public transport.
Prague is the capital city which has set an example, with its purchase last year of green buses for its urban public transport system, using state aid.
I call on the Commission to also give due consideration to urban mobility during the mid-term review of the framework for the utilisation of structural funds."@en1
