Target audience

All citizens and organisations are welcome to contribute to this consultation. The following parties might have a specific interest in doing so:

Why we are consulting

The Commission is working on a comprehensive Strategy for a Sustainable and Smart Mobility. While taking into consideration the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector, the strategy will set a pathway for the sector towards the sustainable and digital transitions, building a resilient and crisis-proof transport system for generations to come and delivering on the ambition set out in the European Green Deal and Europe Fit for the Digital Age Communications. In this context, the public consultation seeks to gather the views of citizens and stakeholders on the elements of the Strategy. The questionnaire also looks into how the current framework set out in 2011 White Paper has delivered up to now.
