UITP releases priorities for local public transport sector in EU's 2024-2029 legislative term

In a significant move aimed at shaping the future of transportation in Europe, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) has unveiled its comprehensive priorities for the local public transport sector during the European Union’s legislative term from 2024 to 2029.

In its policy paper, UITP emphasises the positive contribution public transport makes to the daily life of citizens. The association calls to action to implement the modal shift that is already outlined in the European Commission’s strategies and to make high-quality public transport a symbol of modern Europe.

With this in mind, UITP believes that it is high time to make the development of high-quality public transport a genuine priority for the EU and is proposing a series of measures ranging from more political and financial support to better law-making and coherent policy frameworks that support the provision of sustainable mobility services, such as public transport.

Political support is also gathered in a campaign launched by UITP earlier this month: I Vote Public Transport

In its European elections campaign, UITP invites all European citizens to show their support for local public transport by sharing why they love public transport and why the EU should do more to make cities and regions more liveable and sustainable with more and better public transport.
