In five years, zero-emission mobility in cities should become mainstream, aided by the proliferation of zero-emission vehicles and lighter transportation options. Preventive measures to free people from some of the everyday journeys that they are currently compelled to take will also contribute to aligning with climate mitigation and environmental health goals. Essential to this transition is greater EU and national support for urban and long-distance transport infrastructure investments based on newly available sustainable urban mobility indicators, with increased budget allocations, clarified rules applicable to urban areas and enhanced city involvement in decision-making.
