Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:
- Contribute to the objectives of the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission by accelerating the transition towards climate neutrality targets in cities and reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutants emissions from transport due to the improved operation of the multimodal hubs.
- Reduce road congestion and improve air quality to protect health of citizens and urban biodiversity, by increasing shift towards sustainable and active modes of transport for city and intercity trips.
- Contribute to the objectives of the TEN-T Regulation by enhancing the climate resilience of multimodal passenger hub infrastructures and services in response to both the long-term effects of climate change and extreme weather events
- Increase inclusivity, accessibility and improved experience for all passengers at multimodal hubs, by proposing mobility solutions that respond to the needs of transports users, irrespective of their age, gender, economic or social status, including equal access for persons with reduced mobility/disabilities.
- Provide guidance and best practices for national/regional/local authorities and urban transport authorities to improve the integration of walking, cycling, shared mobility and micro-mobility at and around in multimodal-hubs, and for identifying and deploying relevant monitoring and security measures related to climate impact on operations.
Scope:
This topic focuses on climate resilience of major multimodal passenger hubs’ infrastructures and services within and between cities as well as peri-urban and rural areas. At least three demonstrators per project are required. As defined in the revised TEN-T regulation[1], ‘multimodal passenger hub’ means a connection point between at least two transport modes for passengers, where travel information, access to public transport and transfers between modes are ensured, such as park-and-ride stations, and which acts as an interface within and between urban nodes and between urban nodes and longer-distance transport networks.
Projects will complement the implementation of the above requirement for TEN-T urban nodes by demonstrating concrete solutions for improving the climate resilience of multimodal passenger hubs
