Intermodal transport refers to the use of at least two different modes of transport during one door-to-door journey. The level of integration in terms of ownership, operation or usability is an important aspect of intermodality. Improving intermodal transport requires the development of seamless integrated transport chains.
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) invites delegates to participate in a hearing to express views about the mid-term review of the European Commission's 2011 White Paper on Transport.
The EESC is interested in knowing about:
This 3rd Florence Intermodal Forum aims at critically reflecting on the concept and practice of 'Mobility-as-a-Service' and assess its generalisability at an EU level. It will do so by:
Ghent-Sint-Pieters is a 100-year-old train station with 50 000 daily visitors. Because of an increase in the number of people using the station, it is being remodelled into a modern multimodal hub where travellers can comfortably and efficiently transfer to train, bus, tram or bicycle. The changes include a renewed station, an integrated tram and bus station, indoor bicycle parking for over 10 000 bicycles and underground parking.
This key event will gather some 120 transport infrastructure innovation and research experts, including European and national policy makers, leading industry, standardisation agencies, SME's and the media.
With the theme of 'Innovative maintenance of Transport Infrastructure. Faster, cheaper, more reliable, safer, greener', FIRM15 will feature multiple information sessions on the following themes:
• Infrastructure level: Engineering and technical solutions
• System level: operations including monitoring inspections
Tthe European Club of Intermodal Regions and Cities, managed by INTERMODES, and SYTRAL (Syndicat des Transports pour le Rhône et l’Agglomération Lyonnaise) invite you to experience the transportation network of the Lyon metropolis.
Lyon was awarded the INTERMODES Prize in 2014 both for its policy in favour of intermodal passenger transport development and for its desire to constantly improve mobility for the benefit of its citizens, for the sake of economic dynamism.
The urban mobility landscape is changing fast. Citizens see new mobility solutions emerging, making personal car ownership less attractive. Indeed, in cities with strong public transport complemented with services like car-sharing, bike-sharing, bicycle parking, shared taxi services, car pooling etc. one can easily move around freely.
To make it even easier, a one-stop-mobility shop acting as personal mobility assistant is key to an integrated mobility offer, but are the customers ready for the change?
