Mobility Transition Pathway: Open call for Stakeholders' Pledges to drive green and digital transition
The Transport Working Group met on Monday, March 11, to discuss the EU Mobility Transition Pathway and the related opportunities for regions.
During the meeting, Giuseppe Marotta from the Unit Mobility at DG GROW introduced the Mobility Transition Pathway, a comprehensive and co-created actionable plan published in January 2024. This plan aims to identify challenges, opportunities, conditions, and necessary actions to drive the green and digital transition within the mobility sector while enhancing the ecosystem's resilience.
The European Commission opened an online call, inviting stakeholders from various sectors to submit pledges aligned with the Mobility Transition Pathway. This inclusive approach welcomes participation from individual companies, business associations, social partners, NGOs, and local authorities. Find more information on the dedicated webpage.
During the presentation, Mr Marotta detailed the pledge submission process, emphasising its crucial role in mapping stakeholders' commitment. He stressed the importance of submitting pledges as it enables the commission to map stakeholders' commitment, provide support through enhanced visibility and communication, foster mutual inspiration, and monitor progress during the implementation phase. Pledges play a pivotal role in identifying areas and initiatives that stand to gain from EU-level support, addressing needs such as removing regulatory barriers or securing additional funding. This collaborative commitment ensures a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the mobility sector, facilitating targeted interventions for a successful and sustainable transition.
Following Mr. Marotta's presentation, Riánsares López, Senior Consultant at OPTIMA, took the floor to present Catalonia's strategies for addressing the transformative challenges within the mobility sector.
