Amendments (9)
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1.

Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Recommends that the Commission draw on its past experience to help it publish higher-quality data on urban mobility; welcomes the initiative to develop an updated SUMP concept covering all forms of mobility and transport, including public and private, freight and passenger transport, be it motorised or non- motorised, moving or stationary;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Stresses the need for a dense and extensive transport network linking cities, peri-urban and rural areas in order to harness the full potential of these areas; calls on the Commission to support efficiently-functioning cross-border transport which contributes to employment, including by extending the high-speed train network, especially in those parts of eastern Europe where it does not exist or is poorly developed, in line with the Court of Auditor’s recommendations deeming high-speed rail a comfortable, safe, flexible and environmentally sustainable mode of transport (see Special Report No 19/2018).
Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 – point 1 (new)

Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Urges the Commission and the Member States to incentivise public transport over privateby developing dedicated public transport lanes, which make for a significant increase in speed on those segments and increase the attractiveness of public transport, in order to achieve the 2050 climate neutrality targets; highlights the role of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in promoting sustainable multi-modal mobility, with a focus on public transport, shared mobility and cycling and support for the deployment of means of public transport that are electric or hydrogen-powered or powered by other alternative fuels, as part of the transition to a net-zero carbon economy;
Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 5 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Stresses that in order to support zero- emission logistics in urban nodes there is a need for bypass routes, such as ring roads, that can take heavy traffic away from routes that cross towns and cities; encourages Member States to step up investment, through EU funding instruments, for car parks and other mobility connectivity areas at the entrance to urban areas which ensure easy access to different modes of public transport;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 – point 1 (new)
Paragraph 5 – point 1 (new)
(1) Points out that watercourses can become the backbone of sustainable mobility, and hence recommends that green 'blue lanes' be created for sustainable urban mobility along watercourses in towns and cities and functional urban areas, incorporating both elements designed to regreen the watercourse and interventions in the network of public/green spaces in towns and cities and peri-urban/metropolitan areas;
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 6 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Stresses the importance of cohesion policy and synergy between funds, including the Just Transition Fund, for investments in greener public transport facilities and the implementation of integrated urban regeneration projects and surface interventions, including pedestrian lanes and cycle infrastructure, urban furniture, public lighting and green areas and helping both to increase pedestrian safety and to improve the quality of public areas in towns and cities and functional urban areas; recommends encouraging integrated projects that rethink street systems near schools and public institutions based on the principle of sustainable mobility, and designing a system of citizen-safe streets that encourages active, non-motorised means of travel (walking and cycling);
