2. Takes the view that a sustainable mobility strategy must encompass all methods of transport, increasing the modal share of the most sustainable means of transport, as well as the different levels of travel – local, regional, national and international – and should be inextricably linked to suitable spatial planning and land use; underlines the particular challenges of mobility in urban areas and advocates a public transport pricing policy that incentivises greater use thereof; calls for increased support, through EU funding, for sustainable urban mobility, by making available to Member States the funds needed to increase urban mobility through the development of new cycle paths, sustainable urban planning, and electric recharging stations and charging points, hence providing citizens with all the appropriate means to encourage them to opt for sustainable transport;
