3. Calls on the Commission to introduce, where appropriate, financial incentives in the investment plan to complement the Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps and Creative Europe programmes in the shift towards more environmentally friendly, sustainable means of transport, while also promoting inclusion and accessibility; takes the view that such incentives should be supported, if necessary, with an ambitious and dedicated budget within the investment plan; stresses that no discriminative methods should be used to encourage people to use means of transport emitting lower CO2, for example for choosing to take a train instead of a plane because it threatens the fundamental principles of culture and education;
