Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Points out that, while transport- related emissions of most pollutants have fallen substantially in recent decades, persistent hotspots remain in the EU, where levels of air pollution are too high – especially in urban areas, highly congested and industrialized areas;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Believes that in order to improve the air quality in these hotspots, it is vital to move towards a more sustainable and less polluting transport system, especially in urban areas, while using all available means in the most effective way and taking into account the most recent scientific evidence, including the combination of ride-sharing and public transportation system, and taking into account the most recent scientific research of advantages of mobility-as-a- service approach;
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Encourages local and regional authorities to devise and implement evidence-based, strategic sustainable urban mobility plans, aiming at a coordinated planning of policies, incentives and subsidies that target the various transport sectors and modes, such as measures to encourage the roll-out of e-charging and other alternative fuels, investment in sustainable public transport, infrastructure for active, shared and zero emission transport modes and demand-related measures; , metro system, bicycle routes and technologies relating to clean transport modes, e.g. e-scooters or electric bicycles; encourages an approach based on a shift from private car ownership towards more sustainable Mobility as a Service approach;
Amendment 37 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Highlights the importance of sufficient expertise and resources available at local and regional levels for the drafting of air quality plans and elaborating the choice, implementation and evaluation of measures to improve air quality; underlines in this respect the need to raise awareness for available funding, technical resources and flexible pathways adjustable to local and regional realities;
Amendment 40 #

Paragraph 3 b (new)
Paragraph 3 b (new)
Amendment 54 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Reiterates the importance of a substantial modal shift from road towards less polluting forms of transportation, such as combined and rail transport; underlines, in this regard, the urgent need to improve and modernise railroad infrastructure, especially under the framework of the Trans-European Transport Network, and to further ease and encourage intermodality;
Amendment 70 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Recalls that whereas overall particulate emissions from road transport decline, the fraction emitted by vehicles from tyre, brake, clutch and road wear becomes increasingly significant; calls on the European Commission to examine, together with health and air quality experts specialised in the matter, in how far a regulation targeting these emissions could be necessary and proportionate in view of further reducing non-exhaust emissions and increasing their contribution to the overall reduction of particulate matter emissions from road transport;
Amendment 77 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5 b. Calls for the further integration of satellite data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service into the assessment of the implementation of European and global air quality rules;
Amendment 79 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 c (new)
Paragraph 5 c (new)
5 c. Stresses that Member States should focus on innovation and investments for improved connectivity and scalable air quality monitoring through low-cost air pollution sensors, artificial intelligence methods, and systematic deployment of 5G and Gigabit infrastructure along urban and rural large-scale transport corridors in line with EU’s 2025 5G and Gigabit connectivity objectives;
