Amendment 199 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that the deployment of intelligent transport systems is necessary to allow a more efficient use of the existing infrastructure and vehicles, and provide additional capacity without the time, cost and land- take required for the construction of new infrastructure; adds that intelligent transport systems contribute to safety and sustainable transport, and underlines the importance of ensuring interoperability between intelligent transport systems to enable seamless traffic flows across modes and nodes;
Amendment 218 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Emphasises the importance of promoting electro-mobility and electric public transport systems, coupled with the introduction of renewable energy sources in the electricity sector, giving priority to the electrification of the rail network, tramways, electric buses (including trolleybuses), electric cars and e-bikes; stresses the potential of modern aerial tramways (cable cars), as an inexpensive and easy-to-build means of transportation, to expand the capacity of urban public transport systems;
Amendment 234 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that public transport usage in urban areas is not clearly stated among the ten goals of the White Paper; believes that a new goal should be set of doubling public transport use in urban areas by 2030, while providing for facilities and infrastructure to facilitate door-to-door mobility of pedestrians, cyclists and elderly or handicapped people; a clear goal should be also set to double cycling by 2025; stresses that these goals need enormous investments in urban public transport infrastructure, and therefore calls on the Commission to establish an adequate funding scheme;
