• support the use of new data types, to provide (new) services such as (i) restricting … in urban areas and (ii) government use of data from … in e.g. traffic and road management.

Answer 21

Revised delegated regulation on Road traffic information services:

• expand the geographical coverage of such services to include local road networks
• support the use of new data types, to provide (new) services such as (i) restricting vehicle access in urban areas and (ii) government use of data from business in e.g. traffic and road management.

Question 22

The Delegated Regulation 2017/1926 on … has been in place since 2017. It requires that …, such as transport operators, transport authorities, infrastructure managers and transport-on-demand service providers, make information (such as timetables, bike-sharing stations, stations and bus stops) accessible via … in each Member State. This obligation only applies when the data is available in a digital, machine-readable format. The purpose is to enable data users, such as … information service providers, to make accurate information available to passengers, allowing for a smoother multimodal journey. Multimodality can help to reduce overall transport emissions by decreasing reliance on … in favour of shared transport combined with active mobility (for example walking and cycling).

Answer 22

The Delegated Regulation 2017/1926 on MMTIS has been in place since 2017. It requires that data holders, such as transport operators, transport authorities, infrastructure managers and transport-on-demand service providers, make information (such as timetables, bike-sharing stations, stations and bus stops) accessible via National Access Points (NAPs) in each Member State. This obligation only applies when the data is available in a digital, machine-readable format. The purpose is to enable data users, such as multimodal travel information service providers, to make accurate information available to passengers, allowing for a smoother multimodal journey. Multimodality can help to reduce overall transport emissions by decreasing reliance on private cars in favour of shared transport combined with active mobility (for example walking and cycling).

Question 23

The revised MMTIS will make it mandatory for data holders to make … information (real-time data such as …) accessible via the National Access Points. Until now, only certain … data had to be accessible. The obligation will also be extended to new data, for example on whether … can be taken onto a train, and on …, including for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility (this aligns the Delegated Regulation with the Regulations on EU passenger rights). Under the proposed revision, passengers will also be able to find, via travel information services, real-time information on … or … of their plane, ferry, or transport-on-demand service, and where they can park their bike, scooter or car.

Answer 23

The revised MMTIS will make it mandatory for data holders to make dynamic information (real-time data such as disruptions) accessible via the National Access Points. Until now, only certain static data had to be accessible. The obligation will also be extended to new data, for example on whether bicycles can be taken onto a train, and on accessibility, including for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility (this aligns the Delegated Regulation with the Regulations on EU passenger rights). Under the proposed revision, passengers will also be able to find, via travel information services, real-time information on delays or cancellation of their plane, ferry, or transport-on-demand service, and where they can park their bike, scooter or car.

Question 30

Transport modes’ environment-related external costs alone amount to EUR x billion each year

Answer 30

Transport modes’ environment-related external costs alone amount to EUR 388 billion each year

Question 31

The additional investments for 2021-2030 in vehicles (including rolling stock, vessels, and aircraft) and renewable and low carbon fuels infrastructure deployment are estimated at EUR x billion per year, compared to the previous decade. The ‘green and digital transformation investment gap’ for infrastructure would add an additional EUR x billion per year. Just to complete the TEN-T core network and build it as a truly multimodal system, EUR x billion is needed over the next x years.

Answer 31

The additional investments for 2021-2030 in vehicles (including rolling stock, vessels, and aircraft) and renewable and low carbon fuels infrastructure deployment are estimated at EUR 130 billion per year, compared to the previous decade. The ‘green and digital transformation investment gap’ for infrastructure would add an additional EUR 100 billion per year. Just to complete the TEN-T core network and build it as a truly multimodal system, EUR 300 billion is needed over the next 10 years.

Third, the transport … policy of the EIB should also help achieve the strategy’s objectives, by offering a comprehensive framework that will attract ….

Answer 32

Firstly, non-repayable support, notably from
the new Recovery and Resilience Facility, ERDF and Cohesion Fund, Innovation Fund, should be prioritised for projects with the highest social, environment, economic and EU added value and direct impact on jobs, growth and resilience.

Second, the market failure and sub-optimal investment level in policy priority areas should be addressed through financing instruments (e.g. InvestEU).

Third, the transport lending policy of the EIB should also help achieve the strategy’s objectives, by offering a comprehensive framework that will attract private investment.
