The European Commission is inviting contributions to a consultation on its Communication ‘A sustainable future for transport - Towards an integrated, technology-led and user friendly system’.  

The ideas set out in the Communication are intended to stimulate debate on current policy trends and future challenges, which are expected to contribute to the process of identifying transport policy options for 2010-2020. The results of the consultation will help the Commission to formulate proposals for its next Transport White Paper, which is expected to be published towards the end of 2010.

In Britain, DfT has been conducting a consultation to help shape its response to the EC.

The European Commission’s consultation documents are available at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/strategies/2009_future_of_transport_en.htm. These include the Commission’s Communication, guidance on submitting responses and links to background presentations and reports. Contributions should be sent to the Commission at: tren-future-of-transport@ec.europa.eu by 30 September 2009.
