The European Forum on Intermodal Passenger Travel is a project which is funded by the European Commission (DG Energy and Transport within the 6. Framework Programme) for 3 years and has been launched in April 2007.
Intermodality: challenge - principle - vision
Enhanced intermodality in passenger transport is one key to a higher efficiency on side of the transport system, improves the ease of travelling on side of the travellers and minimises impacts on side of the environment. The mobility trends and forecasts like the growth of long distance travel and air traffic or partially a loss of significance of rail and local public transport would increase the imbalance of more sustainable modes.
The European Commission (DG TREN) has involved the co-modality policy, in other words the use of transport modes according to their relative advantages, an objective met by the LINK approach.
