As the European Commission’s principal urban mobility policy conference, Urban Mobility Days (UMD) provides the ideal opportunity to network, debate and exchange on key European urban mobility policy issues with policymakers, local authorities, NGOs, academics, urban transport practitioners, and the industry
UMD 2025 places urban mobility within the context of the new European Union priorities (“A new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness", "Supporting people, strengthening our societies and our social model"). This will be highlighted by the cross-cutting topics of competitiveness, innovation and tourism throughout the three days, each dedicated to urban nodes, cycling and public transport.
IRU EU Goods Transport Policy Adviser Chloé Whyte will moderate the session on City access for tourism coaches. The session will take place on Day 3 (2 October, from 17:15 to 18:30).
The session will focus on how cities can do better to facilitate this flow of visitors, not only by lowering emissions per visitor but also by alleviating potential congestion. In particular, findings relevant for coach tourism resulting from the work of the Expert Group on Urban Mobility’s subgroup on city access for businesses.
