Summary

The European Commission has published the final report Transport Poverty: Definitions, Indicators, Determinants, and Mitigation Strategies, commissioned by DG EMPL. The study investigates the multifaceted issue of transport poverty through three key tasks: defining the concept, developing potential indicators for measurement, and identifying effective strategies to mitigate its impact.

The report examines how transport poverty manifests, its underlying causes, and the role of various stakeholders in tackling the issue. It explores how these efforts are integrated into national policymaking frameworks to ensure effective interventions. Key findings are supported by detailed case studies on Germany, Poland, Romania, and Spain, highlighting diverse approaches to addressing transport inequality and accessibility challenges.
