Two policy priorities for transport in the European Union are the

development of the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) for

long-distance mobility and the promotion of journeys that efficiently

combine the use of different modes. To be effective, these initiatives

require good inter-connection between long-distance and local/regional

networks, particularly at the interface between urban and inter-urban

transport. There have been a variety of research findings and pilot

experiences aimed at improving such connections, which now need to be

shared.
