Special Eurobarometer 406: Attitudes of Europeans towards urban mobility

In view of the economic importance of urban areas and the problems with urban transport, a consensus has emerged that EU transport policy needs to have a much stronger urban element. To address this, the European Commission adopted the Action Plan on Urban Mobility in 2009 and published the 2011 Transport White Paper4 which sets the following goals for urban mobility:
- Phase out conventionally-fuelled cars in urban areas by 2050
- Achieve (near) CO2-free city logistics in major urban centres by 2030. Achieving these goals requires a detailed understanding of the problems faced by citizens travelling in urban areas and of the potential support for different approaches to dealing with these problems.
To that end, this survey was designed to look at Europeans':
- Transport habits;
- Experience of transport problems in EU cities;
- Opinions of measures to improve travel within cities;
- Expectations for traffic improvements within cities and their opinions of who is responsible for these improvements.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
