Abstract
The (more and more urban) European population is growing and ageing. Mobile
information and communication technologies are developing rapidly. Global
competition and the fight against climate change are pressing. These
developments all have an impact on transport as a whole. As this paper shows,
mobility needs and patterns evolve; new transport services/systems emerge;
transportation technologies aim to become more 'environmentally-efficient'. This
transformation challenges the existing transport sector's structure and
governance and calls for major changes in the regulatory framework.
