5. Multimodal policy goals
• White Paper on Transport (2011) sets the goal of
integrating transport modes for seamless
multimodal door-to-door travel (Initiative 22).
• Our vision of a seamless door-to-door
multimodal journey is that already at the
planning stage it is a complete user-friendly
experience, and includes multimodal scheduling,
information, online reservation and payment
systems and smart ticketing via one website. It is
without doubt still a vision today but we want to
achieve it in the next ten years.

6. Multimodal policy goals°2
• Users have to be given an opportunity of
comparing realistic times of different travelling
options. Only then they will have a true choice of
the better solution: be it cheaper, shorter, greener
or more comfortable trip.
• If bigger numbers of travellers make such
informed choices, we will manage to make
Europe's transport system more efficient: with less
congestion, less emissions, less unnecessary cost.

7. Multimodal travel planning
• Promotion of multi-modal journey planners (action
1.5 of the ITS Action Plan)
• Study "Towards a European Multi-Modal Journey Planner"
(finalised in 2011)
• 1st Smart Mobility Challenge on European Multimodal journey
planers completed in March 2012
• Discussion in CY Informal Ministerial Meeting in July 2012
• Leading towards adoption of specifications for EU-
wide Multi-Modal Travel Information under ITS
Directive (end 2014)

8. Improve integrated travel planning
• 1st Smart Mobility Challenge brought different
stakeholders together (industry, researchers,
professionals and users) and demonstrated
their commitment and potential
• But there is a need to go further:
• Integrate all travel modes, and their
combinations and new mobility services
• Cover all European countries, for full
door-to-door travel experience, with
particular attention to urban first and last
miles
• Introduce the option of seamless
reservation, payment and ticketing,
• Better ensure safety and comfort of all
passengers, and vulnerable users above all,
• Develop connected services
• Provide on-trip assistance and real-time
updates, etc.

9. Multimodal Travel Planning and
Information Services
• Current work based on conclusions of the study
and of the Challenge, addresses remaining
barriers to deployment of MMJP
• Related to data (access to data, its availability,
quality and interoperable formats)
• Related to organisational questions
• Noticeable interest from the European Parliament
and from the Member States that are advancing,
but at various pace

10. Multimodal Travel Planning and
Information Services (incl. ticketing)
• Public consultation – open until 12 March 2013
• http://ec.europa.eu/transport/media/consultations/20
• Upcoming workshop to discuss with stakeholders
the results of the consultation:
• 16 April 2013, Brussels
• Link to the Guidelines of the Urban ITS Expert
Group
• Notably the documents concerning 'Multimodal
information services' and 'Smart ticketing'
• Potential establishment of a stakeholders' platform
to develop common solutions, namely in ticketing
