- Planning and buying tickets for journeys that combine different modes of transport can be cumbersome for travellers in the EU. To compare different options, many use digital services such as route planners and ticket vendors. This initiative addresses challenges for these services and implements Action 37 of the sustainable and smart mobility strategy. It aims to better integrate public transport and rail services to achieve seamless multimodal passenger transport, delivering the EU Green Deal.

Types of Policy Windows
Key Events – Strategic spaces (such as consultations, policy forums, high-level meetings, or conferences) where proposals can be presented, discussed, or promoted directly with decision-makers.
Ongoing Political Processes – Policy reforms, government programmes, or strategies under development or revision, including national or EU initiatives, that create opportunities to provide timely input.
Receptive Actors (Potential Takers) – Public authorities with the mandate, interest, or capacity to adopt, adapt, or scale up project results (e.g., municipalities, ministries, regional governments, inter-municipal platforms).
Gaps in Policy Frameworks – Missing or insufficient instruments or legal frameworks that hinder the implementation or scaling of solutions (e.g., regulatory inconsistencies, lack of enabling legislation, outdated policies).
