ECTRI replies to EC public consultation on collection of urban mobility data

With this initiative, the European Commission aims to define a common set of indicators for urban mobility data that EU Member States will collect and submit, per urban node, across sustainability, safety and accessibility fields (under the TEN-T Regulation).

ECTRI welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this process and underlines the following 8 key recommendations:

1. Adopt annual data submissions for some indicators, including annual CO₂ emissions from transport, instead of a four-year reporting cycle
2. Include indicators on equity and affordability, & freight and logistics impacts (e.g., number of jobs in public transport and logistics, split per sex)
3. Refine the safety‑related data collection framework, like introducing more nuanced categories for vulnerable road users
4. Adopt an EU holistic road‑safety monitoring system that includes, at minimum, the KPIs developed under the Trendline project
5. Provide technical and financial support for data infrastructure development
6. Standardise tools and training for compatible data collection and metadata integration
7. Support research projects and pilot actions through the next framework programme to develop common indicators and methodologies
8. Define the timeline of data collection and their use
