Environmental aspects of sustainable mobility :thematic Research summary

This Thematic Research Summary on the environmental aspects of transport and sustainable mobility aims to provide the reader with a synthesis of results of completed European research projects related to that theme. It consists of two main parts. The first part includes a brief overview of the scope of the theme and summarises the main policy developments at EU level relevant to the theme. The second part contains a synthesis of the main findings and policy implications from research projects and identifies the implications for further research. The research projects for which the synthesis is provided are European (EU-funded and national) projects that are completed and with results publicly available. The EU projects have been funded by the Fourth, Fifth and the Sixth Framework Programmes. Projects that had been reviewed in the related paper produced within the predecessor project EXTR@Web are only briefly summarised in the background section for each sub-theme.
