With the digitalisation of the economy and the growing weight of data management, the AER Working Group on Transports has decided to widen its remit. The working group will now work on the different aspects of mobility and transports from a regional perspective.
Smart mobility
The themes the AER Working Group on Transports will focus include for instance:
-connectivity and permeability, in particular intelligent transport systems, seamless transport services
-freight management & data
-smart green infrastructure
-financing of infrastructure
-follow up of the regulation of state aid and regional airports
Collective knowledge
What the group wants to achieve is increased collective knowledge on current topics. This helps members to act at regional, national and european level. Sharing experiences feeds policy-making in the regions.
With its focus on mutual learning AER provides a particularly dynamic environment to initiate this work on transport and mobility.
