Politics and regulation
The mobility of people and goods must be guaranteed, primarily for social and economic reasons. Public authorities have to create appropriate framework conditions such as legal and regulatory environments, financing instruments structures and organizational structures.
This includes defining service levels for public services, such as regional or local public transport services, as well as designing and implementing master plans for developing transport infrastructure and transport services, now and in future.
