Our pledge is to support the DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION of business travel, through facilitating seamless multimodal travel and passenger protection. This means including more travel options and more sustainable travel options in the tools people use when booking a trip. Technology can be used to create sustainable travel planning, including incentives to switch to more climate-friendly modes of transport or to make sure our various modes of transport are used more efficiently, and ultimately reduce the overall volume of traffic. Consequently, we support the European Commissions proposal for an MDMS initiative. 
We have already produced a Position Paper in 2023, ‘Digital Transformation’ and will review, update and publish this in 2024, which will assess progress on the above digital transformation NOT resilience issues. 
We have already organised two webinars with MEPs, which touched on many of these issues, including on Multi-modal Digital Mobility Services and will organise a third by the year end. 
We will meet key stakeholders in the EU regularly, have already attending a meeting on MDMS, and will hold at least two further days of engagement in Brussels by the end of the year, with a special focus on new and re-elected MEPs and the new Commissioners and Cabinets.
