The European Commission’s Expert Group on Urban Mobility (EGUM) is pioneering sustainable transport solutions across Europe, advancing toward a greener future in 2026. After successfully completing their 2025 Work Programme, EGUM has released key reports that influence urban transport strategies.

EGUM has been integral to the progress report on the EU Declaration on Cycling and has analyzed urban nodes within the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), emphasizing the integration of passenger and freight infrastructures with regional networks.

Noteworthy findings from EGUM's reports include:

• Enhancing sustainable passenger transport through improved regulatory frameworks and proactive policies.
• Examining freight operations within cities to align with evolving urban mobility policies, balancing efficient access with environmental goals.
• Addressing coach access challenges to harmonize urban mobility with coach tourism's economic significance.

Looking ahead, EGUM's 2026 focus will include urban nodes, city access, multimodal passenger hubs, active mobility, and supporting the EU Sustainable Tourism Strategy.

Comprehensive EGUM reports can be accessed on their website, offering in-depth analyses and recommendations for cities aiming to embrace sustainable transport methodologies.
