To contain the current COVID-19 health crisis, the adoption of appropriate measures in public transport is paramount. The ERTICO Academy in collaboration with the EU funded SOLUTIONSplus project hosted a special focus session on this issue. Public transport representatives from Hamburg, Madrid and China and an expert on the topic from UITP shared their experiences in the management of pandemics. Data management, mobility monitoring and disease spread patterns are useful tools in crisis management strategies. Looking ahead, the future of public transport and the implications of COVID-19 on the sector still remain uncertain.
“Public transport, a significant player in the mobility ecosystem, is facing enormous challenges in the current health crisis. Therefore, it is essential that we create a dialogue and provide a platform for them to exchange best practices”, says Emily Hemmings, Manager of International Cooperation at ERTICO. “A key priority for ERTICO is to achieve full integration of e-mobility solutions that will reduce traffic congestion and increase the use of low-carbon and low-emission mobility solutions. With growing urbanisation this is a prerequisite leading to high-quality travel for businesses and optimal accessibility for all citizens.” |
