Sustainable transport OVERVIEW 2023
Year: 2023
Content-Type: Executive Summary
Description: Transport is an essential component of our daily lives. It forms the backbone of the modern economy, facilitating personal mobility and allowing goods, capital and services to be exchanged between countries. Good public transport brings people closer together and plays an important role in society — especially when it comes to promoting social and gender equality. Every day, it is used by students and workers as an affordable, easy means of reaching their destinations. Women are the main users of public transport in many cities around the world, and efficient transport networks allow them to make the most of economic opportunities while juggling family commitments. Mobility is also one of the pillars of the Cohesion Orientation 2021-2027, the plan of the European Investment Bank (EIB) to expand and modernise its investments in regions covered by EU cohesion policy. This publication gives an overview of the European Investment Bank’s support for sustainable transport. It details the Bank’s activities in the sector and highlights key projects. The stories, videos and case studies, illustrate how the Bank’s financing and advice help countries, regions and cities.
