SUMMARY The main cities in the MRDH region have very different cultural and economic characteristics, which makes resolving mobility issues in an integrated manner a challenge. Rotterdam is very spread out, is bisected by a river, and has ’s largest port. Cars are much more prevalent here. The Hague, by contrast, is the seat of the national government; most of its civil servants travel by rail, public transport, and bikes. Both cities are congested but for different reasons. Rotterdam’s busy port generates a large amount of truck traffic; The Hague is situated at the end of two motorways, which creates frequent bottlenecks during rush hours. The transport authority is focused on creating a reliable and accessible public transportation system by improving integration and increasing the use of electric and autonomous vehicles.
