Description of Reforms and Investments A. COMPONENT 01: SUSTAINABLE, SAFE AND CONNECTED MOBILITY SHOCK PLAN IN URBAN AND METROPOLITAN ENVIRONMENTS This component of the Spanish recovery and resilience plan addresses challenges concerning air quality, which mainly affect major metropolitan areas, and have led to more than 20 000 premature deaths in Spain in 2018. The overarching objective of the reforms and investments in this component is to transit towards a clean, safe and smart urban mobility. The specific objectives pursued by this component are the following: accelerate the implementation of low-emission zones in all municipalities with more than 50 000 inhabitants and the capitals of the provinces, and the penetration of electric mobility; promote active mobility, as well as other measures to help reduce the use of private cars; the digital and sustainable transformation of the public transport sector as a real alternative to the use of private vehicles; improving the quality and reliability of the short-distance railway services to increase its effective use in metropolitan environments, to the detriment of the private vehicle; optimising traffic management and facilitating decision making to promote cleaner mobility. The component addresses the Country Specific Recommendations on promoting public and private investment and fostering the green transition (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), promoting investments in innovation and in energy efficiency (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2019), as well as on strengthening cooperation across level of governments (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2019).

  • The Unrelenting Spread of Coronavirus Has Had an Unprecedented Effect on Public Transport Networks Around the World. National Go
    NEWSLINES The unrelenting spread of coronavirus has had an unprecedented effect on public transport networks around the world. National governments are implementing measures to contain the spread of the virus which increasingly include the closure of international borders. As a result, the number of international rail services around Europe, both long-distance and local, is diminishing fast. Domestic services are also being affected in most countries as all but essential travel is being discouraged or even prohibited, meaning a reduced service level is in operation as travellers heed official advice. To illustrate the dramatic reduction in international services over the past few weeks, we have included (below this statement) a brief summary of the current situation. We at European Rail Timetable clearly urge our readers to observe official government advice with regards to travel during these difficult times. We plan to continue publishing the timetable on a monthly basis, but only showing regular schedules, so readers can continue to plan future journeys once this pandemic is under control, however long that takes. We have made the decision not to include details of any amended schedules because the situation is so fluid with individual countries being at different stages of dealing with the pandemic. More importantly, many governments have imposed severe travel restrictions as part of their strategy to contain the virus, so it would be inappropriate for us to show amended timetables. We sincerely hope our readers stay safe during this difficult time and can resume their travels around Europe (and beyond) at some point in the not too distant future.
