Way forward
The Vienna Declaration details the priorities and focus of future work for THE PEP on the journey to the Sixth High-level Meeting in Moscow in 2025. Member States will further strengthen the commitment to work together to fulfil the new vision of THE PEP: “clean, safe, healthy and inclusive mobility and transport for happiness and prosperity for all”. Among other activities THE PEP will work on:
• a comprehensive pan-European strategy on transport, health and environment for transforming mobility towards zero emissions, ensuring health-promoting active mobility, and building safe and efficient transport (also including legal options) in the decade to come;
• increasing cycling and walking in every country, ensuring cyclist and pedestrian safety, and including active mobility in health policies, as proposed in the Pan-European Master Plan for Cycling Promotion;
• intensifying cooperation to implement THE PEP and promote joint action among Member States and international organizations within THE PEP Partnerships, THE PEP Relay Race and THE PEP
Academy;
• addressing inequalities related to transport and urban sprawl, driving forward inclusive and equitable transport systems across the pan-European region;
• a communication strategy to raise awareness of opportunities for and benefits of sustainable and healthy transport and to disseminate the results of THE PEP.
