In 2018, the Graz Declaration detailed, under the heading “Starting a new era: clean, safe and affordable mobility for Europe”, the ways in which mobility could help Europe to achieve the climate goals for 2030. Later in 2019, the European Green Deal established the commitment to reform the EU Economy towards a sustainable future, by designing a set of deeply transformative policies, such as accelerating the shift to a sustainable and smart mobility. Now, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is living unprecedented times and is facing a crisis that convenes everyone – technicians, politicians, and citizens – to debate the present and future challenges in Mobility Management.

Considering the necessary deep changes in economy, society, policy, environment and technology, our future depends on the lessons we will learn from the moment we are living today to make things possible Beginning a New Era.
