Modernising Transport Governance

  • January 9th, 2025
Poster

Dr. Francisco Alonso, Director of INTRAS, attended the TMF New Year Debate - Modernising Transport Governance, held on January 9, 2025.

Transport foresight research has noted that approaches to transport regulation must change. Broader governance approaches are needed to better target growing market failures as traditional boundaries between modes and sectors evolve. One of the greatest market failures remains access to information where government action has been lagging the changes taking place in transport markets. Perspectives on transport, technology and governance are increasingly shaped through social media, such as Elon Musk’s contribution as a technology leader to the political debate in the recent US presidential election. Transport in Europe is generally regarded as being well regulated but it must adapt rapidly to make the most of the changing socio-techological context to face the challenges ahead, not least climate change. In the AET debate was analyzed at what needs to change in 2025.

The session was chaired and moderated by Derek Halden from the AET Transport and Mobility Forum.

The AET Transport and Mobility Forum promotes active engagement of AET members and member-groups with each other and with other like-minded transport organisations through supporting and hosting a range of activities including online webinars, seminars and discussions on a wide range of transport and transport related topics of interest.
