ITS Directive
Multimodal policy goals
• White Paper on Transport (2011) sets the goal of integrating transport modes for seamless multimodal door-to-door travel (Initiative 22).
• Our vision of a seamless door-to-door multimodal journey is that already at the planning stage it is a complete user-friendly experience, and includes multimodal scheduling, information, online reservation and payment systems and smart ticketing via one website. It is without doubt still a vision today but we want to achieve it in the next ten years.
Multimodal policy goals°2
• Users have to be given an opportunity of comparing realistic times of different travelling options. Only then they will have a true choice of the better solution: be it cheaper, shorter, greener or more comfortable trip.
• If bigger numbers of travellers make such informed choices, we will manage to make Europe's transport system more efficient: with less congestion, less emissions, less unnecessary cost.

Multimodal travel planning
• Promotion of multi-modal journey planners (action 1.5 of the ITS Action Plan)• Study "Towards a European Multi-Modal Journey Planner"
(finalised in 2011)• 1st Smart Mobility Challenge on European Multimodal journey
planers completed in March 2012• Discussion in CY Informal Ministerial Meeting in July 2012
• Leading towards adoption of specifications for EU-wide Multi-Modal Travel Information under ITS Directive (end 2014)
Improve integrated travel planning• 1st Smart Mobility Challenge brought different
stakeholders together (industry, researchers, professionals and users) and demonstrated their commitment and potential
• But there is a need to go further:• Integrate all travel modes, and their
combinations and new mobility services• Cover all European countries, for full door-
to-door travel experience, with particular attention to urban first and last miles
• Introduce the option of seamless reservation, payment and ticketing,
• Better ensure safety and comfort of all passengers, and vulnerable users above all,
• Develop connected services• Provide on-trip assistance and real-time
updates, etc.
TransportTransport
Multimodal Travel Planning and Information Services
• Current work based on conclusions of the study and of the Challenge, addresses remaining barriers to deployment of MMJP• Related to data (access to data, its availability,
quality and interoperable formats)• Related to organisational questions
• Noticeable interest from the European Parliament and from the Member States that are advancing, but at various pace

Multimodal Travel Planning and Information Services (incl. ticketing)
• Public consultation – open until 12 March 2013• http://ec.europa.eu/transport/media/consultations/2
013-03-12-mtpis_en.htm
• Upcoming workshop to discuss with stakeholders the results of the consultation:• 16 April 2013, Brussels
• Link to the Guidelines of the Urban ITS Expert Group • Notably the documents concerning 'Multimodal
information services' and 'Smart ticketing'
• Potential establishment of a stakeholders' platform to develop common solutions, namely in ticketing
