What the EU does Mobility is at the heart of our Union. Transport helps connect people from different regions and countries, opening new opportunities and creating unity and cohesion, notably through tourism. It allows people, services and goods to move freely and is a key driver of Europe’s competitiveness and the twin green and digital transitions.The Commission aims to make European transport more competitive, sustainable and resistant to future challenges. It also helps to ensure that our transport system is safe, accessible and affordable for all EU citizens.
