Taxis 4 Smart Mobility (T4SM) welcomes the possibility to provide inputs to the public consultation on the EU’s next long-term budget (MFF), to shed light on the impact of the EU budget on the taxis sector.
As the voice of the taxi industry in the development of sustainable and smart mobility, we outline the key aspects the next MFF must consider to support the growth of green and inclusive urban mobility.
Our key recommendations focus on:
- Including in the Competitiveness Fund a chapter on charging infrastructure to ensure a direct line of funding to support local and municipal authorities in their transition.
- Adding a specific policy objective for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for greener and more connected rural areas, through the expansion of fast charging infrastructure.
- Including a dedicated funding line in the Competitiveness Fund for expansion and modernisation of the grid infrastructure throughout Europe, to support the electrification of the transport sector.
