How did the Green Deal negociations address social cohesion?

I’m fully aware that there’s a lot of work ahead of us to ensure that cities can buy zero-emission buses. These purchases are financed by taxpayers and this must be taken into consideration. Dialogue with the public transport sector really needs to intensify, as it will remain essential for affordable mobility.

We’re halfway there, and the intention is clear: to ensure sustainability, equity and accessibility. Europe can also be a place for building alliances, and we are ready to work closely with cities and regions to move forward in this direction. If cities and regions invest together in zero-emission public transport, they can also get a better deal. We also need to devote much more attention to rural communities, so that they too always have access to mobility.
