An initial update of the European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) vision for the future of rail, projecting to 2050, has been issued, addressing the European effort required for research and innovation to achieve a competitive, resource efficient and intelligent rail transport system. The European vision for railway research and innovation outlined in the document illustrates the research pillars that need to be supplemented by the corresponding investment pillar. To complement those, the legislation pillar is necessary to provide fair market conditions. This combination has the potential to transform rail into the low carbon natural transport mode of choice in the middle of the 21st Century.

The Active Travel Audit is a self assessment tool carried out by different groups. It’s not intended as a method for benchmarking, but as a means to improve the active travel system in the audited city. The guidelines outline the steps of the audit – how to prepare, run and analyse the audit – as well as defining the participants that should be involved and the skill set of the auditor.
