  1. Put citizens’ needs at the forefront.
  2. Be part of a holistic approach.
  3. Be based on relevant facts and thorough analysis.
  4. Develop effective multimodality rather than forced unsuitable modal shift.
  5. Foster investment into transport infrastructure, the basis for future welfare.
  6. Encourage intelligent innovation, making transport smarter, more efficient, and sustainable.
  7. Enhance the benefits of transport rather than increase the burden on users.
  8. Focus on meeting the demand for mobility.
  9. Ensure competitiveness and efficient use of public funding.
