The vision of the future transport system seen through the measures of actual strategic documents

Abstract

In line with the expressed need to reduce GHG from the transport sector, the EU adopted the Green European Deal in 2019, which requires a 90% reduction in GHG emissions from the transport sector by 2050, and a Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy by the end of 2020. It proposed a comprehensive set of measures to be implemented to make today's transport sector sustainable, "smart" and resilient in the future. The strategy identifies a number of challenges in the road sector, so the Action Plan defines a set of measures, which primarily relate to regulatory changes. This paper analyzes five such changes, which are important for the road sector, with special emphasis on the elements of change. In the context of these actions, a review was given of the potentially analogous actions envisaged by the Transport Community in its Action Plan, contained in the Strategy for Sustainable and Smart Mobility of the Western Balkans. Through the analysis of measures from these two strategies, a part of Europe's vision and plan for the future transport system is presented, while the analysis of actions at European and regional level shows future challenges expected in the road sector of Serbia, both as members of the Transport Community and as candidate countries for EU membership.
