Summary / comments concerning the main impacts
The action will help address the CO2 emission, greenhouse effect, noise, and several related issues by helping to reduce unnecessary transport activity, improving the integration of transport modes and the attractiveness of those which are more environmentally friendly and by facilitating the consideration of qualitative criteria – including environmental impacts – in customer choice. The notion of "green transport" and the priority area urban transport will help apply new, environmentally friendly technologies to where their impact will be greatest.
Residents near motorways will benefit from improved integration of transport modes (which will to less road freight transport, and thus less emissions near motorways). Moreover, terminals, ports and stations are needed to accomodate these multimodal transportation (increased land use).
Climate change will decrease (greener and more sustainable transport) and the need for non-renewable sources will decline.
