Call	An inclusive digitally interconnected transport system meeting citizens' needs
Description of call "An inclusive digitally interconnected transport system meeting citizens' needs"	Digitally interconnected transport systems offer many possibilities with the potential to make travelling faster and more comfortable for citizens. However, citizens' ability and willingness to participate in a new digital travel ecosystem is a factor in this development that is often overlooked. Thus, an important challenge is to ensure that all members of society can benefit from digitisation. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to better understand the needs and attitudes of various users, in particular vulnerable-to-exclusion citizens such as, for example, elderly, low-income, disabled or migrants, in relation to the requirements brought about by the digitised transport system in order to fully benefit from it. Proposals need to address the specific aspects of this call that are listed in detail in the call-document.
