42. Is convinced that in the medium and long term the growth in oil consumption in the transport sector can be reduced only if the European Union and Member States take additional measures to shift transport and mobility towards more sustainable modes that consume little or no oil, such as rail, waterborne transport and intermodal mobility chains in urban areas (walking, cycling, public transport, vehicle sharing); is convinced, also, that considerable energy savings can be achieved through the more efficient use of modern traffic ma ...[+++]nagement systems to reduce delays and circuitous routes in road and air transport and shipping, and by intensifying efforts to promote green logistics;

9. Notes that the promotion of safe, environmentally friendly, efficient and affordable public transport and rail and water-borne freight systems, as well as car pooling and car sharing, and the intensive promotion of non-motorised mobility, with parallel policies to reduce total motorised transport demand, are important steps towards reducing transport's negative environmental impact; urges the Commission and Member States to require urban mobility plans, with special measures facilitating and promoting the use of bicycles and other eco-friendly modes of transport, to be introduced in all EU cities;

16. Calls on the Commission to base its transport policy on the principle of decoupling transport growth from economic growth, devising a policy of transport prevention, promoting better transport and mobility management and intensifying its efforts for a shift towards more energy efficient modes of transport, such as inter alia intermodality, public/collective transport, car sharing and car pooling, rail, waterborne transport, walking and cycling;
