The MultiModX project, co-funded by the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking under the Horizon Europe programme, has officially come to an end. As a final milestone, the project consortium has published a comprehensive white paper entitled “Towards Passenger-Centric Multimodality in Europe: Insights, Solutions and Policy Directions from the MultiModX Project”.
This white paper presents the key outcomes of the project, which aimed to accelerate the development and deployment of multimodal, passenger-centric solutions across Europe. MultiModX focused on bridging the gap between air and rail transport by providing evidence-based tools, performance indicators, and policy recommendations to support integrated mobility governance.
Using real-world data and stakeholder input, MultiModX shows that modest timetable adjustments can significantly improve connectivity and that coordinated disruption management substantially reduces stranded passengers and delays. Building on this evidence, the document proposes targeted policy actions on performance frameworks, pre-regulatory modelling, timetable coordination, disruption recovery, and the conditions to enable these aspects. Together, these recommendations provide an evidence-based pathway to translate Europe’s multimodal goal into reliable door-to-door mobility. (....)
