Full title in the source: Inclusive and climate resilient multimodal passenger hubs enhancing modal shift towards sustainable transport and shared mobility

Opens 9 Feb 2027

The EU's Horizon Europe programme expects to make 2 awards of €9 million each, from a total budget of €18 million. Applications close on 7 Oct 2027 (EU calls usually close at 17:00 Brussels time). Organisations in EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries such as Türkiye can usually take part; the topic conditions control.

Expected outcome

Project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:

• Contribute to the objectives of the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission by accelerating the transition towards climate neutrality targets in cities and reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutants emissions from transport due to the improved operation of the multimodal hubs.

• Reduce r oad congestion and improve air quality to protect health of citizens and urban biodiversity, by increasing shift towards sustainable and active modes of transport for city and intercity trips .

• Contribute to the objectives of the TEN-T Regulation by enhancing the climate resilience of multimodal passenger hub infrastructures and services in response to both the long-term effects of climate change and extreme weather events

• Increase inclusivity, accessibility and improved experience for all passengers at multimodal hubs, by proposing mobility solutions that respond to the needs of transports users, irrespective of their age, gender, economic or social status, including equal access for persons with reduced mobility/disabilities.

Scope

This topic focuses on climate resilience of major multimodal passenger hubs’ infrastructures and services within and between cities as well as peri-urban and rural areas. At least three demonstrators per project are required. As defined in the revised TEN-T regulation [1] , ‘multimodal passenger hub’ means a connection point between at least two transport modes for passengers, where travel information, access to public transport and transfers between modes are ensured, such as park-and-ride stations, and which acts as an interface within and between urban nodes and between urban nodes and longer-distance transport networks.

Projects will complement the implementation of the above requirement for TEN-T urban nodes by demonstrating concrete solutions for improving the climate resilience of multimodal passenger hubs.

Transport is responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emission and pollution in cities. In addition, transport infrastructures and their operation can be affected by severe disruptions and deterioration caused by extreme events (storms, heavy rains, floodings, heat waves, etc.) or prolonged climate stresses (water scarcity, changing groundwater levels, drought, extreme temperatures, sea level rise and accelerated coastal erosion in coastal cities, etc.). Preparing passenger transport systems resilience and the adaptation capacity is crucial to ensure continuity of the transport service and safety of passengers. The recently published “Support study on the climate adaptation and cross-border investment needs to realise the TEN-T network” should be considered [2] .
