Main objectives
• to take up and update the results of existing studies on accessibility at the European scale using most recent available network and socio-economic data,
• to extend the range of accessibility indicators by further indicators responding to new policy questions and further developing the quality and validity of the existing indicators,
• to extend the spatial resolution of accessibility indicators by calculating, besides European accessibility, also global and regional accessibility,
• to explore the likely impacts of available policies at the European and national scale to improve global, European and regional accessibility in the light of new challenges, such as globalisation, energy scarcity and climate change.
Key policy questions
• What are the differences between accessibility at three different levels (regional, European and global) considering the four modes road, rail, water and air?
• What is the link between accessibility at the different levels and for different modes of European regions and their economic development? How has this link changed over time? Does the strength of this link differ across the EU?
• What could be the territorial impact of rising energy prices on the future developments of road, rail, water and air transport?
• What could be the impact of various transport scenarios on climate change, access patterns and economic development?

Impact analysis and scenarios
• Analysis of the relationship between accessibility and economic development and environmental indicators over time.
• Consistent set of long-term scenarios of European transport.
• Likely spatial impacts of European transport scenarios up to the year 2030 (regional accessibility, regional economic development, territorial cohesion, polycentricity, environmental impacts).
