Policy Paper | SUMP IT UP: Prague Moving towards Sustainable Urban Mobility

The covid-19 pandemic brought a number of changes to urban mobility patterns in Europe. While it temporarily reduced urban transit as a whole, the mid-term effects include a slight increase in active (pedestrian and cycling) mobility, but also a reduction of public transportation passenger numbers. The latter has not come back to the pre-pandemic levels, limiting the revenue of city transportation companies. This poses a challenge when it comes to financing operations and modernization of urban transport systems.
