The European Commission is conducting an evaluation of its 2011 White Paper titled, ‘Roadmap to a single European transport area – towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’.

The White Paper was adopted in 2011 and defined the long-term vision for a European transport sector that serves the needs of the economy and citizens, whilst responding to future challenges related to oil dependency, growing congestion and pollution, and the need to cut CO2 emissions.

It set out a strategy based on 40 action points in four broad areas. These aim to eliminate internal market barriers, and support innovation and infrastructure.

The Commission has contracted a team led to undertake a study to evaluate the White Paper. The objective of the support study is to provide a comprehensive evaluation and to collect and analyse evidence to help assess whether it has achieved its objectives in an effective and efficient manner.

In addition, the study aims to determine whether its objectives and priorities remain relevant with emerging needs, and whether it remains consistent with other EU policies and priorities.

It will cover all areas of the White Paper, examine transport policy needs, the Paper's objectives and goals, the proposed action points, as well as the outcomes achieved and, where applicable, their preliminary impacts.
