A U!Train Manifesto for Sustainable Mobility
Driven by students from the alliance, the U!Train Manifesto, calls on policymakers, transport ministers, and universities to prioritize the revitalization and enhancement of rail systems across Europe.
Why rail matters? Europe is at a decisive crossroads in its pursuit of sustainability, with rail transport poised to reclaim its position as a cornerstone of mobility. The U!Train initiative brought together students from nine European universities to confront the challenges and unlock the potential of rail travel. During a collaborative mapathon last september, 28 students identified over 200 points of interest across the European rail network, highlighting areas that urgently need improvement.
The culmination of these efforts is the U! Train Manifesto, a set of actionable recommendations aimed at transforming rail transport for a more sustainable and connected Europe.
