VOYAGER is an initiative of the European Commission’s
Directorate General for Transport & Energy, Clean
Transport Unit. The project is led by an international
team of public transport organisations, local authorities,
research centres and transport consultants.
The objective of VOYAGER is to create a vision and
make recommendations for the implementation of attractive,
clean, safe, accessible, effective, efficient and financeable
European local and regional public transport systems
for the year 2020.
During the first phase of the project, which started
in September 2001, six expert working
groups have examined the state of the art and identified
current problems and barriers to the implementation
of competitive and attractive public transport systems.
During its second phase, which started in April 2003,
VOYAGER considers the impact of global trends on
the future of public transport and prepare policy and
RTD recommendations for all public transport stakeholders
at local, regional, national and European level.
