The objective is to modernise passenger transport infrastructure on the TEN-T network. Studies related to projects aiming to seamless connections between and with long distance transport modes in a multimodal passenger hub as defined in the revised TEN-T Regulation.
Detailed Call Description
The studies must relate to projects that:
- are located in an urban node in line with Annex II of the revised TEN-T Regulation;
- are part of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan established in accordance with the Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning guidance provided in Annex V of the revised TEN-T Regulation, or the 2019 Guidelines for Developing and Implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan[1] or of an equivalent plan;

Projects including rail connections are not supported under this topic. However, such projects in Cohesion Member States can be submitted under the rail topics of the CORECOEN or COMPCOEN calls. Connections with other type of public transport infrastructure will only be supported where rail connections do not exist and are not planned;
- may include safe connection with cycle infrastructure, allow safe connections with shared mobility solutions, as part of a wider project;
- may address infrastructure for access to public transport and transfers between transport modes within an existing of future planned multimodal passenger hub, including cycle and car sharing parking facilities, as part of a wider project.
Buildings in hubs can be funded only for their components relating to transport operations, such as to commuting of the passengers between different transport modes.
