The NAPs, together with regional and local access points that might exist in the Member States, are an important component of the common European mobility data space under the European strategy for data and should be relied upon in particular as regards the accessibility of ITS data. By cooperating on the facilitation of access to data via the NAPs, Member States should strive to improve the NAPs’ effectiveness, interoperability, and cooperation across the Union as well as to facilitate the data users’ access to them.

Despite NAPs being operated in all Member States, there is still a need to improve accessibility of data concerning many data types that are deemed crucial to support the development of essential services providing the necessary information to the end users.

Building on and integrating the outcomes of the CEF Programme Support Actions NAPCORE and Data4PT project, the objective of this action is to further support the harmonised implementation of Delegated Regulations adopted under Directive 2010/40/EU. This action should support implementation of the requirements to make infrastructure, safety, traffic and travel data accurate and accessible to users (such as transport authorities or service providers) via the NAPs, i.e. all NAPs and associated data stemming from the implementation of Delegated Regulations (EU) No 885/2013, No 886/2013, 2015/962, 2017/1926 and 2022/670, including their possible revision during the lifetime of this action in the framework of the implementation of the working programme of the ITS Directive.

Τhis action is expected to further support the coordination and harmonisation of a standardised NAP data distribution ecosystem throughout the EU, contributing to the creation of a digital twin of the physical transport infrastructure and its operations, providing for a data layer supporting transport services.
