The framework within which collective and shared mobility services are planned and implemented affects and impacts substantially on quality of life in rural areas. The framework involves from one side the planning and organisation of the transport services and the management and coordination of the different local mobility measures.
The SMARTA Consortium carried out an in-depth analysis of the rural mobility frameworks in the EU-28 Member States (plus other countries such as Albania, Macedonia, Moldova, Canada, and Australia) which resulted in the production of a set of Insight Papers, documents that describe the framework (policy, obligations, resources, targets, etc.) within which rural shared mobility sits in a specific country.
