This webinar is organised by the Active Travel & Health Working Group with the support of the Just Transition Taskforce.

How can transport systems better meet the needs of both younger and older people while reducing transport poverty? 

Transport systems often fail to account for the different barriers faced by children, young people, older adults, and their caregivers: designing services and public spaces that are safe, accessible, and inclusive across generations can improve access to education, healthcare, employment, and social opportunities, while supporting more equitable and sustainable mobility. 

This webinar explores how cities and regions can integrate an intergenerational perspective into transport planning, drawing on practical experiences and research that promote mobility for all ages. Building on the theme of EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2026, ‘Mobility for Everyone – Intergenerational Fairness’, it prepares participants for the Annual POLIS Conference 2026 session on mobility across generations. 

About the Just Transition webinar series

This webinar is part of POLIS’ Just Transition webinar series dedicated to transport poverty. The series examines how cities and regions can address mobility injustice through targeted, inclusive local action. 

The series offers a timely platform to explore how local authorities and other urban mobility stakeholders can support fair and sustainable mobility. Building on POLIS’ recent policy paper on the SCF, each session tackles a key theme at the intersection of climate, equity, and mobility, showcasing strategies that drive structural change on the ground.
