Cross-border commuting in Central Europe: features, trends and policies
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6517-6088
Abstract Cross-border commuting is a growing phenomenon both in metropolitan and peripheral areas. Its increase is mostly guaranteed by private vehicles, which cause several negative externalities. Among the European macro-areas of cross-border commuting, Central Europe is characterized by relevant flows, which are originated by EU-13 countries and are headed to EU-15 ones. This article first investigates the specificities of transboundary commuting in Central Europe. Thereafter, it analyzes its transport challenges and best practices. Central European specificities are detected through socio-economic, territorial and transport related indicators, which are compared with other commuting areas. A best practice analysis is performed for four thematic fields: connectivity, multimodality, info-mobility tariffs/ticketing, political cooperation. The followed process highlights the rural character of Central European bordering regions, as well as the necessity to address their cross-border challenges by integrating different mobility aspects. In this way, a proper improvement of the quality of cross-border public transport may be an occasion to enforce minor relationships across borders. Further, it may grant a balance with the numerous policies focused on the development of the main centers and corridors.
Highlights Analysis of cross-border daily commuting in Europe Central Europe shows peculiar features influencing its transboundary commuting Differences and similarities between western and eastern parts of Central Europe Analysis of connectivity, multimodality, tariff integration and info-mobility A possible solution for transport issues via transregional cooperation through EGTC
