Transport decarbonisation measures increasingly raise social risks, particularly with respect to access to transport and affordability. Drawing on preliminary results from ongoing research, we briefly presented key challenges and territorial differences related to transport access in Hungary, and discussed good practices and potential policy approaches that simultaneously address environmental sustainability and transport equity. Our aim is to support policy dialogue on concrete types of measures and planning dilemmas that may contribute to more sustainable transport policy decisions over the longer term.

At the event, Tamás Szabó, Head of Department at the Ministry of Construction and Transport, delivered a presentation entitled “Fair and Balanced Access in Hungarian Transport Policy”.

Participants in the roundtable discussion included:

• Kornél Kovács, Head of Department, Ministry of Construction and Transport
• Lea Kőszeghy, Senior Research Fellow, ELTE Centre for Social Sciences
• András Szele, Lead Expert, Mobilissimus Ltd.
• András Kéri, Managing Director, Energiaklub

The language of the workshop was Hungarian. More information is available here.
