This timely book sheds light on the challenges facing European rail, air and intermodal transport regulation. Considering the impact of developments from digitalization to climate change, expert contributors provide a comprehensive overview of past, current and upcoming EU regulatory measures.
By examining the crucial role of transport, this book demonstrates how it underpins an innovative and competitive Europe, while also highlighting the substantial investments often required, particularly in high-speed rail and electric vehicle charging networks. Outlining the dynamic framework of EU transport regulation and the evolution of transport sectors in Europe, it considers how these issues, such as developing an interconnected and resilient Europe-wide transport network, are approached. Chapters review the EU rail and air regulations designed to introduce competition and attract investment, and explore the effect of traditional transport modes which have become part of multimodal mobility patterns.
Challenges in Transport Regulation in Europe and Beyond is a vital resource for students and scholars in the fields of development economics, regulatory policy, transport regulation and urban economics. Consultants working with transport regulatory authorities and transport operators will also benefit from the analysis of contemporary challenges in rail, air and intermodal transport regulation.

The chapters in this collection offer innovative, in-depth discussions of the regulatory, competitive, and restructuring challenges facing European policymakers as they cope with rapid technological change as well as resistance to reform and advances in economic and legal analysis. A majority of the chapters focus on the rail and air transport sectors, but more recent applications examined include data sharing, ridesharing apps, urban airspaces, and cruise ferries. -- Russell Pittman, Department of Justice, USA and Kyiv School of Economics, Ukraine
