Your help is needed to make it easier for people to plan and book their journeys in Europe

Although Europe boasts more than 100 different journey planners not one of them covers all countries and all transport modes. As the European Commission believes people are entitled to travel in a way that best suits their needs it launched a challenge this year to stimulate the development of a truly integrated journey planner. It has been receiving contributions for months and now it is time for the public to have their say. From 5 December 2011 to 13 January 2012 the pre-selected planners will be put to the e-vote on the DG Mobility & Transport website.

For the first time users of transport systems across Europe will have a chance to vote on a multi-modal journey planner of their choice in a bid to make travel simpler.

By taking a minute to select their preferred online planner and casting their vote people will be given a voice on a subject of multimodal travelling that is central to European Transport Policy.

Your collaboration will be vital. Thank you for helping to make this initiative a success!

For more information and voting please visit the European Commission DG Mobility & Transport website.
