The event, showcased inspiring practice such as a modern hitch-hiking service in France; on-demand, door-to-door transport options in rural Ireland; and a free rural transport service for the Slovenian elderly.

The webinar, jointly organised by the Rural Pact Support Office and the EU-funded SMARTA-NET project, discussed ways of developing smart mobility in and between rural areas, and improving accessibility to peri-urban areas. It focused on three main implications of improving rural mobility: supporting rural tourism; enhancing access to services; and strengthening territorial and social cohesion.
