New mobility patterns and policies in the COVID-19 era

This special issue includes papers describing the impacts of COVID-19 on mobility and on transport policies in several Countries (mainly European). The papers have been presented at the 49th European Transport Conference (ETC) organized by the Association for European Transport (AET). The aim is to analyze the trends and compare differences and similar patterns in diverse contexts after two years of travel restrictions. In fact, during the last two years, countries have adopted different approaches to cope with the pandemic, thus we believe it is time to assess their effectiveness and possibly to identify the most suitable ones based on the context.
